HUGE, huge thank you to Sam, Rich and the amazing Busy Chaps team in for generously moving some large kit for us today! 😍

As a tiny charity without our own van it's really hard to do this on our own - so we are incredibly grateful for their kind support! 💚 Thank you so much Busy Chaps team! 🙏

🍅 Register your interest via their website - and stay tuned when the collection point is set up in the next month or so! Check out: https://linktr.ee/Teigngreens to find out more.

In our upcoming livestream, we're meeting Prof Travis Coan, Professor in Computational Social Science at the University of Exeter.

Travis' research spans a broad range of topics, and examines questions in the areas of environmental and political communication, including how AI can be useful in detecting and analysing misinformation in text and images across politics and climate communication.

Travis is also Co-director of the Centre for Climate Communication and Data Science (C3DS), which conducts research at the intersection of AI, social science, and climate communications to support climate action.
