Thanks @moritzfritschle.bsky.social. It was a real privilege to be invited to deliver the first of the #EAAE2025 #EAAE 2025 keynotes. I got to bring together two of my favourite topics, #foodsecurity and #sciencefiction. Bonus was to meet up with former @uniofreading.bsky.social colleagues.

Many trains (& a few buses & boats later), heading home from excellent @eaere.bsky.social 2025 Bergen conference via @efdinitiative.bsky.social at @gothenburg-econ.bsky.social. Now (somewhere on train in Germany) I read that @eurostarnews.bsky.social cable theft might leave me stuck in Brussels!

Yesterday @gsos-lse.bsky.social and @granthamlse.bsky.social hosted a roundtable on Protecting Worker Health and Income in a Warming World. We are co-creating with roundtable participants some concrete recommendations and next steps to spur action to protect workers. Will share when completed.

Heading back from #ISIMIP meeting in Potsdam. Another excuse to post photos from window of #trainnotplane if you can. @eurostarjustin.bsky.social, maybe one day I'll be on your train!

First time visiting Berlin (via #ISIMIP meetings in Potsdam).
Able to plan early enough that #trainnotplane (if you can) is pretty competitive with flying. Quite a few train connections, almost didn't make the final one, but so far so good. As always, wifi patchy in the UK, better on continent ...

We highlighted just how vulnerable gig workers are, often during heatwaves having to choose between protecting their health and protecting their income.

I am trying to reduce my flying to one work trip per year (made much easier by Europe's train network). In Asia just now, & saved time, money & CO2 taking the overnight train Beijing to Hong Kong with @aliceleibian.bsky.social @granthamlse.bsky.social. Love a night train! #trainnotplane if you can.
