Very much enjoyed my visit to speak with University of York natural sciences students about the mass die-offs. The story has mostly gone unnoticed by the younger generation - guess I should've been banging the drum on Tiktok and Insta too (shudders).

Well worth a read. TVM have been keeping a resolute and keen eye on this issue,

Here Aditya Chakrabortty paints an appalling picture of the MAB deductions by simply describing them. I wish others would do the same. Employers (Queen Mary University of London among the worst as ever, but more widely) went OFF THE DEEP END and we don't seem to have processed this. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

SAVE OUR SEA In the current The Royal Photographic Society journal Following the devastating wash-up of crabs and lobsters back in October 2021, I have been working with lobster fishermen along the Teesside and Yorkshire coastline with the support of the TPA/RPS Environmental Bursary 2023.

More lies, misdirection and cover ups. Without being prompted robot Michael Gove spurts the party line about the NE mass mortalities. It was NOT politically motivated, we DO have evidence it was linked to Teesside development and it continues to impact our coastline 🦀🦞☠️

More excellent dredging up the facts by Tees Valley Monitor. The evidence base is growing that work on the Teesworks site has, and continues to cause enormous damage to the northeast marine ecosystem.

This is not political, this is about leveraging the power of science to uncover the truth.

We simply can't allow the destruction wrought upon our northeast seas & the folks who depend upon it to be forgotten. The ongoing Post Office scandal is a case in point, where skint little people are left to fight those with very deep pockets (and an aversion to the truth).

Best read with a mug of steaming hot coffee. Sets out many of the deep rooted issues/failings of the UK higher education sector.

Grateful to Shellfish Association of Great Britain and Joe Redfern for the invite to talk at their annual meeting. As someone who normally dresses like an abject scuff, the black tie dinner was way out of my comfort zone, but a random woman on the street said I looked dashing 😁
