We were delighted to recently to have VECTOR presented as part of KSL's community engagement day in the region of Lausitz in Germany. We were pleased to engage with the public about the minimally disruptive exploration technologies used in our research and our future outputs.

When the minor inconvenience of waking up @AllegraCOP26 children for an EV recharge is greater than the world LITERALLY burning...

The recent @IEA report highlighted the strategic importance of base metal resources (e.g. Zn, Cu) in the deployment of renewable energy technologies (e.g. wind turbines). Raw materials ARE important for decarbonisation, despite commonly negative perceptions towards mining. (1/3)
Most of the largest Zn deposits were discovered at shallow depths (< 100 m), and future discoveries will be deeper beneath our feet (> 1 km). As a geo-scientist @GFZ_Potsdam I work on figuring out why these deposits form where they do and how we can detect them better... (2/3)

'What if pedestrians would take up as much space as car drivers?'
The German chapter is marching in #Berlin! (@VBerlinautofrei)
Wish there was a way to make this happen here in Berlin @bike_berlin

Officers were pedalling on the Hagley Road in Birmingham looking out for drivers not leaving enough space when passing cyclists as part of #OpClosePass.

NEW: No surprise, but good to see the additional evidence via new research — riding bikes is 10 times more important than driving electric cars per trip for decreasing GHG emissions over full life-cycles. Via @ConversationUK @ConversationUS theconversation.com/cycling-…

I keep seeing the line 'EU is having vaccine problems because it was too slow in negotiating contracts' repeated in 🇬🇧&🇺🇸 media.
I want to push back on this narrative because I think it's missing where real EU-level mistakes lie. Let's review what happened in past year (🧵1/17)

Just a hunch but focussing on enforcement, fines and walks with coffee might distract some people from whether lockdown rules are effective and clear, impact of xmas mixing, borders and quarantine, schools chaos, hungry kids without laptops, and a failed test and trace system.

There was an amazing “levelling up” scheme. It was called #Erasmus.
It allowed this hairdresser’s daughter, (1st in the family to go to uni) to spend a year abroad and learn a language - unthinkable for my parents.
But you’ve just binned it, you arsehole. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-5…
