I don’t know where the idea came from that being mean to people in your research group will lead to higher productivity, but it needs to end. Not only is this unethical, but it is also ineffective. The best research happens when people are supported and treated with kindness.

This is not a joke. In these times, we are unbelievably seeing a proposal for a quarry extension into 50+ hectares of #AncientWoodland. That's about 70 football pitches of precious habitat. Mind-boggling that Kent County Council is even considering this. Please take the time to object!
