It's that time of year again... widespread elevated #particulate #airpollution across #Yorkshire and eastern England right now. Here is #Leeds Centre (data from @DefraUKAir).

On #InternationalWomensDay, I celebrate my grandmother—my inspiration. A mathematician in Spain, she raised 6 children, lived through a civil war & dictatorship, and became the first woman to lead a School of Education at a Spanish university 💜 #IWD2025

I’m so sorry to hear this, Michael. Thank you for letting us know. Sending a big hug to you all. I didn’t know Helen personally, but I used to cycle alongside her on my way home from work. I admired her confidence and style cycling in a skirt—I knew she was “cyclinginaskirt”

Hi cycling twitter. I'm Michael, Helen's husband. As some of you may know Helen's last scan showed that the cancer has grown and is impacting kidney function. This means we have reached the end of the road for treatment and are focusing on keeping Helen comfortable.

Beyond voluntary severance, departments are turning off lights for Christmas, cutting international field courses, warming freezers from -80°C to -70°C, etc to reduce the uni’s carbon footprint… while the VC flies business class 🤔

Sheffield’s air quality is taking a serious hit tonight with Bonfire Night. PM2.5 is rising to toxic levels—my @sensorcommunity sensor is recording 40 µg/m³, and you can even smell it in the air. Consider limiting time outdoors if you can! @CleanAirSheff @SheffieldAir

Everyone at the Grantham Centre was deeply saddened to hear about the tragic passing of @Graham21, founder of @CleanAirSheff. Graham was an inspiring campaigner & a fantastic person who we were very grateful to have speak at our @FestOfDebate 2024 event. He will be sorely missed.

The world lost a good one. My friend and colleage @Graham21, founder of @CleanAirSheff, passed away. He cared deeply for Sheffield and worked tirelessly for cleaner air. His legacy will live on in the work he did for all of us. Sending love to everyone who knew him 💔

Busy but fantastic time at the @lc3m_cdr annual meeting this week! #EnhancedWeathering, from modeling to lab & field work, commercialisation, and policy. Plus, a fun food tour around #Sheffield, topped off w/ a chocolate tasting and an exhibition on soil magnetic separation!
