About Mark
I am a digital journalist and editor and have been producing engaging and compelling content across all digital and social media platforms and telling people's stories since the explosion of the internet in the late 1990s.

I have worked at the BBC and Sky and many other businesses and media organisations with a focus on news, sport and a load of featurey topics such as science, climate, current affairs and travel. I love words, imagery and video, and inspiring and entertaining audiences to engage and fuel their curiosity - whether it's a long-form feature, social media post or video for tiktok or youtube.

Working hard, being fun and creative and pulling people together in a team are big strengths of mine and I've always enjoyed nurturing other people's talents when leading teams as an editor. I'm also just as happy to get stuck into individual projects and produce thought-provoking, fun and lively features.

The new food data could help decision making in the supermarket
09 Jan 2024  |  newseu.cgtn.com
Researchers at the University of Oxford have analyzed over 57,000 food and drink products from UK supermarkets to estimate their environmental impact. They considered factors such as greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water stress, and eutrophication, as well as nutritional quality. The study found that beef and lamb have the highest impact, while meat alternatives, fruits, potatoes, bread, and certain drinks have a lower impact. However, seafood, nuts, and dried fruit also have a significant environmental footprint. Lead researcher Mike Clark highlighted the importance of this data in helping consumers make informed decisions and the potential for developing a mobile app to assist with greener choices. The research aims to contribute to discussions among governments, consumers, and producers, and to support climate targets by encouraging shifts in dietary habits towards more plant-based foods.

It highlights the growth in telescope size and capability, mentioning William Herschel's and William Parsons' large reflectors.
