Microsoft's planning to build 3 massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Recommended watch: A 30-minute YouTube video from the Met Office had climate scientists explaining how current UK temperatures compare to the infamous 1976 heatwave, and how extremes could worsen by 2056.

Over 1000 extra deaths over a 10 day period in France due to the heatwave. Tell me again how this is just summer? Climate change is real. Climate change is deadly. www.lemonde.fr/en/health/ar...

The Warming Stripes depicting temperature change over the last 100 years from Prof Ed Hawkins. How can you NOT see a pattern here?

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

Lived experience researchers really added to the quality of our data. Its great to see @elliewildbore.bsky.social getting to showcase it at the #BIGSPD26 conference #academicsky

Thanks to the @hsruk.bsky.social team for the invitation to reflection on how research conversations evolve through - and between - conferences!

The right staff in the right place is necessary for a functioning NHS. The workforce is its biggest asset, and biggest risk

Puppy day, as if I need an excuse to post pictures of thus gorgeous girl. She was so cute as a pup. #dogsky #nationalpuppyday Post contains two photographs of a 3 month old german shepherd puppy

Beautiful spring morning to relax and listen to the birdsong. #dogsky

The autistic spectrum isn't linear from high to low (or from neurotypical to neurodivergent - no we NOT all on the spectrum) - its a range of characteristics manifesting in different ways

An honour on #internationalwomensday to find I am on the #NHSA s list of women innovators #northinnovationwomen Northern Health Science Alliance

Why does autistic diagnosis matter?

Our brand new podcast, Folklore Matters, launches today. David Clarke, Sophie Parkes-Nield, and Diane Rodgers speak to people working with or researching folklore to find out more about their work, how they discovered folklore, and to get their thoughts on the findings of the Survey.

1) This is why I think we are all doomed. I started this petition demanding electricity from renewables (over 50% of all electricity now in the UK) be detached from the much more expensive cost of wholesale gas. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Are we really doing this again? NO to ID #no2ID #IDcards petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Lovely morning at the zoo. I never get tired of these little guys #redpanda #animals #cute #ywp #yorkshirewildlifepark

This is great news for UK wildlife, and human life. Stopping burning will improve our air and reduce flooding. www.gov.uk/government/n...

The fact that even needs to be 'demanded' is ridiculous. How does the UK Government think they can develop a workable workforce plan without talking to the workforce? #nursing #rcn #workforce #wesstreeting @rcn.org.uk www.nursinginpractice.com/latest-news/...

I'm really excited about our new paper. We highlight the need to focus on organisational issues when trying to improve retention in mental health settings. #academicsky #nhs #workforceresearch #nurse #nursingresearch #mentalhealth @healthfoundation.bsky.social bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/8...

My feed is mostly long COVID people, autism people, and Americans talking about ICE. Everyone is talking about masking but with radically different meanings. If I scroll without paying attention it is very confusing.

It’s 18 years ago today that the attack took place in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, that took Sophie’s life 13 days later. We send love to Sophie’s family and friends and all that love her. Sophie is not just a figurehead or a banner we march behind; she was a person who should be here with us today.
