Technology advances mean some scientists rarely leave the lab and have stopped doing field work. A feature in Nature reports how ecologists fear this loss could lead to error, bias and oversimplification of results. #Academicsky 🧪
‘I rarely get outside’: scientists ditch fieldwork in the age of AI
In the race to embrace new technologies, some ecologists fear their field is losing touch with nature.

Glad to see our research in the Daily Mail in a really thoughtful and well researched piece from Elizabeth Haigh.

😮 A sobering statistic for Road Safety Week... In the UK, SUVs are three times more likely to kill a child under the age of 10 and heavier cars are more likely to be involved in fatal collisions.

Rolling back clean energy policies to “save” European industry will backfire. It may seem attractive in the short term, but it’s poor industrial policy in the long run.

Standing still on climate policy undermines competitiveness. Industry needs stability and long-term direction, not uncertainty.

I moved some errant voi scooters and a lime bike (with a terrible puncture) from blocking the pavement by Warneford Lane roundabout.

People! Don't block pavements with stuff you've hired!
Able-bodied people passing! Do move them if you are able.
