@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social unfortunately couldn’t make the National Emergency Briefing.
Would they consider having @mikebernerslee.bsky.social on #Leading?🙏
Mike chaired the NEB and sets out the threats - and the choices ahead - with exceptional clarity.

Clips from Professor @mikebernerslee.bsky.social's powerful opening & closing statements at the National Emergency Briefing.
"We are asking for a WW2 level of leadership. Leadership, as if the survival of our society depends on it... because it does."

The PeatPic Project: Predicting plot-scale green leaf #phenology across #peatlands
So happy to see this paper online — one of my favourite projects!
We explored how to capture how peatlands change colour using smartphones and community science!

And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
