GIVEAWAY!!.. I've got 2 A3 whale prints which weren't covered up properly so have gone slightly discoloured around the edge. I wouldn't be able to sell them on my shop so I'm going to give one away on here and the other one over on Instagram. Just retweet by Wednesday 12pm

Thank you @MelissaMarselle @ufz @idiv for organising great @VolkswagenSt symposium and for inspiring discussions on #biodiversity and #health links with wonderful colleagues! @ProfPennyCook @Sarah_J_Lindley @RolKraemer @_a_h_b_ @ItaTrigueroMas
Interdisciplinary experts @VolkswagenSt symposium on exploring the pathways linking #biodiversity to human #health. The beautiful Herrenhäuser Gärten is an excellent place to understand how biodiversity can be good or bad for our health and well-being.

I haven't given up on the artwork. I've just been working on a few things that I haven't been able to post for various reasons. So, here's one done for someone's birthday - Treecreepers & Nuthatches - not a #hiddengems one! #birds #art #nature

Interesting new research by @PlymUni has shown that being able to see #greenspaces from your home is linked with reduced cravings for alcohol, cigarettes and harmful foods. Could exposure to #bluespaces show similar results? bit.ly/2Y6Zbrf

The relationship between #biodiversity and human #health has several important implications for #conservation - our new #openaccess book chapter out today with @MartinDallimer @RichFullerUQ and Zoe Davies @DICE_Kent link.springer.com/chapter/10…
"Natural features of the environment such as greenness and biodiversity are important determinants of subjective wellbeing...Private greenness more strongly associated with subjective wellbeing than public greenness" sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Interesting research by @DrPaulBrindley @IWUNproject @LandscapeSheff showing #socialmedia data not a good proxy for #greenspace quality ground measures! Have a read @UWE_SPE @UWEBristol @DanniSinnett @PaN_BES! – at Stevenage, East
Our latest (open access) paper addresses two aspects: (1) is greenspace cleanliness associated with improved general health and (2) can data from social media help measure greenspace quality? sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
