Congratulations to @HarrietSleight who successfully defended her PhD thesis today. It has been an absolute pleasure supervising Harriet over the past few years.
I had a lovely afternoon at the University graduation ceremony today watching @AleBou4 being awarded a well-deserved PhD for her research into the environmental risks of pharmaceuticals. BBC Radio 1's @gregjames received an honorary doctorate and gave an excellent speech.
BREAKING: Ofwat abolished in biggest overhaul of water since privatisation. New water regulator established to cut pollution into our rivers and protect families from massive bill hikes. Water responsibilities across four regulators merged into one. gov.uk/government/new…
I have just about completed my new film short that focuses on the beauty of freshwater fish and their importance. As we delve beneath the surface, we encounter a world of beauty fighting for its very own survival. #freshwater #freshwaterfish #pollution #lakes
I had an interesting evening last night at Portcullis House attending the launch of the People's Commission report on the Water Sector. Our work on chemical pollution in rivers got a mention.
I have had a lovely day at Morden Hall attending the Rivers Summit. We had some interesting discussions during the panel session on hidden threats in rivers.

The People's Commission is launching its report on the water industry today and I'm going to be there. The only report about the water industry that you'll ever need to read and the only one that matters.

River Summit & Festival, 8th July at Morden Hall. Next week, through my filming presentation, together, we will venture below the surface of England's rivers and learn about some of the aquatic species living on our doorstep, also be covering pollution. #rivers #freshwaterfish
It's nice to see that our paper in pharmaceutical pollution in the English National Parks has been selected as one of the exceptional papers in ET&C for 2024. doi.org/10.1093/etojnl…
An excellent article today by Phoebe Weston on PFAS in drinking water. theguardian.com/environment/20…
“The big takeaway is that #PFAS are everywhere,” said @USGS biologist Vicki Blazer. For 20+ years, Blazer has tracked sick bass in the Chesapeake Bay. Now her research points to #PFAS from farms, forests, and military sites as a key culprit. thenewlede.org/2025/06/pfas-a…
A lovely morning today at Bridestones in the North York Moors national park.
