I got a great experience in explaining my PhD in 4 minutes at #ASC2022 and it was such a pleasure to meet so many people from a similar field and find potential collaborations. Having a chance to also present a poster was an extra bonus! #ClimateChangeImpacts #OffshoreWind

What an awesome start to #EPSRC_ENZ! Thanks to the people from @CDT_ReNU and @WindEnergyCDT for being our first participants 🙂 #OffshoreWind #AuraCDT #TeamEffort

The team of Aura CDT students and I developed a game about the #OffshoreWind sector. We are excited to showcase it at Engineering Net Zero 2022! Check us out in Glasgow on 21-23 June or in our virtual booth at tinyurl.com/4acet4tm #EPSRC_ENZ #SciComm @_aurainnovation

Those who want to continue learning about impacting policy after today's workshop by @voiceofyoungsci can ask their institution to look into training by @fasttrackimpact (not affiliated, I genuinely enjoyed their training and that is where I got the bug for influencing policy!)

The conversation with researchers, journalists and policymakers today #inspired me to get in touch with the local councils and maybe revive my mini blog and start explaining how #ClimateScience and #Energy work #VoYS #sciencecommunication

So many fruitful and useful discussions today around communicating science to media and the public at Stand Up for Science workshop by @voiceofyoungsci . Looking forward to hearing the view of policymakers on #SciComms and research impact on policy after lunch! #VoYS

In the category best oral presentation of the day, we are please to announce Nathan Griffiths @N_P_Griffiths as runner-up and Victoria Bessonova @wind_researcher as the winner 🏆👏

Brilliant day at #HullPGRDay2022 ! Learnt that there are salmon in the Humber, that eels live up the river dams and spawn in sea, otters prefer slow moving fish and that not all of the microplastics in sands makes it to the digestive systems of invertebrates!

It was so great to hear first hand about experience of women in business! Great start of the #InternationalWomensDay (the day turned out so busy that I left this tweet half finished at 10am, and got back to it just now!) #WomenInSTEM #BreakingTheBias

Yesterday we announced the Green Room Project! 📅 7 days 👨‍🎓 5 students 🏠 1 house 💥 Lots of challenges It's time to meet our first 2 housemates! 🍂 Will Forbes is studying Business Management with Sustainability. 🍂 Maria Hague is on our International Business course.

Going through causes and consequences of #ClimateChange as part of the @climate_fresk #ScienceCommunication training confirmed how complex #ClimateChangeImpacts are and how they are interconnected. At some point, it became hard to picture these connections 😅

Black Fridays usually pass by unnoticed for me as I try #BuyNothing unless I really need it. Today I want to join @EC_magazine and #BoycottAmazon. I stopped buying from Amazon ages ago, they are naughty every year and don't deserve our money for Christmas

@Sia, @Pink and a run in the autumn sunrise gave me a sudden #MotivationBoost #CourageToChange #Unstoppable #ClimateChange #Research #OffshoreWind

A year ago I was reading about how scientists use supercomputers to study #climatechange. It's strange to realise that now I'm one of them - I just got access to JASMIN #supercomputer managed by @cedanews! So excited to start looking into climate change impacts on #waves

Can we rely on people to make these changes or should the government's create the environment for people to facilitate them?🤔 I'd say both, but none of the individual changes will make a lot of difference while #fossilfuel is subsidised. #COP26 #NoPlanetB #ClimateCrisis

An interesting discussion from @OceanEarthUoS about #savingtheoceans and the fact that most emission reductions will come from the individual behaviour changes.

September doesn't let me rest! #AuraCDT conference last week, #GOW this week! #busybee #offshorewind #renewableenergy #NetZeroBy2050

It was great to present yesterday at #AuraCDT conference and connect with other researchers and the industry. Can't wait to hear today's talks on research by students and post-docs at @_aurainnovation #OffshoreWind #NetZero #Renewables

Up next is Victoria Bessonova on her research into climate change impacts on the offshore wind industry, co-funded by #AuraCDT and @ORECatapult Will increased storminess mean there’ll be too much wind?

@tarawestover thank you so much for having courage to share your story. It was like a therapy and I nearly cried remembering similar situations from my childhood. I sympathise you deeply. I finally felt like I am not alone and I don't have to justify the lack of love in my family
