“With a HP [laptop]…work doesn’t feel like work…” 😂

Oh yeah, it's an amazing cross-section! I featured "The Chunnel" in the last chapter of my book 'Life Sculpted' as an example of a human-made bioerosion structure & included that illustration with an explanation of the geology.

#DERBYSHIRE ROLL CALL!!!! 🥳 #DerbyshireDay

The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney

Sometimes, just sometimes, you have to do something that makes you feel good…👇🏾 I recently chatted to someone about this; for me, during my time in academia, the people I met and what I learnt as we established @eartharxivbot.bsky.social was one of those things 😊

Just in case you’re in the area and in the market for something testing, but glorious… #RunSky

Trail running of the Gods today in the Peak District 😎 #RunSky 🏃🏿‍♂️

Fucksake, this #discourse AGAIN? Yes this platform is smaller, very observant. But I don't spend all day being force fed Nazi slop or getting harassed by Nazis on a Nazi platform specifically engineered to amplify Nazis. It's not a hard decision, let's all just move on.

This. And, the fact that so much of science in the academy has become all about chasing metrics and titles of significance.

I strongly second this! 👏🏾 When talking about science communication, I also always stress that *all* forms and forums of communication matter 🔄 Whether it’s a big, factually correct but details-lite TV show or movie…or just chatting to granny or your mates in a pub 🗣️

Bravo, Portugal. ✊ Joining France, UK, Canada & Australia who, in turn, now join about 75% of the UN's 193 member states which recognise Palestine. It's overwhelming. Now *DO SOMETHING* to protect this country we all recognise.

A Saint George's Cross has now appeared on the roundabout a few hundreds of metres down the road from our house 🫠

Not sure if anyone saw the actual piece that was ran on BBC earlier tonight. My wife, my Mum, and I just sat there with our mouths hanging open. Absolutely incredible scenes.

I spent a year at UT Austin on a H-1B. There is ZERO chance I’d have been able to afford this.

I'm giving social media a go after a hiatus, so hi! I'm a Kiwi volcanologist working on Ngāuruhoe (Mt Doom) in NZ, the 2021 La Palma/Tajogaite eruption impacts, seafloor geologic hazards, & collaborate w. @geotenerife.bsky.social. More on my work here: janinekrippner.weebly.com Nice to meet you❤️🌋

After having a great geo call with @earthjay.bsky.social yesterday, I am inspired to give this platform a go again! So here is my latest writing. Over the last few years I have been doing the classic newspaper column writing scicomm style. www.teawamutunews.nz/2025/09/pani...

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Please have the guts @royalsociety.org Stable societies do the best science.

No, Musk’s fellowship is not in question: @royalsociety.org have already demonstrated they are too weak to enforce their own regulations.

This is the second time this has been raised. The RS failed to kick him out once already and I’m not sure they’ll do it now. He’s not even qualified to be a member - unless there’s a wealth entry clause nowadays.

Reputations can be broken: Either Elon is a brilliant scientist or the Royal Society is little more than a corrupt clubhouse. So who, exactly, nominated Elon in the first place?

I like it. "This choice marks a new chapter in Sorbonne University’s ambitious and voluntarist strategy for Open Science and the reform of research assessment."

French Universities, like many in Europe are IMO lower in rankings than they should be. Since the rankings are science fiction, working to suit particular agendas, withdrawing makes sense. Does anyone care other that (1) SMT; (2) some politicians; (3) a minority of students, (4) ranking provider?

@ediggeo.bsky.social are now on BlueSky! bsky.app/profile/edig...

I still don’t think you’ve got the guts @royalsociety.org: www.bbc.com/news/article...

I wonder what Phil Baty makes of this? 🤔 www.sorbonne-universite.fr/en/news/sorb...

A welcome, if belated, awakening to the disconnect between Musk's actions and the stated values of the Royal Society?

Drove through a decent chunk of Stockport and south Manchester last night. There were flags everywhere, at all major junctions and on several bridges. It honestly feels like someone is sitting on my chest.

Beyond belief. Downing Street pandering to Trump by literally shutting down UK free speech. Shame on the government for its spinelessness. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

I think Musk's comments to a rally of 100k people are the highest profile advocacy of political violence in the UK since the end of the Northern Ireland conflict. Does anybody have a counter-example? "Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die."

Oh, Ant. I’ve missed him. Pt.2.

Ah. Ant. How I miss him.

"You can be English with roots that stretch back a 1,000 years, but you can also be English and look like me". About time. Need much more of this, and need the PM to come out and say it and challenge the politicians and media who've brought us here - not just Musk www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Someone in an EDI-related meeting today said, "don't mistake incompetence for malice"... And I was like:

Watching a #NationalInclusivityWeek talk by Poggy Murray Whitham…and it’s genuinely one of the best EDI-related talks I’ve *ever* heard. It’s deeply triggering, and I’m disappointed only 30-40 of my colleagues have heard their important messages. Check out Equal Engineers: equalengineers.com

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Just got my #GreatNorthRun rejection email. No biggie, as there’s plenty more fish in the sea. What’s new to me and what I’m less impressed by is the fact you can basically *buy* your way past the ballot by becoming a member for £85. Running is exclusive enough without that shit... #RunSky

A great weekend at #Staithes as part of the Staithes Rocks! event, organised by Earth Science Outreach UK for the Staithes Festival of Art and Heritage 😍 A great selection of Jurassic rocks, an enthusiastic tour group, and a decent crowd in the village hall for my evening talk 🙌🏾
