I was honoured to be asked by @HeritageFundUK to write abt the dominance of whiteness in natural heritage & conservation sector. How can we encourage more BAME ppl into nature where only 0.6% comprise the workforce. Read my blog to find out more. FYI @lucysiegle @BBCWomansHour
In our #FutureHeritage blog series, leading figures from across the sector share their thoughts on what could change, and what opportunities might lie ahead.

Someone messaged to tell me that this group shouldn't "take away from men"
Because apparently empowering and amplifying the voices of; women, BAME, disabled in stem and anyone else who feels marginalised, left out and unsafe, is taking away from men.

Absolutely horrendous to hear. We need to make the beaches, coastal paths and open areas safe. How can we police these areas and make them safer? Accountability of our peers, zero tolerance to any form of abuse and watch out for each other @LymeOnlineUK lyme-online.co.uk/news/lyme-…

It’s #StaffSunday! Our Prep Lab Supervisor recently uncovered a lizard skeleton that was hiding in a block of limestone! She found about 8 inches of tail, but it's likely even longer than that. 🦎

What phrase signals that the person using it doesn't understand your field?
Example: "Computer error."

Anastasia has always felt there has been nowhere to go for support, and although being vocal about what happens to her on social media, nothing has changed.

Anastasia, after a lot of thought, has decided to create her own group, so that she can be there to support others and hopefully make real change in this field.
