Bought this a few weeks ago as a treat for a work related thing. But also to make my breakfast look cuter 😅

Continuing the tradition of “go to the natural history museum on holiday” 😀 Special visit to @naturalis.bsky.social: I first heard about Naturalis in my early days volunteering @nhm-london.bsky.social -there were Naturalis folk in the project I was volunteering with. I’ve wanted to go ever since!

So I got given this kanga when I visited Zanzibar a few years ago as a trip gift and I never noticed it had a ship printed on it 😱 Took it out as I wanted a picture of some fabric with personal meaning 🙂

Part of a yellow and navy kanga from Zanzibar. Half a ship is shown and there are two anchors. The edge has large navy leaves.
“Kila muomba salama” is also a phrase in view.

Came to a park near home to watch the eclipse and a family gave me a spare pair of glasses! 😍 Random science acts of kindness are the best!

A thought that has crossed my mind a lot this week at #EGU26 is how I would love to see a conference session that has a mix of inclusion focused talks with the research talks. So often EDI talks have their own sessions. What if we blended the program? Would the reach and impact be bigger?

Okay friends, who can help me please? I'm looking for examples of projects or publications that describe using creative approaches to undertaking participatory research in natural spaces. I don't mean scientific observations of nature, I mean engaging with nature to elicit other conversation/ideas.

Folks who go to (academic) conferences more than I do: What do you do with free items that you get or that you pick up at exhibitor booths? Do you consider sustainability/what you will do with the item when you no longer need it in your choice of whether to pick something up or not?

Latest news digest, Feb 2026 includes: EDI in Energy Research event, webinar insights on UK energy‑sector EDI interventions, new publications, a call to join the IGNITE Champions Network, and community updates. Explore ➡️ tinyurl.com/msm2n7ad #EDI #DiversityInEnergy #Equity #Diversity #Inclusion

A large conference room with high ceilings and purple accent lighting is filled with attendees seated at round tables during the “EDI in Energy Research: From Theory to Practice” event. Everyone is facing a presenter at the front of the room. Two large projection screens display the same slide with text and graphics. The presenter sits at a table with a microphone, while attendees take notes on laptops and paper. The room features tall arched windows, wooden floors, and a ceiling‑mounted projector.

Infographic titled “UK Energy Sector EDI Interventions: A Scoping Survey,” branded with the IGNITE Network+ and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council logos. The infographic summarizes current Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) practices, challenges, and opportunities in the UK energy workforce. It reports that 180 respondents participated, with demographic details shown. A section titled “Voices from the Sector” includes short quotes about EDI being treated as optional, valued but inconsistent, or reduced when budgets tighten. The “State of EDI” section shows statistics including 68% reporting that leadership treats EDI strategies as important, 61% saying the same for policies and guidance, 41% regularly reviewing data, and 23% having fully staffed EDI functions. A circular chart highlights priority dimensions of diversity, mainly gender and ethnicity. “Enablers of Effective EDI Interventions” lists leadership commitment, co‑designed engagement, adequate resourcing, and data‑driven feedback. A bar chart in the “Barriers to Progress” section shows leadership buy‑in and resourcing as the biggest obstacles. “Future Direction/Key Takeaways” highlights four themes: embedding EDI strategically; resourcing and leadership; intersectional and collaborative practice; and improving data without over‑surveying. A small illustration at the bottom shows a person unlocking a door, representing future progress.

A project summary report cover titled “Navigating EDI Complexity: Addressing Challenges in Energy Research Sector,” branded with the UKRI EPSRC and IGNITE Network+ logos. The title sits on a purple banner over a background of interlocking puzzle pieces. Below, the report lists the principal investigator and co‑investigators from Cranfield University. The opening of the executive summary is shown, explaining that the project examines gaps between EDI commitments and implementation in the energy sector using mixed‑methods research.

So someone more senior to me told me the more senior you get, the less time you are afforded to settle into a role. I’m not sure this matches what anyone has told me in the past as it always a process to settle into a role. For people more senior than I am - is this actually true? 😵‍💫
