I’ll be striking today too. Because I support the living wage and a pay rise that keeps up with inflation.

One of the ‘anti-Net Zero brigade’’s favorite myths is that the UK is only responsible for 1% of the world’s emissions. What should we bother lowering our emissions when China, the US and India emit so much more?

Kia ora friends! A big question- I’m looking for examples of my/ our work being used in teaching or other things. Especially work on whakataukī / mātauranga and ecology. Please DM or reply with examples including class, institution, & why - would so appreciate it! The evidence we rarely hear about 😆

I can’t predict the environment my kids will inherit. None of us can. But ecology has taught me a lot about living in an unpredictable world. For one: resilience doesn’t come from optimising for the conditions you expect. It comes from keeping different paths alive for futures you can’t predict.

It was a blast today at #Kew Gardens. Viewing cloaks like this #Maori one made from mountain daisy #tikumu leaves made a wonderful start to the morning. Huge thanks to Dr Mark Nesbitt and others for sharing their time 🧪

An absolute joy to be at Université Paris-Saclay with @ivanjaric.bsky.social yesterday talking invasive species, cultural integration and more. A great group of PIs students and postdocs AND a walk through forest. Thank you for hosting - I hope to be back.

Meeting collaborators after years of working virtually is rewarding, and especially when they are not only brilliant, but work with kindness and inclusivity.

This raises important points about conservation and how we ensure enduring protection for life, while respecting local communities. 🧪

Madi is a joy to talk history with! Her kōrero at a @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social writing retreat a few years ago when her book on Polynesian voyaging came out raised so many questions. Excited to hear what she does next.

Anyone know about these beautiful botanical cards from the DSIR? I bet Bill Lee would know something (not on bluesky)….but he’s also a great writer.

Phil Garnock-Jones@theobrominated.eurosky.social

Yes I have a few. They're very nice paintings (kōwhai, mānuka, ngutukākā) by the botanical illustrators on staff. I think the Director was trying to show Head Office that we were willing, but he almost certainly realised it was futile.
