It was a such privilege to have been involved in delivering this PhD School. I was blown away by the students' willingness to be present and open to others participating in the School, and by their passion and dedication to their research. Heartfelt thanks to all who joined & supported us.

Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

One of the key thinking behind our project, In All Our Footsteps www.allourfootsteps.uk, has been that the experience of paths is different according to whether you are solo rather than in a group as well as gender, ability etc. This news story is a depressing reminder of that 😞
