God I hope so. Nobody. Wants. It.

Glasgow is a city of infinite culture and creativity. This touristy AI slop is the antithesis of that, even if it had got the correct type of eagle. Pay a human to do it properly.

Good. Keep resisting.

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

Congratulations Marc!! 👋👋🦣 @marcdickinson.bsky.social for winning the Lewis Penny Medal for his fab tooth enamel dating work from @quaternaryra.bsky.social. @chemistryatyork.bsky.social

Lots of offshore Quaternary talks today, and an inspiring keynote from Professor Becky Briant on the benefits that Quaternary scientists can deliver during ground engineering design: if any of this floats your boat (sic), we're hiring at Wessex Archaeology share.google/MbXadGnfgrLB... #QRA2026ADM

Best title so far, Andy Emery and @beccyscottuk.bsky.social on the deep landforms of Dogger Bank.... Sub-Woofer!! 🦣🏺❄️ #QRA2026ADM

Good morning, @lornalinch.bsky.social and the rest of us are here in Brighton ready to welcome you to the Quaternary Research Association conference. Follow the hashtag #QRA2026ADM for Ice Age and recent environments and people. @quaternaryra.bsky.social 🏺🦣❄️

A cold and sunny Brighton looking glorious this morning. I'm here for the @quaternaryra.bsky.social ADM, talking tomorrow (fittingly) about ice! Come say hi!

This. In the past several years, many have branded their work "AI" for the financial benefits, despite the intense toxicity of the people and tacit assumptions at the center. As communities become conversant in critique and refusal, fragility is on full display as researchers cry out "not all AI". 🧵

in 2026 I am pledging to become more hostile to AI than ever if you come to me with an AI solution to my research I am taking a hammer to your computer and forcing you to watch

Just happened across this, as well as being great for new Quaternary scientists looking for the good stuff, it's also great for heyday twitter alumni to reunite! Rebuilding that network slowly... Thanks Christine!

buying into AI

In Durham for the next two days talking about Southern North Sea glaciation with a crack team of experts assembled by Dave Roberts of Durham University! Excited to share knowledge and latest findings on how the ice sheets evolved during the many phases of glaciation during the Quaternary.

📢 PhD opportunity at Newcastle University! 👉"Reconstructing past ice-sheet retreat and ice-ocean interactions from marine sediment cores". This project will use new marine sediment cores to constrain the timing and drivers of past ice-sheet retreat. More details: iapetus.ac.uk/studentships...

Incredible collection!

Buried beneath Storegga is an even larger submarine megaslide - the Stad Slide! Bridget Tiller’s new paper (the first of her PhD) reveals the vast extent of this slide, discusses its possible causes, and considers whether it could have caused a tsunami 🌊 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

PSA: a summary figure in a paper is worth a million billion gazillion words.

It’s #BlackHistoryMonth in the UK, so please afford me this statement: It’s apparently unprofessional to not wear *smart* clothes to a conference…but it’s completely professional to use the word “coloured” when referring to Black and brown people…

I, for one, welcome our red-breasted overlords

I'm in Ostende this week for #IKUWA8! Come see my poster. I'm also standing in for @hlsteyne.bsky.social speaking on the benefits of offshore development for palaeolandscapes research this afternoon in session D3, 16.00-18.15, room Atelier+1.

I think this might be my favourite yet...

Last year I spent a lot of time updating @frommers.com guidebook to #Iceland, which has just come out. Many, many thanks to my Icelandic friends who answered my random questions as they arose - I could not have done it without you. #TravelWriting
