Cornwall student first to benefit from new travel scholarship
A student from Cornwall has become the first to benefit from a new travel scholarship funded by a late university lecturer who was also from Woodrow, from the Rame Peninsula, was awarded the Gavin Pomeroy Travel Scholarship as part of his architecture studies at the University of university said Mr Pomeroy, who taught at the establishment for more than 30 years, left £50,000 in his will for a scholarship "to support students looking to supplement their learning".Mr Woodrow, who travelled to Tbilisi, Georgia, to study how politics influenced the design of houses in the region, said the experience was "empowering". 'Changing my understanding' He said: "As a minimally-travelled person, the chance to experience a new place, especially with developed reasoning behind it, was an amazing experience. "Tbilisi showed me that cities, like the countryside that I grew up in Cornwall, could also be places of poetic dwelling. "[It] empowered me to dive deeply into an area of interest that I otherwise would not have had the chance to do; fundamentally changing my understanding of cities and architecture." 'Support students' passion' The university said the initiative, for second-year students, could be used "for anything related to travel", as per Mr Pomeroy's request when he passed away in 2022. It said: "His entire teaching career was spent at the University of Plymouth, where he lectured until retiring in 1999. "He loved the arts as a whole, enjoying sketching, painting, music and poetry."A keen traveller himself, Gavin wanted the money to support students' passion for the programme, with up to £1,000 available to apply for each year."

Long Covid: Almost one in 10 may have condition, research finds
Almost one in 10 people in England think they could have long Covid, according to analysis of national of Southampton researchers examined information collected by NHS England that showed 4.8% of people reported having the analysis of more than 750,000 responses to the GP Patient Survey also found that 9.1% of people believe they may have long Covid is a chronic condition induced by Covid-19 infection, with symptoms including fatigue, feeling short of breath, brain fog, and heart palpitations. The information also shows higher rates of long Covid in deprived areas and people with particular ethnic backgrounds, parents, carers and those with another long-term Nisreen Alwan, who co-authored the study, said the analysis "adds further evidence of the unfairness of long Covid", with people who are "already disadvantaged in society more likely to be affected"."It also shows us that many people aren't sure if they have it, and may need diagnosis, treatment and support."He said the condition was "still a very significant issue impacting individuals, families, the economy and wider society"."We need to do more to prevent it, diagnose it, and properly support people who are affected by it," he found that people aged under 25, males, from particular ethnic minorities, or those without long-term conditions were more likely to be unsure if they had long also found men who thought they may have the condition were generally less likely to seek medical advice than Woodrow, who is studying for a PhD at Southampton, carried out the analysis: "We were really surprised to find so many people weren't sure whether they had long Covid or not, and the study shows there is still work to do to increase awareness of the condition and remove barriers to accessing diagnosis, treatment and support.""We don't want long Covid to be another factor that contributes to the widening health gap in the UK."

Sustainably Speaking: Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance hosts 10th annual farming roundtable
HOLLAND, Wis. (WFRV) – Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance, an Appleton-based nonprofit dedicated to improving and protecting local waterways, hosted its annual two-day Farming Roundtable event. This year was a special one, as it marked ten years of hosting this event. The first of two sessions was hosted at Van Abel's on Hollandtown on Tuesday where around 100 farmers and agronomists were in attendance, followed by Wednesday's session at Brighton Acre's in Oshkosh. Sustainably Speaking: Using wood chips and used oil to heat buildings 'The farmer roundtables are events we hold to bring farmers together. It's an opportunity for farmers who are interested in trying out conservation practices on their farms or those who are already doing it to have conversations together, to learn new things,' explained Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance Lower Fox Watershed Director Katie Woodrow. Throughout those ten years, Woodrow told Local 5 that this roundtable has been the lead event for conservation farming in northeast Wisconsin for the past five years. Fox Wolf brings in speakers at these events to share the latest research in the field, but also allows plenty of time for one-on-one discussion between farmers to share what is working well on their farms. Topics that were highly discussed at these roundtables are cover crops, no tilling soil and reducing runoff headed to the local waterways. By keeping the nutrients on the land, this helps give us better water quality. 'We also ask farmers to take action for water quality as well,' says Woodrow. 'The primary way we do that is we ask for investment from farms in building their soil by having cover crops, which means they are planting something on their fields outside of the time that their primary commodities grow. Then no-till is a way for farms to not till up their fields.' Whether it may be the Fox River, Bay of Green Bay, Winnebago Pool Lakes or any local waterbody, Woodrow says the system is all connected and when runoff reaches our local waterways, it can harm our water quality. For more Sustainably Speaking reports, click here 'That runoff can contain phosphorus which is a great element that makes things grow on farm fields but that is also a great element to make algae grow in our waters. So we want that to stay on fields and not run off into our waters,' explains Woodrow. Various sponsors and partners make this event possible and Fox Wolf thanks them for helping in the planning of this yearly event. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
