Reading about Socrates, apparently he was horrific to look at and was still having kids in his 60s. Unbelievable game. Imagine you're at the bar and a man who looks like a beluga whale hits you with "The only thing I know is I know nothing" and you're just powerless to resist

I give about 90% of my talks virtually and only travel when I can bundle enough events to make the time and the carbon worthwhile (25 events in 3 days at NY Climate Week last week 😅). It is exhausting, no lie. But sadly we live in a world where doing things right is harder than not. More here ...

Combination of cuts to teaching grants, phasing out of maintenance grants and increases in student loan repayments mean that undergraduates in England will now pay 50% more for a university degree than students in 2012, and will carry 80% of the cost of their education.

The university announced that Anant Ambani had been given a professorship of practice for “his work in conservation, biodiversity protection, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship” and “significant contributions to advancing a more sustainable future”.

Monet's water lily garden in Giverny is an ever-changing and ever-renewing source of inspiration for me. In this painting, I wanted to capture the feeling of water lilies floating on the surface of a still pond, filled with reflections of the clouds. I applied thick brushstrokes of oil paint laid side by side without layering to capture the sense of movement and texture in the scene.
