This should be all over the front pages. The government's terminating our right to protest, through amendments sneaked into the Police Bill at the last minute. It's the biggest assault on democracy in 70+ years, and hardly anyone seems to know. My column theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The holidays shouldn’t be a time to recharge. They should be a time to celebrate. If work is exhausting people to the point that they’re using their time off to recover, you might have a burnout culture. A healthy organization doesn’t leave people drained in the first place.

Had a fantastic time in Portugal discussing our recent work on plant blindness with other ERCs at the CERES project. W/ @_niahjones Muriel Kat Konstantinou

Had a fantastic couple of days at the CeresInternational workshop in Portugal learning how to plan and conduct field trips and enrich them with #creativity, #multidisciplinarity and #inclusivity 🤲🏼 Stunning views and an inspiring team! 🌊

Self-care is not the opposite of compassion. It's the opposite of self-neglect. Self-neglect is sacrificing yourself to serve others. Self-care is making sure that helping others doesn't hurt you. Setting boundaries doesn't mean you're self-centered. It means you're self-aware.

Ascension’s Marine Protected Area (MPA) is now completely closed to large-scale commercial fishing, including destructive longline fishing #2021Reflections

One of the clearest signs of learning is rethinking your assumptions and revising your opinions. 21 things I rethought in 2021: a thread...

Our new paper is out showing a decline in Caribbean reef sharks in an MPA in Belize. We cant always assume an MPA is working and the benefits may be species-specific (we did not observe a decline in nurse sharks).

Had such a wonderful time today in the #woods with Generation Wild and the Benow Forest School 🪵 learning about #outdoor #education and bringing back your inner child 🌱

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! 💪🏽 In honour of the day I attended tonight’s #WomenInConservation conference and it was the best line-up of truly inspiring women. ✨ Could you end the evening any better than with a Rupi Kaur quote? Women in Conservation, Cornwall University of Exeter, Cornwall

Just arrived in Belize and can’t wait to explore what this beautiful country has to offer 🌴 Very excited to start our fieldwork on Turneffe Atoll this Sunday with MarAlliance & @coralandthereef 🤿

Sadly, I keep hearing from ocean funders & science organizations that they do not fund social science research. Yet, these orgs claim that they aim to achieve human wellbeing, social equity & inclusive governance. Good marine social science is needed to achieve these aims.
