What do you think of this #SDGmodel? Based on #IPBES #NaturesContributions to people, it shows how nature provides direct benefits to people through economies, which then support indirect benefits around social welfare and good quality of life #SDG @SustDev

When giving feedback remember the difference between the thesis and the person. You think you are commenting on the thesis but the person takes it ... personally. And some people may not be in a good place emotionally as they read it. #PhDSupervisors #AcademicChatter

"All we are saying, is give weeds a chance!" "Weeds" get a bad press but they can be nectar and pollen sources for #bees #butterflies and other #pollinators So put away the #glyphosate & other #herbicides & learn to live with them. RT if you think we should #GiveWeedsAChance

Here's some more detail on what the summer school actually entailed. As someone involved in trying to tech theory/practice of philanthropy today, I found this absolutely fascinating!
This is horrendous. What future for environmental (or any other) protest in the UK under this new policing bill? Protest is an absolutely crucial element of the political process. Thanks @GeorgeMonbiot for shining a light on this. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Are some donations “tainted”? If so, why? Should charities reject them, or is it possible to “do good with bad money”? These are questions that have come up a lot lately, so I thought it was time to pull together some relevant historical nuggets into a THREAD!
