I worked with Megan Barnes, a researcher at the University of Nottingham as part of the Envision PhD programme, to animate this video about her research into mitochondria and adaptation.

Some behind the scenes clips from an animation I made for Treasure map Trails. Lots of fun character animation in this project. I designed the characters in Adobe Illustrator then animated them in After Effects with Duik for character rigging.

KEEP CALM & CARRY ON WRITING a38derbychaos.org/take-action

National Highways update (4 months after we published the news) "Following our Development Consent Order (DCO) being regranted on the 17 August 2024, the scheme was subject to a legal challenge. We’re pleased to share this has now concluded, with the judge ruling in favour of the DCO. This is an important milestone for the scheme, and allows us to move forward with our work. For more information on our next steps, please visit our website." "Please note: The Transport Secretary has commissioned a review of the Department for Transports’ spending portfolio, including current and future road schemes. While the review is ongoing, we remain committed to the scheme and are currently updating costs estimates and developing our procurement and communication strategy. "

The spending review is still happening and the A38 expansion could still be cancelled. The economic case is weak and the final costs unknown. It was last estimated to cost up to £250 million in 2019. It will cause more harm than good and only lead to more traffic. Tell your political representatives to not waste public money on this pointless, polluting and destructive road scheme. See our writing tips at: a38derbychaos.org/take-action

National highways has updated their website saying the legal challenge has concluded and they're starting work…don’t worry! www.a38derbychaos.org/take-action

Graph: the UK's net-zero costs are falling

The cost of reaching net zero in the UK by 2050 is now predicted to be just 0.2% of GDP (about £4 billion per year).

Spread this far and wide. It reveals Reform and the Conservatives' opposition to net zero for being 'too expensive' as just plain wrong.

Farage talks a big game about standing up for ordinary people—but when it comes down to it, he’s only ever worked for his own interests. 🧵
