Full of creative ideas and ways to make things happen. Wearing a lot of different hats while working to help us achieve the UN 2030 SDGs.

Here is the link to the survey I have been discussing in previous posts. Not my research, it's from Alina Wojciechowska who is a student at the University of Stirling.
I'm sharing it here because I found it so interesting and thought others in the #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead community might also like to see it.

I am reposting it here on a public post so other interested people can also share it if they wish.

The resurgence of analogue photography in the age of digital technologies

Every couple of months I spend an enjoyable morning helping a local charity shop in #Oxford sort out their box of 'Cameras and photographic stuff'.
I test it all for basic operation, clean things up, paying careful attention to lenses, add labels and notes, and price them up for display.

I am told they are usually all sold within a weekand I always hope the working film cameras will be used.

. @drupad You already mentioned this, I know.
Global Academy DO researchers want a place to talk with each other, and perhaps this would be a good one?
Moving slowly until we understand how much support and engagement to expect.

Academics and researchers love Twitter – or they used to. We’ve used Twitter very successfully for The Global Academy so we are sad, but not surprised, to see it falling out of favour.

No point moping.

Mastodon might be our next option. It’s worrying/sad to see how little #SDGs information is shared here and our research community is well placed to improve this.

Are you a researcher with an interest in ‘SciComms’? Let us know if you would like to be part of this.

The SDGs (Global Goals) need a bigger platform - The Global Academy

We'd like to see more conversations about the SDGs, or Global Goals, on Mastodon, as well as on Twitter

The Global Academy
Have not yet talked about www.theglobalacademy.ac much here on Mastodon.
I'm very proud of what we do and a conversation this afternoon reminded me of why I do it.

Why I’m working on the Global Goals - The Global Academy

Our work is part of a larger structure, and we are working towards globally agreed goals, so the Global Academy team are building on solid foundations. We're making the research that will help us achieve the Global Goals accessible to the people who can use it.

Big news from our tiny garden wildlife pond. 

No other takers for my #1930sCameraChallenge.
Quick inventory suggests I could also try for #1960s, #1980s , #1920s or #1890s and a couple of others.

Would anyone else join in?
#1990sCameraChallenge is the only one I'm truly missing.
