It is a wonderful yet slightly surreal feeling to see the thesis in print. Thank you to everyone who has advised, examined, reviewed and supported the work along the way, and especially the people and island of #Inishbofin #phdlife

Thank you to everyone @Climate_Circus has met on the road in 2024, for 1,000s of shared #Climate conversations and all your support. We'll be back in 2025. Until then, wishing everyone a very happy holiday season!

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago.
We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better.
It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

An amazing few days in #Achill with @Climate_Circus for #climatechange #sciencecomms. Humbled as always by the extent of local, place knowledge, awareness of local climate and biodiversity change impacts, and generosity in sharing knowledge. #outreach is a two-way process

Busy, fun days in #Achill. Sharing #climatechange conversations & games as part of @Researchirel #Scienceweek & finding time for hopscotch & beach walks! Hearing what people are observing locally too. Huge thanks to fab hosts @circus250 & to the community #sciencecomms #outreach

We’re excited to share that our final event of 2024 is an online Writing Day on Thurs 12 Dec. Sometimes writing can become quite isolating, especially the end phase of a #Thesis. But we don’t have to do it all alone. Join us and let's write together #PECN #Phdlife #Masterslife

Thinking about #Geographer peers and friends - esp #postgrad and #earlycareer #geographers - who are #thesis writing, have a deadline, or any of the work that ties us to our desks. It's a bank holiday. The sun is (mostly) shining. Pls remember to take a break today 🌳🌊☀️☕️📺🎶💪

Such a beautiful gift and card to receive in this morning's post, two days before my viva, from Inishbofin Island. My climate change research fieldwork "site" but so much more. And a place and people that so generously taught me over the years, and continue to do so.
