West Sheffield highlighted as a hot spot 🔥🏠.
Where are the wood burners in England & Wales?. Urban areas outside major cities are likely to have the worst #airpollution from wood burning. New mapping highlights #Worthing, #Norwich, #Reading, #Cambridge & #Hastings. Study led by @ucl Story by me.

On #InternationalWomensDay, I celebrate my grandmother—my inspiration. A mathematician in Spain, she raised 6 children, lived through a civil war & dictatorship, and became the first woman to lead a School of Education at a Spanish university 💜 #IWD2025

I’m so sorry to hear this, Michael. Thank you for letting us know. Sending a big hug to you all. I didn’t know Helen personally, but I used to cycle alongside her on my way home from work. I admired her confidence and style cycling in a skirt—I knew she was “cyclinginaskirt”.
Hi cycling twitter. I'm Michael, Helen's husband. As some of you may know Helen's last scan showed that the cancer has grown and is impacting kidney function. This means we have reached the end of the road for treatment and are focusing on keeping Helen comfortable.

A busy end of the semester for a postdoc in my group, @becky_wagner4! 🎉 She gave a great presentation at the @PPS_UoS internal seminar and a poster at @theAGU. Fantastic work on wetland restoration and earth system modeling! 🌿 #AGU2024

Beyond voluntary severance, departments are turning off lights for Christmas, cutting international field courses, warming freezers from -80°C to -70°C, etc to reduce the uni’s carbon footprint… while the VC flies business class 🤔.

Meanwhile, academics and staff are being asked to apply for voluntary severance… Priorities? 🤔.

Sheffield’s air quality is taking a serious hit tonight with Bonfire Night. PM2.5 is rising to toxic levels—my @sensorcommunity sensor is recording 40 µg/m³, and you can even smell it in the air. Consider limiting time outdoors if you can! @CleanAirSheff @SheffieldAir

The world lost a good one. My friend and colleage @Graham21, founder of @CleanAirSheff, passed away. He cared deeply for Sheffield and worked tirelessly for cleaner air. His legacy will live on in the work he did for all of us. Sending love to everyone who knew him đź’”
