Thank you for the t-shirt @GeographyUOM. It was my top for the school day! 🌏🌍🌎
One of my team visited on Saturday with her daughter. Both were so inspired by your department. We will try to pass some of that on to our Geography students!

I’ll be running the Manchester Marathon today and then 4 weeks later the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, all to raise money for the Leeds Hospitals charity, Rob Burrow MND Centre in Leeds. If you can give anything that would be much appreciated.

I'm marking undergraduate essays, and find myself giving a lot of feedback that sounds as though it comes straight from my "How to write essays..." textbook... Because it does! Here is some of my advice for student writing (see images).

Pleased to finally be releasing our pollen models back to the wild. Our collection dating back to 2016 (67 plant species and counting) can now be downloaded from 3dprint.nih.gov/discover?uid…
More to come in the future.
