I'm really sorry to hear that - it just sucks!

Yes, I think I got a similar message when looking for PhDs (also that there was nothing in NL for my interest - 10 yrs later envhums centres everywhere 🫠). The academic appl process asks so much and is just exhausting.

Great to see this from National Life Stories @britishlibrary.bsky.social Paul Merchant drawing on our collaborative work @renewbiodiversity.bsky.social! Fascinating stories from community #environmentalism of 1980s-90s, drawing out the nuances and dilemmas of industrial funding. #envhums #histSTM

"Many environmental organisations in Britain in the 1980s and 1990s were sponsored by companies, including oil companies."

Paul Merchant uses oral history to examine the links between corporate sponsorship and environmental activism in 1980s and 1990s Britain.

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸

We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto.

The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.
