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.

Jiggle That Mouse!
It seemingly had to happen. Many more people currently spend at least part of their time, remote working from home. This generally increases productivity and job appreciation. Some bosses have, unremarkably, wanted to monitor whether their workers are actually active. A device called a 'mouse mover', with a spinning disc, has been developed, enabling remote workers to take time out, to watch a soccer match on TV etc, without being classed as idle (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/05/idle-no-more-how-automatic-mouse-jigglers-are-taking-on-nosy-bosses).
