Well it so appears that I might have just received an Honorary Doctorate from @_UoW and from Alan Titchmarsh which is truly a great and proud honour of my life last night apparently. Hence that is why I might have been polishing up my speech .

The Big Butterfly count is underway! 🦋 1.4 million butterflies and moths were recorded in the UK last year, but there are fears a wet spring has put many species in decline. Chris Packham tells #BBCBreakfast how we can help to protect them. bbc.in/3z9zp8R

The unprecedented development of #COVID19 vaccines happened not because we threw money at the problem, it was because we had built, over many years, a knowledge base, with expert PhDs, postdocs, through to professors... Brian Cox
