Woke up nice and early for a productive PhD morn. Instead, spent it destroying the bathroom cabinets in my new house because this young starling fledgling was trapped! Carpe diem, little dude!

It's #WorldHealthDay Since 2000, maternal deaths globally declined by 40%! 💙 BUT—progress is slowing, and aid funding cuts mean major threats to lifesaving maternity services in many parts of the world. ❌

Access alone is not enough; people need high-quality care.

Fewer women are dying in childbirth as access to health care has increased.

Maternity service coverage has increased.

Access to health care saves lives. Pregnancy can be a dangerous time in a woman's life.

Zambia has experienced bad recent droughts: our new paper @mrozelizabeth.bsky.social shows future climate will change annual Barotse flooding. Reds = decreasing flood duration and, well, there are no blues. Impacts already seen with Kuomboka ceremony shifting later/cancelled tinyurl.com/yc5u48ej

Flood duration changes on the Barotwse floodplain. REds = decreasing duration. There are no blue areas of increasing duration

Took the train today rather than drive so that I could work. Rewarded by @tpexpress.bsky.social with a free book for World Book Day! Nice!

After all the years of bullshitting us about their green plans, even turning their logo into a flower, BP turns out to be as crap as we always suspected. And BP shareholders, equally crap. Yes, equally crap.

bbc.com

BP to slash renewables investment and ramp up gas and oil production.

The energy giant will announce its strategy later after rivals also rowed back on green energy plans.

Forgot how much I hate managing terabytes of raster data outputs from modelling codes that weren't optimised for data storage...
