So many ideas today at the British Academy conference on communicating #airpollution. Some great highlights in @peteknapp.bsky.social 's thread from the day....
Dr Pete Knapp@peteknapp.bsky.social · 2y agoAt this conference about communicating air quality, @andygrieveair.bsky.social said “we aren’t expecting any fire alarms, but there is a gentlemen’s club next door with fireplaces and cigars (audible gasp) so if you smell smoke it’s probably them” I love these guys. @wellcometrust.bsky.social (1/n)
Super excited to be here today and to be presenting alongside so many interesting folk. Looking forward to a day of discussing air pollution communication 📣
I’m really looking forward to this 😁

Yes, totally. That's why projects like Forth-ERA where we're monitoring #AirQuality in smaller cities, towns and villages is important, too #Stirlingshire #Clackmannanshire www.stir.ac.uk/about/scotla...

Dr Gary Fuller@drgaryfuller.bsky.social · 2y agoWe frequently overlook the #airpollution problems caused by wood burning in rural villages, and the #climate harm too. To plug this gap, a team of scientists moved into a Slovenian village for winter. Here's what they found. My latest for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...
I’m at the Royal Society of Chemistry in London today hearing about the latest updates in air quality research….looking forward to the day ahead! #AirPollution
Great to see Starmer acknowledge children shouldn't breathe air pollution. "I don't want my children breathing dirty air." But the Govt is failing. 99.8% of schools in England are in areas where fine particulate pollution is above safe levels 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/ar...
