Minister Noonan said: "Let's be clear. These fires do not occur naturally. They’re set deliberately, with no concern for the wide-ranging impacts on local people’s health and wellbeing, private property, tourism, emergency services, the defence forces and indeed the public purse"

Looks like highly pathogenic avian influenza has now reached Irish gannet colonies. Loads of dead birds sighted on aerial surveys in the southwest. ⁦Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC⁩ ⁦MaREI⁩ ⁦@Dept_ECC⁩ ⁦Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage⁩

Scientists spend too much time taking “professional selfies”. A paper from PNAS describes what it takes to be a scientist today. Key points (that I always emphasize myself): #AcademicTwitter Academic Chatter™ #research

Unbelievable... I am so so angry about this. I loved that Plymouth City Centre was full of these beautiful mature trees, that will take decades to replace. Completely irresponsible and unjust behaviour by Plymouth City Council .

The true extent of the environmental vandalism by #Plymouth’s Conservative council is now visible in our city centre. Over 100 trees felled overnight. This was the last green part of a very urban city centre and now looks like part of the Amazon after deforestation.
