Just coming to the end of my first week as a lecturer at @royalholloway.bsky.social - great times chatting to colleagues old and new. Next week it's off to Macedonia to host a workshop for the PalaeOpen COST Action, very exciting too palaeopen.github.io @costprogramme.bsky.social

Might have to rethink that @rspb.bsky.social membership 😛

Last week I handed back my office keys and laptop, which wrapped up my time at BBK. Nearly 8 years, they have flown by and I learned a lot! In a month's time I'll be starting a new position (which I'm really looking forward to). In the meanwhile, BBK is now recruiting: cis7.bbk.ac.uk/vacancy/lect...

Just added @cesar-morales.bsky.social and @laurahmt.bsky.social to this starter pack in #palaeoecology go.bsky.app/5Z2LANk Do not hesitate to 1) follow these wonderful folks and 2) suggest more names!

#TREES_ThemeThursday: TREES (@treesdla.bsky.social) is offering PhD studentships in 9 themes across environmental science. 1 theme is … Past Life & Environments 🦴🩻 Search for projects and supervisors on the TREES website: trees-dla.ac.uk/projects

Nearly ready to turn on my auto-reply and start the holidays, and just reflecting on a thing my Phd supervisor Sjoerd Bohncke (who sadly no longer is with us) used to say: "Strange things can happen in the Holocene" :) Have a nice break everyone!

Great to see the paper by @angelalamb.bsky.social appear OA in Quat Sci Rev! The paper reviews the recent progress on stable isotope analyses on invertebrate remains found in lake sediment records. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Birkbeck is participating in 2 newly awarded doctoral landscape awards, offering PhD positions in (a.o.) environmental research for the next 5 years: www.bbk.ac.uk/news/bioscie...

This looks like a nice teaching resource - soil maps for the UK

Waiting for the Eurostar to take me back home after a quick work-trip to Brussels: kick-off meeting of the PalaeOpen COST Action. Looking forward to 4 years of great science and cooperation! Do sign up to the working groups: www.cost.eu/actions/CA23...

Yes! COST Action "PalaeOpen" just got approved! Led by Thomas Giesecke and with involvement of lots of excellent scientists from across Europe. Really looking forward to the great science that is to come!

Woohoo, the results of our collaborative project on lateglacial biodiversity change have just been published! Paper (OA) here: doi.org/10.1016/j.qu... Data here: doi.org/10.1594/PANG... With many thanks to all the contributors who made this one possible!!

Always nice to see ones work appear in print. Esp this one, as it's my first book chapter and it was a while in the making - with @fossilbeetle.bsky.social Lots of other great chapters in there too!

Marking essays will never be the favourite part of my job, but it does become a whole heap more pleasant when the final paper of the bunch is a well-written insightful piece where I even learned a few new things :)

Looking forward to starting my 1st year module on Environmental Science today. A general introduction through the concept of Planetary Boundaries (and yes I know the version below is now outdated :))

1) I am not the only one to ring the ⏰: Deadline for abstracts @eurogeosciences.bsky.social #EGU2024 is on Wed 10.1 (I also forgot)! And I have THE session for #palaeoclimate freaks like me CL1.2.10 from the INT-I-MA-TE network meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/sessio... Come, join us!

Nice to see more people making it over here! I'm no longer on Twitter, but if you see anyone over there in need of an invite code, let me know, as I have a few spares :)

And perhaps most importantly, Bangor's School of Ocean Science is recruiting for two lectureships in Biological Oceanography and Marine Top Predators Ecology and Conservation. Come be my new colleagues! jobs.bangor.ac.uk/details.php.... jobs.bangor.ac.uk/details.php....

Unexpected start to the day, flooding in next doors lab. Luckily no damage and quickly resolved, but def looked quite dramatic!
