What a wonderful way to cap our #MIEGreenWeek, with a flag-raising ceremony! Delighted to receive our first Green Flag Award from Green Campus Ireland. Huge thanks to our guest of honour @doubleob.bsky.social for raising the flag!

A wonderful lunchtime walk through campus today for our #MIEGreenWeek Scéal Trail. Dr Claire Dunne regaled us with tales of fairy folk, wise women and warriors, inspired by our beautiful Irish landscape

Lots more to come on #MIEGreenWeek!

Beautiful display from our @MIElibrary team for #MIEGreenWeek

Thank you @geopaula.bsky.social! What a fab weekend we had. As always, I’ve come home inspired and encouraged, and full of new ideas to share with our students!

Really inspiring training day with the #ClimateAmbassador programme of @antaisce.bsky.social Can’t wait to get started as a Climate Ambassador in 2025!

Rachel Reeves holds newts in contempt, it seems. So I thought I'd post this glorious painting of a "lion of the duckweed" by Jackie Morris + my paean to these "kings of the pond", both from The Lost Words. Newt-lovers, unite!

A new lunar cycle starts today. As part of @NAEE_UK Year of #EnvironmentalLunacy Prof Justin Dillon explains why he’d call it a Squirrel Moon! What would you call it? What is happening in #nature where you are? Great purpose #fieldwork naee.org.uk/environmenta...

Fly Eagles, fly…

Bring a good book and it could be the perfect day

Ooh, a late Christmas gift…

My brother knows me too well 😍 #PressieTime Thanks @trevvie.bsky.social

Devastating! Just imagine - it’s 1965. You pose with your husband and daughters for a new Ladybird book: The Postman. Ladybird immortality beckons. But when the book is finally published ... you find you’ve been turned into ...

Preach. An excellent and essential essay from @patrickfreyne.bsky.social Thank you 👏👏👏

I increasingly think that tech companies, specifically, should be subject to a punitive carbon tax. If you want to build inaccurate plagiarism machines, fine, but you should be strongly discouraged from warming the planet as a result. No one *needs* this extra fossil fuel use

Would you look at the time. A quarter past five and not a dying of the light in the house raged against.

@neildelaney.bsky.social one for you…
