@sandrajasper.bsky.social and I will be presenting our ongoing wildlife sound archives research at two events in September. First, we will give a keynote at the Experimental Archives conference at Kingston University (11th-12th September). Info and tickets here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/experiment...

A good start to this year's Butterfly Conservation count, with ten species spotted in my local urban patch, including Common Blue, Small Copper, Brown Argus, Comma, Small Skipper, and Meadow Brown.

Cardiff University Council have rubber-stamped significant cuts across the University. Shameful, but not at all surprising.

While I still suspect that Council will approve the proposed cuts to Cardiff University, I am thankful that the Senate voted this way.

With interdisciplinary colleagues (biology, architecture, history, digital cultures, etc), I'm co-organising the SOUND+PURPOSE conference in Lund, 20-21 Nov. Please come and join our discussions of the *why* of sound and the *purpose* of sound research. CFP deadline 9 June: www.lmc.lu.se/en/node/591

Brutal cuts on the horizon here at Cardiff University, with proposals for 400 redundancies. Whole departments to close, and poorly thought through mergers. Zero transparency. Heartbreaking.
