We are so proud of Sarita raising over £150 for @WaterAidUK by walking 12km across 2 hillforts & Dorset trails! An amazing achievement for a 9 yo who believes all children should have clean water & toilets. Donate at justgiving.com/fundraising/an… #saritawalks4wateraid @RamblersGB
Don't believe how hard Hambledon Hill & Hod Hill were for 9 yo legs? Take a look at this! Phew 😅 But they were stunning to walk over 😍 @nationaltrust @NTSouthWest #saritawalks4wateraid
Join the @RamblersGB to access walks you can take your children on. There are shorter routes & longer ones, choose what suits you! The important thing is being in nature and getting active! #ramblers #ramblersambassador #saritawalks4wateraid
Every child has a right to clean water, access to nature to be fit and healthy. @RamblersGB are campaigning for more green spaces available to those living in deprivation & in urban areas so they can benefit from nature. Please support them too 🥰💚 #saritawalks4wateraid

#MiniJurassicgirl is walking 12km on @RamblersGB trail today to raise money for @WaterAidUK. We are on our way to start, she is pumped & excited to help children have clean water and toilets 😃

#JustGiving justgiving.com/fundraising/an…
We are walking over 2 hillforts and across the Dorset countryside. It's tough, long and we are behind her, supporting her all the way!
First leg, she has to get up the steep hillside of Hambledon Hill, part of @nationaltrust. A really impressive iron age hillfort! @NTSouthWest #saritawalks4wateraid #walkinwinter #ramblersambassador #ramblers

As a recipient of RH Worth Medal from @geolsoc, I have written a statement of thanks to all of whom I am indebted to. I may have missed people, so apologies but you are all in my heart & memory. TL/DR Cheers everyone, this was for my daughter Sarita 💖

Thank you for this incredible honour @geolsoc. For me it marks an important milestone in my career that I have dedicated to helping ppl of all ages learn abt rocks, fossils and landforms. That journey began with Helen Hastings, my Geography teacher @UCGSchool, she inspired me 🤩
I owe a debt of gratitude to my Ph.D. advisors Prof Jane Hart & Prof Tony Payne & @UoSGeogEnv where I learnt how to be a creative, resilient scientist. A skill that guides me today. In the interview, they asked my fave paper. It is by Stanley Schumm on Thresholds of Change 🤓

For guided fossil walks try @CharmouthHCC or @LymeRegisMuseum, they will teach you how to look safely along the beaches here and train you how to look for and collect fossils. Until you can visit, why not visit @DarrellWakelam to make your own versions!

Why does the confidence & ability of Black and Asian ppl to group and share experiences in places where they feel less welcome cause racists to be triggered? A thread @UkBgh @itsanitarani @BBCCountryfile @ndawards 1/

PoC have always loved nature. My family are from Kenya, our ancestors from Rajasthan, migrating & navigating vast landscapes is in our blood. But we have always visited in places in the UK in large numbers. Why? This photo (c1984) has 3 families on holiday at the Isle of Wight 2/
My memories of this holiday: 1. Fascination for the rocks; 2. Racism and intimidation from being in a place where we did not belong. White parents pulling their children out of paddling pools when we went in, comments abt how we smelt, the food we ate to the clothes we wore 3/

We must recognise how our science grew & profited frm colonialism & slavery. The subjugation & oppression of Black ppl over the ages funded & supported Victorian collectors so the natural sciences could flourish. We owe Black ppl a huge dept for their toil, pain and sacrifice 1/
I was utterly distraught to discover that Henry De La Beche was a slaveowner using the proceeds of his plantation to fund and support Mary Anning. Her discoveries launched the science of Palaentology and today we celebrate that world class fossil heritage on the Jurassic Coast 2/
World Heritage Sites r disproportionately in European/North America & white, Christian culture. Black heritage still remains glaringly under-represented due to early assessments not understanding it's value or contribution to world. @UNESCO @ICOMOS are working to address this. 3/

Designing learning content for #COVID19? In a paper published last yr, I wrote a tried & tested model for creating content appealing to various audience types. Perfect for educators now to help reach family audiences. Some FREE advice follows (DM/tweet me for paper) 1/
What do family audiences want right now? My feeling is entertainment and some education. Keep it light touch, playful and not too onerous or time consuming. Children are loving anything that makes them laugh, imagine or be silly vicarously through others.
Media? YT & YT Kids is the way to go right now. In downtime, kids WILL be on tablets. Target parents with content on SM platforms and hope that they show it to their kids. SOME parents will have the energy to craft or do experiments, deliver this content through clear, short vids
