Still smiling after a busy week at #SETACVienna2025. Lots of interesting discussion - I particularly enjoyed the sessions integrating #policy and #scientific advances which opened some new lines of thinking for me 🤔. Now to go home and digest it all! @setac.bsky.social

Hello Vienna 👋 Excited for the first day of talks and posters at #SETACVienna We are presenting across the week on #contaminants in crops 🌾 honey 🍯 and manure 🐖 - come and find out more about ongoing work in our group @envleeds.bsky.social

I can't think of a better way to start your week than talking about #soils, #sewage sludge and emerging #contaminants - delighted to host Jo and Natasha from @fidrango.bsky.social at @envleeds.bsky.social and looking forward to continuing discussions on this topic 🌱🚜

Excited to share our ongoing research @envleeds.bsky.social ky.social at the first night of the Science Café, part of @otleyscience.bsky.social y.social! 🧪 ‘Radishes on Prozac’ sparked great discussions on chemical use, and having my mum there made it even more special! #publicengagement #family🌱

It has been a pleasure to be part of the panel for the #water@leeds Water Women Award @universityofleeds.bsky.social 💦 “We’re surrounded by inspirational colleagues, who deserve to be recognised and celebrated as role models.” water.leeds.ac.uk/news/water-w...

Interesting to see that #RHS will use compost created from human waste as a soil improver Use of 'humanure' has lots of benefits and any potential risks from residual chemicals will be minimised as the reuse loop is small & composting will take place www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Great opportunity to share preliminary findings from our @carersinstemm.bsky.social survey The seminar led onto really interesting discussions about current support available for carers v. what carers actually need to participate in meetings/conferences 🧪. Thanks to Nathan Mayne for hosting!

Good morning Cornwall. What a view to wake up to ⛵️🌊🐚

12 hours of travel today … enough time to edit 3 manuscripts, review 1 paper and comment on a thesis, right?! Chocolate 🍫 and caffeine ☕️at the ready!

Please help us by sharing available grants / travel funders that enable carers to travel and join meetings. Societies, conferences, institutes - all input welcome 🙏 We are compiling a list to make a resource on our carersinstemm.co.uk website

My 89 year old granny started cutting out and sending me newspaper articles when she saw something that mentioned soil or she thought was related to my research ✉️ 15 years later I’m still receiving post 😊❤️

Delighted to share PhD student Di Wu's paper - published now in J. Hazardous Materials. Our results highlight the gender-specific toxicity of polystyrene microplastics to zebrafish health - female zebrafish are more affected than males 🐟 Check it out here 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Really impressed by BlueSky so far, enjoying content from friends / colleagues / collaborators 😀 I would like to tap into wider #research networks - in particular in areas related to global challenges, #pollution, circular economy, #AMR. Suggestions for people to follow / starter packs welcome 🙏

Incredibly important study highlighting gendered bias in career trajectories within the academy @parsnipsparsons.bsky.social - we have to, as a sector, do better.

Hello BlueSky! If you’re interested in finding out about our research on the fate and effects of emerging #contaminants in the #environment at UoLeeds 💊or work as part of 1/3 of @carersinstemm.bsky.social to support those balancing #academic careers and caring responsibilities give me a follow 🙋‍♀️👋
