I had a lovely morning presenting the Natural Environment Research Council ECOMIX project at the Foss and Upper Ouse Stakeholder Partnership event. It was great to hear about all the great work going on along the Foss.

The polluter must pay to address #PFAS , suggests draft conclusions by the Belgian Presidency, which urge that 'priority attention' is given to the 'dangerous nature of PFAS' ⚠️.

#PolluterPays #foreverchemicals

👩🏽‍⚖️ In a landmark decision, the US EPA has set legally enforceable limits on 5 different #foreverchemicals in drinking water!

This crucial step could help to protect the health of millions of Americans.

Here are some reflections on the recent seismic shift in the conversations around PFAS uses. It’s looking optimistic, but more work is still needed. The discussion is now very much about fluoropolymers and F-gases.

The ECOWILD CDT is currently advertising 23 PhD projects to start in September this year. Including a number at York. A series of project information sessions will be running next week. More details can be found at this link: ecowild.site.hw.ac.uk/phd-training/

We have a funded PhD position available in the team exploring the combined impacts of climate change and chemical pollution on wetland organisms. Further information on the project and information on how to apply can be found at: findaphd.com/phds/project/i…

Too many politicians, investment banks and multi-national corporates are not doing enough. They see her zero as a cost and not an investment in our future. They are blinded by lack of foresight and trying to protect the status quo.

This idea that “London is in the grip of Islamists” is deluded and it’s awful - an obsession that thrives among a bizarre and dangerous coalition. No conservative MP should ever be spouting this stuff.

Lee Anderson’s words about Sadiq Khan are blatant Islamophobia. This is inflammatory racism & it is deliberate.

The Tories must not play games with this. It is too serious. Rishi Sunak must act.

#AMR is no longer a silent pandemic 📢

The world urgently needs a better global pipeline for #antibiotics , one that is driven by #publichealth need and serves everyone.

ECORISC CDT Natural Environment Research Council Great few days in Gloucester with the ECORISC CDT coming up with an action plan to maximise the impact of our projects. Lovely to meet everyone from all the cohorts and to chat to the ECORISC partners

Time to invoke the polluter pays principle as part of industry's extended producer (polluter) responsibilities (EPR); that and increased barriers to market access are the main ways to drive green innovation in industry. If not we get the status quo or a pure Net Zero focus.

Thanks ECORISC CDT for the wonderful engagement. JNCC are feeling the #impact already! Feeling really positive #forpeopleforplanet with you scientists of the future!

It has been fantastic getting the whole ECORISC CDT team together this week to explore links between the different PhD projects and to discuss how the CDT can maximize its impact.
