Although this incident happened in 2018, I only learned about it in a recent issue of the TLS.

If the case is fully and accurately reported, it represents an absurd and repressive abuse of authority by a university which, alas, can only fuel the hostility towards higher education currently stoked by Reform and others on the right.

I thought I recognised this guy's photo and realised I'd seen him protesting at the #UniversityOfExeter for which he was sentenced to six weeks in prison

I'm still not sure of the effectiveness of these tactics in tackling climate change, but I'm beginning to suspect giving people with a lot of educational and social capital prison experience may end up doing a surprising amount for prison reform

Just emailed my employer @uniofexeter to ask if there were any plans to join the other UK Universities that have already left X/Twitter. It's a tiny action but better than nothing #UniversityOfExeter

The UK's #NetZero strategy involves flat-rate per-area payments to convert agricultural land to woodland regardless of the suitability of the land for #TreePlanting.

A #UniversityofExeter study shows this is not only ineffective but could increase net emissions by incentivising subsidy uptake from lower productivity farms, frequently located on carbon rich soils where tree growth is poor & where drying soil could result in CO2 emission not sequestration.

I got to have another look around the #UniversityofExeter's #hydroponic greenhouse today - these are the herb plants (basil, coriander and parsley mostly). They focus on high value crops for fancy graduation dinners and the like, like herbs, edible flowers, salads and heritage tomatoes because it wouldn't be cost efficient (in terms of staff time rather than materials) to do bulk crops like potatoes. Link in earlier post

Plastic tubes stacked like shelves on racks in the greenhouse, with an individual herb plant growing in evenly spaced cutouts in each. Curved pipes connect the tubes, clearly handmade because they're wrapped in Duck tape to maintain the shape. Behind the racks of shelving, not particularly clearly visible, is the reservoir tank and the pump that pumps nutrient-enriched water to the top tube from which it cascades down

Glad to see the weather is so pleasant to welcome students (back) to #UniversityOfExeter! Just hope they don’t get too used it - it’s been some combination of torrentially raining and near freezing in the last week alone. Best make the most of the sunny #FreshersWeek I guess. 😎

I got a chance to have a nosy round the #UniversityofExeter's #hydroponic greenhouse yesterday, that grows some food served on campus. Very cool!

Thank you, Ruth.
I will read it.

From all I have been reading, my aggregate "gut feeling" is that we still underestimate the rate of #ClimateChange, as well as the interconnectedness of #TriggerPoints:

“Triggering one tipping point 👉could trigger another in a kind of dangerous domino effect👈,” says #TimLenton at the #UniversityOfExeter in the #UK, the report’s lead author.
“But also 👉these tipping points in the Earth...
