Climate change is a top issue for UK voters, but you wouldn’t think it when you listen to our politicians. Please sign this petition to tell Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer to speak up for the climate https://action.wearepossible.org/page/151367/data/1 #GE2024 #Climate

British Sugar is the sole buyer and processor of UK-grown sugar, but currently the company provides no way for beet farmers who choose not to use neonics to market their sugar as neonic-free. And as consumers, we have no way of knowing if the sugar we buy is affected.

Sign the petition to tell British Sugar you want them to support farmers who choose not to use neonics.

Each year I teach a workshop for PhD students on science communication on social media. A lot has changed in the last year and I'm updating my slides to include new social media sites.

What do you think of Mastodon as a platform to communicate science? What are its pros / cons?
