Matthew Shribman, MChem (Oxon) (born 15 June 1989) is an Irish–British science communicator and environmentalist.[1][2]
Shribman is a co-founder and head teacher of AimHi,[3] a "nature-first" online school working to "make live learning accessible for everyone",[4] established in response to COVID-19 and supported by the Eden Project, Education Scotland, Chris Packham and Innovate UK.[5][6][7][8]
Career[edit]
In 2017, Shribman was invited to speak about the science of confidence for TEDx London at the Sadler's Wells Theatre in London.[9] That same year, he was given a bursary as an 'emerging producer'[10] by the World Congress for Science & Factual Producers, for which he is now an editorial advisor.[11]
The following year, Shribman founded #NoBeef,[12] to communicate the environmental impact of ruminant meat and reduce its consumption.[13] #NoBeef was adopted by a number of universities, schools and organisations, and was supported by Peter Gabriel[14] and Paul McCartney.[13]
Shribman has spoken and presented widely about environmental science for organisations including the BBC's Blue Peter,[15] the British Portuguese Chamber of Commerce,[16] Extinction Rebellion,[17] and a number of conferences and festivals.[18][19][20]
In October 2019, Shribman organised for 1,000 trees to appear outside the UK parliament,[21][20] with the first 650 allocated to British MPs.[22][23] Over 400 MPs collected trees.[24][25] Shortly thereafter, the UK's Conservative and Labour UK political parties announced plans to plant 30 million trees per year and 2 billion trees total, respectively.[26][20] In the words of UK Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, in conversation with Shribman, "What better way to reach the hearts of MPs who are not yet perhaps as engaged as they might be?"[27]
Shribman's first environmental short film, Losing Ground, about climate change and the science of soil degradation, was released in 2019. It was supported by the French Research Institute for Development.[28]
In 2020, Shribman co-founded the live online school, AimHi to combat educational inequality and connect learners around the world with positive role models.[1][3][4] Through AimHi, Shribman hosted guests including Jane Goodall and George Monbiot.[29] Shribman also wrote and co-ran AimHi's course "How To Talk About The Climate Crisis To Anyone", supported by Cambridge Zero, the Carbon Literacy Project and others.[30] For his work on AimHi, Shribman was accepted into New Zealand's Edmund Hilary Fellowship.[31]
Also in 2020, Shribman released a short film about nano-plastic particles called Plastic in the Air,[32][33][34][35] appeared on BBC Bitesize as a science educator,[36] and began working with the University of Cambridge's Cambridge Zero on a project encouraging news and weather publishers to communicate global levels of carbon dioxide. The project is supported by the Grantham Institute.[37][1]
