I like this letter from Prof Peter Edwards in today’s Times. It’s very easy to let ambition suck you into an idea that there is only one career path worth taking - or worse, that if you don’t race along it you’re falling behind or failing. There is more to life.

Revising one of my thesis chapters outside in sunny West Wales! 🌞 This is one part of the homestead with no vegetable beds - my brother has made a den, hammock area, fire pit, & seating. 🐑🐏

1. In addition to an overarching research aim, my work was driven by a strong impact goal. This included specific and realistic outcomes or results that I could achieve in practice. To do this, I considered who was interested in my research and how they could benefit from it.

A misty afternoon walk at Cors Caron nature reserve - three raised bogs of deep peat which have built up over 12,000 years! The bogs are surrounded by complex and unique habitats, which make it a fantastic place for wildlife 🦉🐸🦦🐛🪲 #PeatFree #Nature #Sustainability

Really enjoyed running a session on #participatory #governance in the @NatureBasedSols Global Challenges Foundation Course today! Some brilliant reflections on what 'engagement' means, who is included/excluded, institutionalising strategies, & involving #nature as a participant.
