My use of Twitter is paused pending future statements by the company about changes its policies on disinformation and promotion of violence on the platform. Please use email as I won’t see DMs.🤞

The book 'Doughnut Economics' opens with the story of Yuan Yang who, as a young economics student back in 2008, was challenging the outdated theory she was being taught. Last night she was elected as the first-ever MP for Earley & Woodley. Huge congratulations @YuanfenYang !

@oldenoughtosay I really struggled to explain this to my German colleagues this morning.

@Bill_Sutherland There’s a recent attempt at a gradualist synthesis as an alternative, I think: cambridge.org/core/journals/… I vaguely recall a conversation that topography is integral to this and therefore there was quite a lot of estuarine modelling. Definitely at the edge of my knowledge here…

@rich_ Interesting and thanks. As I understand it the Mesolithic community left due to sea level rise and a tsunami resulting from a landslip off Norway - the Storegga Slide.

Planning a video on estuaries. Am interested in thinking about what they looked like prior to major human influence. Anyone know of any evidence on this? Thanks!

Fired up twitter for election stuff. Back to not using it any more. But look! @nhcooper123 is getting more famous by the week…

@adsquires Indeed - very happy to see that!

Very proud of my brilliant sister-in-law, who's going to be an amazing MP for Finchley and Golders Green

@Saddy_94 Lots and lots of new dynamics. And no idea how long many of them will go on for, either.

Amongst the Labour landslide a lot of interesting and surprising results… lots to digest here… #GE24

@dylan_childs Espresso? You animal.

@Samfr There’s a reasonable chance he filled in the wrong form.

What on God's earth would possess you to put *Chris Grayling* - one of the worst ministers in British history - in the House of Lords?! We were just about to get rid of him ffs.

@AndyPurvisNHM Truly this paper has been the gift that never stops giving - and there’s no reason that it ever should.

One scroll down “my” timeline reminds me why this place needs to die.

@jamesrbuk @llandudyes @guyshrubsole National totals don’t help this debate. Individual small catchments can be devastated because the local runoff is catastrophic, but it’s barely noticeable if you measure the proportion at the mouth of the Thames, say.

This is a 100% legitimate point for a conservation charity to be making. The lies - and they are lies: deliberate untruths, told for gain - are policy pronouncements that investments of money, land, and personnel are made against. Charitable purpose and delivery are compromised.

I’ll happily die on the hill of academic freedom of speech. But I’m damned if I’m sharing it with the Oxford Union who have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Logged on for the first time in months to find an old link - timeline full of Andrew T*&e, Musk tweets and ads for GB news. Have this, go elsewhere.

Just breaking my own Twitter embargo to congratulate @johnmittermeier and colleagues on refinding Otidiphaps insularis after 146 years, and also on outrunning pirates. We need to adjust the postgraduate research skills training accordingly :) bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…

@KatieAndThePigs Ah! I really need to run them again now so many people have moved…

@KatieAndThePigs You probably know this but if you put your mastodon username and server in your Twitter bio, anyone who follows you can run one of these tools and locate you over there, and you can locate anyone you follow in the same way: edtechfactotum.com/2-tools-to-hel…

@Leigh_Phillips I don’t want to kick a man when he’s down, but just how compatible did you think they might be? I’m on my third TV remote and second wireless mouse this year…

Lego and Beagles are not as compatible as I had thought.

@ArisKatzourakis @RELenski It’s not a random sample of individuals by any means. Wildlife rescues and short trap periods - more likely to get sick and habituated individuals.

@RELenski Positive seroprevalence doesn't mean the virus is established in those species though
