Looks great, thanks. I occasionally feel guilty for not sharing my research more, not knowing how to and not really thinking about it.

Have forwarded to my lab and will register.
We have the right to a clean, healthy, sustainable environment.

Interesting, thanks. I've run sessions for early-career maths researchers about communicating their research so if nothing else it would be useful to know what I should be telling them...

Alas, I doubt I'll be able to join in the webinar, I'll likely be in Togo that day.

I really really just wanted to say that.

On this point more generally, for those who aren't sure where to start - in addition to the link that Stephanie posted, if you're in the UK, sign up to be a STEM Ambassador. https://www.stem.org.uk/stem-ambassadors
Free to do so, and they even pay for your police check. Covers all areas of science, provides training and gives access to (for example) schools who want someone to wander in and talk about interesting stuff to their class, code clubs in the local library, public talks, and so on and so forth. They're really good.
