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.

Thanks a Million!
I know well that a million reads is actually very 'small beer', compared to the astronomical hits received by 'influencers'. It's also taken my blog about 20 years to reach this milestone, with its very modest number of followers (thanks). I console myself, however, with the observation that professorpbrainsblog is concerned with science and natural history, rather than little songs, dances, lifestyle 'advice' or 'japes'. Science also needs to be approachable but free from misuse. I've tried to be both topical and honest, steering away, I hope, from posting 'clickbait'. I'd like to thank everyone again (follower or not), who has read at least one of my posts. Perhaps they've informed? It's kept me feeling modestly relevant, as I approach my dotage.
