Green Recovery Now

Green Recovery Now is an Oxford University student-led movement.

The group say: ‘We feel passionately that the climate crisis must be tackled urgently and, being university students, we want to make use of research and connections with researchers to support the argument for a global green and fair recovery from COVID-19. There are currently more than 30 Oxford University students in seven different teams. The intention is reaching out to students around the world. We want to work together as a global movement to put pressure on our governments to invest in climate-friendly policies to boost economic recovery from the COVID pandemic, based on the best scientific research.’

Green Recovery Now was born in Green Templeton College during the summer of 2020.

You can find more on the Green Recovery Now website.

🦖🦴 Major archaeological discovery at the Radcliffe Observatory 🦖🦴

What began as routine landscaping work on the front lawn has taken a rather unexpected turn…

Earlier this week, contractors uncovered what appear to be dinosaur bones.

Initial (very enthusiastic) assessments suggest the remains could belong to a previously unknown species, tentatively named Green Templetonosaurus.

We’ll share further updates as soon as we know more… 🦖

When the researcher becomes the patient.

In this thought-provoking reflection for The Times Magazine, Research Fellow Karl Smith Byrne shares what tackling cancer has taught him both in his work and in his own life.

Diagnosed with rectal cancer at just 27, Karl brings a rare dual perspective to his field, combining research with lived experience to advocate for greater focus on prevention and more patient-centred science.

A compelling insight into resilience and the future of cancer research.
