Devastating news - bad for academia, bad for the University's reputation and bad for Cornwall. Not to mention my fantastic colleagues based here. Please consider signing the petition in the comments.

Many are following this. Those at risk here on Exeter's Cornwall campus include myself and colleagues in Geography, Environmental Science, Marine Science, Renewable Energy, and Environmental Maths, Humanities, and 1/2 the Environment and Sustainability Institute. I really hope this can be resolved.

Understanding what people think about new energy technologies is a critical (but often overlooked) component of energy transitions. This was a great talk from @merrynthomas.bsky.social on the topic of societal engagement with underground thermal energy storage.

Not much time for science engagement today? Try the ONE MINUTE MELON! A quick and easy hook to get children interested in the concept of underground thermal energy storage 🍈🌡️🌍 (or the wonders of Planet Earth in general)
