I love this idea of "shifting" taxes on foods rather than adding or cutting them, to improve health and lower environmental costs. Not sure whether it would work in the UK with most foods already zero-rated though 🤔 www.mygreenpod.com/articles/shi...
Shifting food taxes
A food tax shift could save lives – without a price hike in the average shopping basket.

Ok, it *is* true that the idea of Daylight savings was invented by an entomologist that wanted more time to catch bugs, but I assure you few modern entomologists support it. nautil.us/the-19th-cen...

Used uddermint for the first time this week. It smells too good to just be for cows, right?

Selfies with colleagues are looking a bit different now... officially made my first muddy steps as a farmer, joining the team at North Aston Farms. Expect more cow- and soil- related updates from now on 🐮

A bit of visible mending to show off this week: tried a new technique using cross stitch fabric as I didn't trust my embroidery skills on this big a rip. Red squirrel in honour of my current home, Ynys Mon. #visiblemending #repairrewear #redsquirrel

Nothing quite brings a module about pollinators to life like seeing new bees emerge from brood cells and tasting the honey from the university hives!
New Queen* in the hive today! A result of supercedure whereby bees select a new queen without swarming. Our Conservation MSc students get to learn about beekeeping and this is the first time we've seen this on a field visit.(*with dot) 👑👩🎓 @paulcross.bsky.social @bangoruniversity.bsky.social

In my MSc we're trialling new methods of species control in the field... the fun way.
They also decided to test a novel method of bracken control, concluding that it was very effective, sustainable and fun, if a bit disorienting #students #MenWiilBeBoys #EndOfTerm @paulcross.bsky.social @bangoruniversity.bsky.social

One week on from Spain's blackout - and media outlets can talk about is solar power. So I decided to look into Spain's nuclear fleet, and discovered that in April, it was operating at its lowest levels in ten years
Why? Here's a hefty piece digging into that, for you:

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.
Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!
We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚
