They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Looks like the science community has found a home. academic.oup.com/icb/article-...

What excellent timing! I came across this new vegan steak in Aldi today. I look forward to eating it!

“Yes, let's make things more efficient if we can [..]. But it must not be used as a smoke screen for not shifting to more plant-based diets”, Dr @emmagarnett.bsky.social said. “The most effective way to reduce methane from cows is to farm fewer cows." 💯 news.sky.com/story/the-gr...

My new paper on how to increase sustainable food consumption is continuing to gather positive media attention 🙌 Link to paper: www.frontiersin.org/journals/sus... #sustainablefood #sustainability #vegan #greennudge

Will cows burping a bit less methane help fight climate change? My answer: not really. The most effective way to reduce methane from cows is to farm fewer cows. Cows aren't able to fight climate change. We are: by going (mostly) plant-based. @skynewsrss.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/HU8Nt...

"if you produce many tonnes of chicken manure and then sell it on to be used as fertiliser, some would argue – as others have argued against big oil – that you have a responsibility to reduce the effects that come later on.”." theconversation.com/the-pollutio...

I really enjoyed presenting to the Civil Service Climate& Environment Network with @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social today on food systems transformations to plant-rich diets (with small/no amounts of meat and dairy). The feedback was lovely too!

This looks like an excellent conference! Urban Transitions 10-12 November 2026 | Sitges, Spain Submit abstracts by 8 May 2026 Integrating housing, urban and transport planning, environment, climate action, circular economy and health for healthier urban living www.elsevier.com/events/confe...

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

This was a brilliant talk from Dr Kevin Hall on weight changes, calories and how that all interacts with Ultra-processed foods. Highly recommend watching it. I even bought his book (despite my usual rule about not buying hardbacks). www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/videos/the-c...

piss off the racists, make the English kofte kebab from 1660

BREAKING: Jane Goodall has died. She was my college graduation speaker and an idol of mine. What a hero. I’m heartbroken to learn of her passing. Her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees changed science forever, and her tireless advocacy inspired millions to protect our natural world. RIP 🥺

WHEEWWWWWWWWWW: "When we use generative AI, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers . . . We agree that we would rather deplete our natural resources than make our own art or think our own thoughts." www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...

Is it too obvious to point out how gendered this is: that the right sees themselves as a collective husband or father, trying to enforce his right to the attention, care, and comfort provided by his wife and mother—that is, American liberals?

What counts as essential travel? How does this differ across people? What level of mobility can be sustained within planetary boundaries? These researchers get closer to answering those questions than most. Wish this kind of thinking was more central to climate & transport policy making in the UK.

Big night in Cambridge for decarbonisation. 3 heat pumps together weighing 20t were lifted by a giant crane onto the roof of the Murray Easton Building at @caiuscollege.bsky.social @cam.ac.uk. Hope Oxford forgives me for promoting the other place but I'm also affiliated with @cisl.cam.ac.uk...

His Dark Materials trilogy are some of my favourite books, but I had very mixed feelings about The Secret Commonwealth. Nonetheless, can't wait to read this!

@petescarbs.bsky.social and @elisabecker.bsky.social - another great example of using monopoly boards in presentations!

There are hundreds of reasons to decry the impact of social media on journalism, but something that's really been irking me lately is what I call (in my head) influencer solutionism -- the idea that there is no benefit to documenting or revealing a problem unless you also have the solution ready...🧵

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

I had such a great time at my first #EHPS conference presenting my final PhD study, a pilot RCT of a health and wellbeing app to promote sustainable diets 📱🌱 Looking forward to keeping in touch with the brilliant people I met - I'll be back! 🌍💡 @ehps.bsky.social @ehps2025.bsky.social #EHPS2025

You see, I get frustrated by those who imply Palestinians can't be trusted to relay their experiences reliably online. Because I knew the information in this article before I read it, having been told about it by people in Gaza. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/how-...

A really thorough post publication peer review!

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

"A license to eat meat" together with Matthew B. Ruby and @sproesser.bsky.social is now published! We explored how animal-related labels influence meat selection, and which psychological processes might explain those effects. You can read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ap...

There is so much sky here.

Really enjoying the ebike session at #EHPS2025 Key lessons - Ebike users are even more pro active transport than regular bike users - You can reach moderate/vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on an ebike. @annabarrero.bsky.social @ehps2025.bsky.social

This is absolutely horrific. All the content warning for suicide and self harm. Here's the NYT article referrenced: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

New data paper out: Ammonia doesn't often make the headlines – but it’s one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss and air pollution in Europe, harming ecosystems and our health. > 90% of it in Europe comes from one source: agricultural fertiliser and manure 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The #EHPS2025 conference schedule is making me choose between ebikes and legumes. This is cruel! @ehps2025.bsky.social

It's #EHPS2025 Day 2! I will be contributing to a roundtable on science communication #scicomm starting at 11:30, and @alearuf.bsky.social will present results from our latest measurement reactivity analysis later this afternoon.

"Oxford’s homicide rate was three to four times higher than that of London or York. The medieval university attracted young men aged 14-21, many living far from home, armed and steeped in a culture of honour [] quarrels between northerners and southerners regularly erupted into street battles."

A 5 minute walk away from my hotel and I can hire this lovely bike for 4 days for 39 euros to get around Groningen. And I can join the conference organised bike tour! The cycle to the venue was a dream - the infrastructure is so intuitive - even when you're in a hurry and running late!

Delighted that #EHPS2025 conference has a sustainable travel award (100 euros each) for those who've travelled furthest to be here without flying. This needs normalising across academia. We have a huge blind spot when it comes to flying. Congratulations to this year's winners!

Arguing people should stay on Twitter is like arguing that "people should join the Republican Party in order to redirect it to less extreme terrain".

I've arrived in Groningen (Netherlands) for the European Health Psychology Society conference and I am fan-girling so much at the transport infrastructure. Health psychology in action here! Build it and they will bike. @ehps2025.bsky.social #EHPS2025

On the Eurostar on my way to Gronignen for #EHPS2025 conference. See you there! @ehps2025.bsky.social @ehps.bsky.social

Suitcase packed, digital devices charged, train on time - here we go, @ehps2025.bsky.social ! 🤝 Please reach out If you want to chat - I love making new connections! 📅 Extra excitement since I was this year's Scientific Committee co-chair. I hope you enjoy the programme! 🧵(1/3) #EHPS2025 #HPGVienna

It is so so SO refreshing to hear a UK farmer say simply we need to eat less meat. This whole interview with Guy Watson-Singh is excellent. I also completely agree we need to spend more on food and much much less on rent. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

This is really significant. I've been frustrated that we have to guess how much power and water AI consumes, because these tech companies won't say (even though they know). This is the most transparent estimate from one of these companies so far. I hope others will follow suit.

I wrote about this in @theconversation.com, in which I also mention work by the Net Zero partnership between ‪@ipsosintheuk.bsky.social and @cast-centre.bsky.social, and the ‪@climatebarometer.bsky.social‬ tracker. Read about it here: theconversation.com/why-some-cli...

After 3 desk rejects and 2 major rewrites (with a 17-page rebuttal (!), and cutting word count by 25%), I am pleased that my paper on policy appraisals and second-order beliefs in climate policy has found a home in @climate-policy.bsky.social: (1/) @cast-centre.bsky.social doi.org/10.1080/1469...

Nothing says climate policy like skipping brunch and hoping the sky notices.

I scrolled past this then finally watched the video. Watch the video. 💚 Samuel L Jackson
