Ash dieback paper kindles national interest

Today (7th May 2019), the media picked up on the importance of the scientific paper which I revealed yesterday, which calculates the economic cost of ash dieback in Britain to total £15 billion.

Here’s a selection of the resulting press interest (updated 8th May 2019):

• New Scientist
• The Guardian
• The Times
• The Independent (though confused £millions with £billions!)
• The Daily Mail
• The Scotsman
• BBC Radio Oxford
• BBC Radio 4 Today Programme and local radio
• BBC news website
• BBC Farming Today (response from government Chief Scientist)
