From an environmental perspective there is not a lot of good things to say about data centres and their rapid growth. So what does the future hold?

Thames water report that an estimated 3.8 billion wet wipes are flushed into their sewer system annually (2026). They clear over 100 wipe-related blockages every day. Find out more at:

The increase in untreated wastewater entering surface waters has become a major problem, yet we rarely get to hear what causes wastewater treatment plant failures. A case study has recently been published. Find out more at waterscience2050.blogspot.com

Home Economics by Caitriona Lally is a remarkably honest and insightful account of the realities of being a modern female author. Great read, though if you are planning to start a family you may feel inclined to remain in ignorance. Highly recommended. Five stars.

I met Desmond Morris many times while studying in London and spending many happy hours at Regents Park Zoo. Always happy to encourage research involving us ‘limited’ undergraduates. Enjoyed all his books especially his insight into aggressive behaviour. www.bbc.com/news/article... #zoology
Zoologist and author Desmond Morris dies aged 98
Morris, who was also a surrealist painter and broadcaster, was best known for his 1967 book The Naked Ape.

Just finished this wonderfully insightful novel by Caitriona Lallly. I have always enjoyed our modern Irish female poets, and Caitriona's book is a classic and must read. I have just ordered her new book Home Economics which is out in a few weeks. Can't wait. #Irishauthors #books

This administration is really at 'a four year low'
You gotta admit, the staffers in the background keeping it real are the best part.

This administration is really at 'a four year low'
This man has caused so much suffering around the world. A child like leader who has destabilised the world and caused more damage than any other in the modern era.
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change
The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Delighted that my latest book 'Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment' has been published by World Scientific. It explores the exciting new range of anaerobic processes that are transforming WWTPs into resource recovery centres. doi.org/10.1142/q0507

Humiliating senior military leaders in public is not a good idea.
Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

Great to see the exciting new electrochemical oxidation technologies for #PFAS destruction being rolled out to enable new drinking water limits to be met. New systems for PFAS destruction in #biosolids also being tested with hydrothermal alkaline and plasma-based systems on the table. #wastewater

No AI on Daniel O'Connell stamp with TV aerial - An Post
An Post has said AI software was not used to generate the artwork on a stamp, which appears to show a television aerial on a building behind the nationalist leader Daniel O'Connell.

#GreenRoofs are increasingly common in urban areas but given the current combination of heat and water shortages are they always safe? They also require significant structural support. Good for biodiversity not as good as painting a roof white for #emissions and cooling buildings at night

A first for me. We have #swallows in all our outbuildings which is a bit of a problem as they are so messy...hence the cars are covered as they nest above them. This one has been perched on the car aerial for the past month and spends hours watching other swallows in action #birds #conservation

Each year I have to cut down the hogweed at the bottom of my percolation area where I have a small willow stand. It's a lovely plant but so invasive producing massive seed heads. Creating a range of habitats requires a lot of management #gardening #conservation #nature
