I was intrigued by the National Geographic's issue devoted to pain (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2020/01/scientists-are-unraveling-the-mysteries-of-pain-feature/). Particularly of interest to me were the sections on the application of Virtual Reality to reduce the sensation of pain. Programmes showing swimming jellyfish seemed particularly efficacious.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
