‘Many protected landscapes owned by English water firms in disrepair, data shows’.

"Nothing demonstrates better the appalling environmental record of our polluting water companies than the fact that they are not even taking care of the highly protected areas that they actually own. It simply cannot be right that the payment of large dividends to shareholders and huge bonuses to bosses is prioritised before protecting SSSIs. This entire culture of polluting for profit must end”
Charles Watson, Chair River Action

I’m currently prepping my schedule for the #ASA and #SSSI annual meetings in Philadelphia.

If you’ll be there and would like to chat about sociology of health professions education, quantification & testing, or community-engaged mental health research, get in touch! (Grad students and postdocs, your coffee is on me!)

Just caught this - DroneAssist app now has SSSIs as "hazards" meaning any drone flier who uses a planning app, should now be aware of them.

I've only just started watching this channel Geeksvana to keep up with drone news, and they're having a livestream about it this evening
