Exhibition tour begins on how we (@sussexsrp.bsky.social @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social + friends) opened a clinic for forest peoples, improving community health & enabling #conservation of 150 km² of biodiverse #rainforest (storing 1.5M tonnes of carbon). Photos @drjastockdale.bsky.social, story by me.
Exhibition poster: SURFACES: Integrating medicine, conservation, and climate action in Papua New Guinea’s threatened rainforests — a joint exhibition with photographs Dr Jessica Stockdale and story by Dr Jo Middleton. 5 – 17 July 2025, Depot, Lewes, East Sussex.

The verdant tropical rainforest of New Guinea is the third largest remaining on the planet. It is home to myriad unique species, and diverse human cultures speaking 800+ languages. However, these forests are being stripped away by multinational logging companies, and their populations face significant daily health challenges.

SURFACES is a free exhibition using photography, narrative, and video to tell the story of successful action in response to these crises. As part of an indigenous-led conservation alliance researchers have established medical services for forest peoples, funded by the UK Darwin Initiative and Sussex Sustainability Research Programme. This has improved community health, and enabled protection of 150 km² of biodiverse rainforest, storing 1.5 million tonnes of carbon.

This showing of SURFACES is being hosted by Depot, a charity-run cinema, restaurant, and bar in Lewes (East Sussex, UK), as part of its annual Climate Action Festival. If your not from the area, why not make a day of it and see the many historic sights of Lewes, recently ranked by The Telegraph as Britain’s prettiest town. Depot is next to Lewes train station (1 hr 2 mins direct train from London Victoria, travel directions). 

Everyone is welcome, and please spread the word!

Given discussions at I had at #ESCMIDGlobal, it might be useful for new researchers to know how a journal editor screens submissions (obviously this is my approach and so it might differ for others).

Caught Covid for the second time this year from my nephew, so as a treat I thought I’d relax and read about petty departmental politics in academia.

Laid up in bed with Covid for the last few days and finally decided to give up on the idea of work to reread the Crying of Lot 49. It’s been so long that I’d forgotten I bought this book when I was 14 when I used to write out the definitions of words in the margin. 😭

Still haven’t quite learned how to stop myself in the last session of any course I teach from blurting out “good luck with the future”. Students must think I’m a terribly sentimental sop.

Once again asking the #PhilSky hive mind: roughly how long does it take you to mark a 1,500 word essay and how much feedback do you give?

How long should a covering letter be when applying to an entry level lecturer position (with research and teaching responsibilities)? I’ve written about 1,500 words and I’m beginning to think that’s too long.

Love this idea, I am: (1) finishing work looking at the utility and value of #PhilSci to #BiodiversityConservation and its links to healthcare. (2) and, as a little treat, occasionally thinking about the expression of #Libertarian ideals in mid 20c #Photography. #PhilSky #EnvironmentalHumanities
