When you can’t see the peat for the trees!
One of the perks of being a Bogologist is the chance to travel around and see cool bogs in interesting places (I’m writing this just home from Russia). Over the […]

An A – Z of peatlands!
We were quite surprised how quickly we could brainstorm a range of options of our peatland A-Z. This version is just one of many possible iterations so watch out for […]
Science communication: the power of the internet and the day we went viral
On Friday 31st January this year, a mere week ago, but what now seems like another age in our Bogology experience, Tom and I were chatting about the site. Not […]
Life in academia #1: the conference
