- I had a great afternoon at the @rgsibg.bsky.social collecting the Cuthbert Peek award. The whole event was fantastic - a really inspiring group of prize winners who are advancing geography in so many ways, including student projects, teachers, researchers, civil servants and those doing outreach.
- The speeches were amazing - particularly from Dariusz Wójcik and Susan Smith, who both reminded me of why I love geography. A particular thank you to my parents - Bud and Martin Sandbrook - who were there on the day. It was very special to share the moment with them.
- 9 months waiting for UK gov action on the HE funding crisis and what we get is a tax on international student fees, which are currently keeping the entire sector afloat. Labour are bending the knee to the far right at the expense of all the benefits we get from thriving universities. So frustrating!

- Impeccable timing George! But an important and interesting post nonetheless
- I wrote this @naturalengland.bsky.social blogpost at the start of last week, but the recent #lynx releases have brought this issue to the fore. P.S. the deadline for our PhD project on this has just closed, but we hope to advertise more opportunities soon. www.linkedin.com/pulse/who-le...
- Reposted by Chris SandbrookThis paper by @csandbrook.bsky.social also provides a thoughtful review of the uses and abuses of #AI in #conservation: "arguing that to date there has been too much techno-optimism and a lack of attention to risks and broader implications". conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
