Doing science outreach through creative writing isn't always as straightforward as it sounds. We're adjusting our plans for the #Fieldwork sitcom project because of changes in TV commissioning – it's getting harder to get comedy commissioned: wordcounting.substack.com/p/…

My piece on fieldwork for @The_GA in @guardian - a useful follow up to the discussions at #GAConf24 & @GAFOLSIG
This is a vital issue for #geographyteachers & their pupils. See below
Getting back into Fieldwork by sprinkling a little improv over the project. It can be a bit challenging to switch gears from event organisation to creative writing, so I'm hoping that the immediacy and spontaneity of improv will help!

Now that Ada Lovelace Day is over for another year, I can turn my attention back to my Fieldwork short film project – wordcounting.substack.com/s/…
Time to lightly edit the last interview transcripts so that I can get post-interview consent, and get my head back in that space.

After a half dozen interviews about fieldwork, I'm starting to see some themes: Keys getting lost/left behind and wellies getting stuck/lost in soggy ground being two! I'm still looking for more ecologists to interview - get in touch if you'd like to chat

What's it like to work as an ecologist in the field? Have you ever had a #fieldworkfail? What would've made it go as planned? What's the funniest/weirdest thing that's ever happened? We'd love to hear from you as we research our short film. Find out more: bit.ly/453ECjb
