Participated at a climate change workshop at Oxford’s School of Engineering yesterday. Unexpected but welcome chance to see and hear about this year’s Formula Student car being built for Silverstone. This year the car is 100% battery powered.

The “Major Oak” in Sherwood Forest. It’s at least 800 and possibly 1200 years old. A nice autumnal day for a visit.

Had the chance to see a bit of Budapest last week. The visit was linked to a forthcoming exhibition on the Museum of Ethnography’s Africa collection which I’m very excited to be involved with. More to follow.

Unexpected collision of climate change, culture & heritage. Bakewell tart, invented in the 1800s & quintessentially British. Bakers report disruption to almond supply & unstable prices. Extreme heat & declining water in California (= 80% of the global harvest)
