“I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all frighten people and secondly, demoralise them…An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern.”
~ Tony Benn
A reminder of an era where some of our politicians were genuine public servants.

Inspiring to see Greater Manchester finally take back full control of its bus network.
It's time for Greater Glasgow to do the same.

After 40 years of damaging deregulation, Greater Manchester has this morning successfully retaken control of the whole of its bus network. 🙌🏻

Our scientists are out on survey this week on @ScottishEPA's Sir John Murray. The work they are doing includes sediment sampling to monitor for contaminants in the marine environment #STEM #Collaboration

Is antibiotic-resistant bacteria in 🇬🇧rivers a threat to public health? 💧🦠
This is what the #PooSticksStudy aims to understand but we need your help!
We've been studying the gut microbiomes of #wildswimmers and are now looking for volunteers who don't swim in rivers, lakes, or the sea (though wild swimmers can still sign up!).
💩samples from non-swimmers are key to understanding how widespread these bacteria are among the British public.
Interested? Request your kit now: bit.ly/poo-sticks

Please share! The more people take part, the more confidence we can have in our findings.

Never mind our infrastructure, our landscape isn’t able to cope with the intensity of rainfall we’re getting now.

Interesting project Andrew, follows on nicely from the Beach Bums study in southwest England and the PIER project in Ireland @markfranklin77 @Domhnallnacasag @sh
‘Poo-Sticks’ Study
Those in the UK are now aware that treated and untreated #sewage regularly impacts our rivers but we don't know how this impacts people.
This study aims to fill this gap in knowledge.

Today marks 50 years since the Paris Convention on land-based sources of pollution was opened for signature. The Paris and Oslo Conventions later joined to form OSPAR so today is something of a birthday for us and a celebration of 50 years protecting the North-East Atlantic 🥳

Extreme short duration rainfall events are much more likely in future.
It’s inevitable one will land on a major population centre soon.
Only this afternoon storms over Donegal (sparsely populated area) dropped huge amounts of water in a short time
