Good to see my rantings about peat in the @washingtonpost! And great the work of peatland scientists & managers is highlighted. As I say in the article: "Serious about climate change? Get serious about peat." Peatlands are #naturessuperheroes! washingtonpost.com/world/2021/11/…
Great to finally be at #COP26 for @BangorUni!
Into the blue (zone) at #COP26
Was great to talk at the Chester #COP26 event at @ChesterCath! Great day with loads of interesting folk! (Though it does look suspiciously like @ChesterSTrees, Emma Preston, @richardbeacham & @ChrisM4Chester are holding their heads in despair at what I'm saying here...!)
Brace yourselves for excuses from MPs that they couldn’t vote to hold water companies to account on raw sewage pollution as ‘costs would be passed on to bill payers’. Bear in mind the industry makes billions in profits annually & often avoids paying taxes. #EndSewagePollution
Our research on drugs in the river at Glastonbury has really hit the headlines today. Two of my favourite part of this project were: 1) working with the excellent @COESEpostgrads Masters student, @aberg_dan 2) getting permission from @BangorUni to get cocaine samples...

We can't wait to carry out futher research on this topic, with the help of budding researchers and many early career researchers. Happy to be carrying out scientific research that people are interested in and get the public talking about emerging environmental issues.

Our staff are dedicated to the research they produce, and supporting the researchers that produce it. Public interest in our research is always welcome, and raising the public's awareness to freshwater pollution is one of our primary goals.

✨I’m an author on a paper for the first time! ✨ Ahead of #COP26 we reviewed how #plasticpollution and #climatechange are connected. Wonderful to be lead by @helen_ford and work with all the other great coauthors. 🧐 Read it here, open access: tinyurl.com/tcf47a5s

Dangerous levels of drugs found in Glastonbury Festival river bbc.in/2XXBcjG
During the festival, levels of MDMA and cocaine in the water were so high they could affect rare populations of eels further downstream trib.al/L06vrxF
Cocaine and cocaine metabolites in sufficiently large concentrations in water prevent Eels from maturing past puberty and reproducing, so in the case of Glastonbury, the eels are not good.

Scientists have warned there are "dangerous" levels of MDMA and cocaine in the Whitelake River in Somerset. Public urination at @glastonbury is believed to be the main cause of the issue 👇 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

More coverage of the research carried out by the team here at Bangor. Very proud of the entire team but especially @aberg_dan and @christiandunn who have worked hard on the paper for several years now.

Several years of hard work, many road trips, many samples taken and many rounds of peer review. It's finally here! @aberg_dan work published at long last. We are extremely proud of this research and happy it's gaining traction.
