🌱 ✊ The David Attenborough Building, another hidden gem in #Cambridge. The living wall is a great example of biophilic design: increasing occupant connectivity to the natural environment. Check it out if you’re in the area - it has a great cafe (and a living roof!).

🌐 ✈️ Why I am not at #COP28 … Firstly, I am not presenting or involved in any meetings. Secondly, the event is live streamed for free so I can ‘attend’ remotely - thus avoiding the c.2 tonnes of carbon it would take for me to move myself from Cambridge to Dubai and back

👨‍🔬 I am experimenting with AI and VR to better translate and visualise climate data. In this short video clip, you can see methane (CH4) at the atomic level. In my virtual classrooms, students can ‘shrink’ to look up at the atoms; they can write on each one; they can pick up

🌱 Yet another reason animal agriculture is indefensible: the vast amount of land required. “If we move towards a plant-based diet we could produce enough to feed us with a quarter of the land” -Sir David Attenborough (Planet Earth III) Bonus facts: Researchers at Oxford

🍽️ Ever been to a #vegan formal at Cambridge? 💚 Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge student Lydia co-organised one in Homerton College's New Dining Hall, complete with a three-course meal, recycled decorations and even a cut-out of conservation hero Sir David Attenborough.

📢 GREAT NEWS! For those who aren’t aware, I have built a FREE platform that helps people combat the fear of #publicspeaking (by training in front of photorealistic #virtualreality audiences). On a gamified journey, the #VR audiences increase as tasks are completed. The result
