The longest day of the year - in our Paisley garden

from Private Eye:

An enormous proportion of #renewable generation on the UK grid this morning —- one thing this govt deserves some credit for is the effectiveness of the sprint for clean energy

Once again around 75% of the UK's electricity is being supplied by renewables this morning, with only 5% from fossil fuels

#Renewables seriously winning UK energy generation this afternoon

Brilliant to have so many colleagues, friends, artists and community orgs from across the Ayrshires for an arts/climate local assembly on the Ayr campus with #cultureforclimatescotland @uniwestscotland.bsky.social

My @uwscreative.bsky.social colleague Henry Bell launching his new book The Theatre of Laura Wade complete with excepts from various plays directed and performed by our students — proper #researchteaching linkage !

Made it all the way to #Graz just in time for my @uniwestscotland.bsky.social colleague Dina Sidhva’s keynote at the #BorderUrbanism conference - tomorrow morning I’ll be talking about #Dharavi

Busy day on the @uniwestscotland.bsky.social Paisley campus for our Springboard event connecting culture and climate action in Renfrewshire - with Creative Renfrewshire and Culture for Climate Scotland

Great to welcome colleagues from the University of Lapland to UWS Ayr campus for the launch of Mari Parpala’s Poroissa photography exhibition

Enjoyable couple of days cooking up project / writing ideas with colleagues from across @uniwestscotland.bsky.social - many thanks to my colleagues in the school of education and social sciences for organising!
