I'm immensely chuffed to have won #writeroftheyear at @PPA_Live awards 2023, but success has many parents. Thanks to my amazing colleagues across the board at @newscientist. This one is for all of us. And for Clare ❤️💔

Along with my esteemed colleague @GrahamLawton, I was one of the last hundred or so expected visitors to step foot in the @TidewayLondon tunnel, aka London's super sewer, before it's sealed it off forever. Not that you'd want to be down there afterward💩. Video for @newscientist
A monstrous concrete pipe with a capacity of 1.6 million cubic metres is being built under London to reduce the frequency of sewage discharges into the Thames. New Scientist went underground to find out more - newscientist.com/article/237…

My car was stolen last night. It had items of great sentiment value in the boot, namely the gardening gear I use to look after my wife Clare's grave. It was locked and had a big steering lock on. The keys are in my house. How can people do this?

The new status of Albania's river Vjosa is a major conservation milestone. But plans to open an airport on the river's delta next year soured the celebrations, says @GrahamLawton newscientist.com/article/mg2…
