A fantastic evening out, Thanks for having me!

The ECORISC conference kicks off with a great talk by @georgecmcgavin. In his talk George highlights the mess that the world is in and the role that science communication can play in tackling environmental issues.

1/5 - Over the past six months, we have been working on a Natural Environment Research Council funded project to develop a series of short videos to help potential PhD applicants navigate the application process. The videos are based on our and our students experiences of the PhD reruitment process.

I have had a wonderful day working with a group of PhD students from Kharkiv and University of York learning about our two cities and the different environmental problems in the cities. Over the next few weeks our guests from Ukraine will be working with research groups across York.

It's nice to be back at Gradbach Mill for the ECORISC CDT year 1 challenge event. The groups are working on projects looking at perfluorinated chemical inputs from airports, pesticide emissions from golf courses, hormone inputs from WWTPs and land use impacts on invertebrates.

It's group photo day at the ECORISC CDT data challenge event at Gradbach Mill.

The most difficult part of my decision to leave academia was saying goodbye to my incredible graduate students. Getting to work with this group everyday has been everything to me.

It has been fantastic getting the whole ECORISC CDT team together this week to explore links between the different PhD projects and to discuss how the CDT can maximize its impact.

Please share to help #EarlyCareerScientists #FindaPhD #forpeopleforplanet with focus on wet habitats. Lots to choose from! Kelly Redeker @Izzybellaa95 Emily Forbes Hannah McGrath as well as Alistair Boxall from ECORISC CDT are chatting to prospective students this week.

Made it to #SETACSeville Had a great DEB TK-TD Course Free sangrías and food, love it!

Find me at poster 89 in #SETACSeville and I'll show you how to generate a year's worth of data in a month with a Cell imager well plates and Daphnia!

El pueblo de México es amoroso, el mejor del mundo. Muchas gracias y hasta siempre.

Some of us at ECORISC CDT have contributed to the call for evidence from The Environmental Audit Committee, exploring the effects of climate change in Antarctica, and the role that UK plays in this. Have a read: committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…

Our written evidence setting out the state of chemical pollution and interactions with climate change in Antarctica has been published by the EAC! It was a pleasure to lead on this with my fellow ECORISC PhDs.

March for Life UK had their first event of the year on Saturday , Rethink Abortion interactive day went to Crawley! Thank you to the team Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel & Brighton and to Bishop Richard for inviting us there, it was a most fruitful day!

Imogen Bailes, Lucy Hart, Ola Dosunmu – all PhD students based @LancsUniLec – collaborated with PhD students at other institutions associated with the ECORISC CDT to submit evidence as a part of a parliamentary inquiry into the human impact on the environment in Antarctica.

Join us in Birmingham from the 11-12 June at the ECORISC Conference. Over the two days, you will gain insights into our work on the occurrence, fate, effects and risks of chemicals in the environment. Further information can be found using the link below. ecorisccdt.york.ac.uk/2025-conference

We are really looking forward to the ECORISC conference in Birmingham in June. There is still time to register for what should be an interesting and informative event on environmental risks of chemicals. More information can be found using the link below ecorisccdt.york.ac.uk/2025-conference

We have had a fantastic first day of the ECORISC CDT conference. The presentations were great and we had two excellent interactive sessions. A highlight was Angel Ceballos-Ramirez leading discussions with the aid of his trusty sword.
