Bluefin tuna are miraculously returning to UK shores โ€“ only to be tormented for โ€˜sportโ€™ | George Monbiot A tournament in Cornwall will pit anglers against these magnificent creatures, as part of a rising trend for so-called โ€˜sportfishingโ€™, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I had a great time listening to @vlfuller.bsky.social talk about grant writing yesterday at the @viikki-postdoc.bsky.social workshop. It can be scary to apply for grants, but chatting about it with peers make it easier, or at least more fun. Thanks Vanessa, youโ€™re inspiring!
