Jonathan’s round up covers a wide range of topics from mosses in the Antarctic, the human right to a safe climate, the extinction of experience of ecologists, the importance of feedback, and using a notebook!
I am always going on about having a notebook. As a keen photographer, I keep a notebook in my camera bag and another in my coat pocket. I know you can jot down notes on a phone or make a voice memo, but it not quite the same as writing the idea down on paper.
And I am always mindful of the value of notebooks from the past - the detailed records of Gilbert White and other naturalists that have provided the team at Cambridge University with a historical baseline to study seasonal changes and the long-term impacts of climate change
