Looking for recommendations of where to go for commemorative #rowing blade painting... Does anyone know of someone who does this in #Oxford?

Slightly surreal ending up on a panel with the CEOs of 3 development banks at @COP27P. But I got to suggest they should align their portfolios with #naturepositive as well as #NetZero. Finance can change the world with the standards they set 💰🌿
In the second panel of #COP27, @KatBruce2 (@NatureMetrics), #StefanWintels (KfW), #AmbroiseFayolle (@EIB) and #PatrickDlamini (@DBSAlliance) talked about the topic:
"Environment and social #sustainability: Why good standards are essential for effective climate action".💡

Thanks @HarvestFlo - that was such an exciting event to present at! Look forward to learning more about your work and discussing where we can help
Blown away by @KatBruce2 of @NatureMetrics presentation at @wclimate World #Biodiversity Summit re humanity missing 80% decline in #insects & ability to measure biodiversity via #eDNA in #water & #soil. I hope @Sust_Harv_Intl can use this to see changes on #agroecology farms.
So awesome to have (almost!) our whole team together today - including our Canadian colleagues. Blown away by the wealth of talent & experience that now sits in @NatureMetrics & so excited for what we can do together for #biodiversity!
Yep! I'll vote for that! #greengrowth @UKLabour
Starmer thinks a "green growth plan" is the answer to Truss's tax cuts.
"Yes!! I'll vote for that!" said nobody ever.

Six (wo)men in a boat: What made this team work so well?

Today’s the day!! 34 days after setting off from #TowerBridge we arrive back at 3pm having circumnavigated Great Britain in this wonderful little boat collecting environmental data for @portsmouthuni @NatureMetrics @GBrowChallenge
#oceanrowing #eDNA #microplastics #hydroacoustics
Blown away by the #wildlife we’ve encountered on this row. The British coast really is an incredibly special place that deserves love, care and protection

I’m rowing around the UK collecting #eDNA samples & weather means we’ll be taking safe harbour in #Wick (N Scotland) for a couple of days from tomorrow… anyone in the area interested to see our boat & learn about the science we’re doing with @portsmouthuni @GBrowChallenge?
We set off tomorrow!! 2000 miles around the British coastline in a tiny rowing boat. Wish us luck and follow our progress at gbrowchallenge.com/tracker

If you can, please sponsor us. We're raising money for an awesome youth development programme that teaches life skills through sport. londonyouthrowing.enthuse.co…
I'd never have started @NatureMetrics if it weren't for the skills I learned through rowing

If only it were satire... 🤦♀️
Quite a sight in Parliament. Nadine Dorries is hysterical and attacking colleagues. Jacob Rees-Mogg is trying to calm her down and has poured her a whisky in the tea room repeating the words “Que Sera, Sera.” I’m in the corner with a glass of champagne trying not to laugh.
Work trips with @NatureMetrics colleagues (& honorary associates) are the best. A privilege to work with such brilliant people on important and exciting topics
#worktrip #Paris @Mike_Morris_Bio #biodiversity #nature #eDNA
#biodiversity is complex - we have to acknowledge and embrace that rather than bypassing it if we want meaningful metrics and a genuinely #natureposituve future. A privilege to give a keynote on this epic stage at @ChangeNOW_world
