Fancy a trip to Scotland? A warm welcome awaits in Bonnie Dundee. Our second national conference (1st was 2014). Some big names. Should be a great day and you get to see RRS Discovery. #wfa #FWW #GreatWar #FWW #wfatayside @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social
A request, having had some success on here previously! Are there any Edinburgh / Glasgow based academics specialising in ecology and rewilding out there who’d be prepared to give a lecture or run a session for a group of US students coming over in May next year? Please repost!
