It is really cool that @Feargal_Sharkey dropped by our Confluence for Change multimedia exhibition on water quality in Yorkshire. Sadly I was at a meeting in London but it's nice that @WillJTempleton got to meet him. The exhibition runs daily until the 12th.

I had a fantastic end to the year running the ECOWILD CDT residential at Slimbridge. During the event, the students presented their PhD work, explored connections across projects and practiced science communication. Thanks to @WWTworldwide for hosting us.
