“That is the river telling us that it's not having this constrained situation anymore, and it's going to try to create a more meandering course” Connecting Limbs is an amibitious project to enhance 800m of the River Sheaf, using techniques that mimic those found in nature. ✍️ @sammgreg.bsky.social

Connecting Limbs: In the race to restore Sheffield's hidden rivers, can natural and industrial heritage coexist?
As a new project gets underway to transform Sheffield’s most “unnatural” river, we hear how the Sheaf can go from just-about-surviving to thriving.

Dr Joanna Clare Dobson - “The River Don has a right to thrive in its own right, because it's alive and it's something we should deeply respect”
As part of our Right to Thrive series on the future rights of nature, we speak to a Sheffield-based researcher who explores the relationship between trauma and the living world.

What does the River Don mean to the people of Sheffield?
Four people who live and work alongside the Don explore their relationship to the river and how it could be better cared for, as well as the positive and negative impacts it has on their lives.

We were thrilled to be invited to the @sheffielduni.bsky.social School of Law’s first-ever ‘Tech Play Day’ with @weareopus.bsky.social last week! Engaging with students about technology in an interactive way was a fantastic experience. #UniversityOfSheffield #InteractiveTech
A picture of students attending a technology exhibition. The picture displays two law students, one wearing a yellow hoodie and another wearing a grey hoodie talking to members of staff from Hive IT at their exhibition table. On the table is laptops, post-it notes and pens. The image is a picture of Effy our user researcher wearing a green Hive IT hoodie, in deep conversation with a student from the university. Next to her is Alban wearing a black top, also in deep conversation with another student. There is also a pink advertisement sign next to Alban which says, 'Hive IT' and on the white wall behind them there is a projected image of a mobile app. This image shows a room full of students and technology exhibitors, deep in conversation during the tech play date.
