Lovely morning for some fieldwork.

The brain drain continues – the U.S. has lost arguably its most important scientific awards ceremony: arstechnica.com/science/2026...

In Glasgow and ready to go. #OSM26

🧵I've posted them before, but here's my thread of horror/kids' TV double-bill cinema posters. Happy Halloween... #halloween #cinema #graphicdesign #poster

With the AWS outage, now‘s as good a time as any to post this old strip.

I also enjoyed the description of scientific instruments as icebergs, with the capital cost the bit you can see, and the running costs and required infrastructure as the larger hidden piece underneath.

AI can now generate fake microscopy images that are nearly impossible to detect. A serious threat to scientific integrity—and we’re not prepared for it. Commentary in @natnano.nature.com #nanotechnology

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers. My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers. We found 437 of them. Download it freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

Another batch

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Deadline for applications is 28 February 2025. Do get in touch if you have any questions.

Happy to say this is one of my students. Well done Niamh!

📢📢PAPER ALERT! Autonomous Sensor for In Situ Measurements of Total Alkalinity in the Ocean. 🌊 This is one of @biogeosensing.bsky.social newer sensors, for total alkalinity. 6000 m depth rated, precision and accuracy regularly better than 5 μmol/kg. For more info: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Our team is looking for a new senior colleague with experience leading the development of new marine sensing technology. Have a look! You'd join a highly-interdisciplinary team of great people developing novel instruments from concept to field deployments. careers.noc.ac.uk/vacancy/prin...

Formula 1 celebrates 75 years this week, and we have a long history of working with F1 teams to improve their aerodynamics 🏁🤝🏼 As many of graduates have gone on to work in F1, every team on the grid this weekend will have at least one of our graduates 🎓🌟

Can you send me you favourite climate memes please? I’ve an idea.

Well, they did it. They combined crystal growing with dinosaurs. They were so preoccupied with whether they could they didn’t stop to think about whether they should #crystallography #scienceeducation #chemsky

This, but academic research groups.

We will build a research team focusing on developing enabling technologies based on flow Chemistry, microwave heating, automation, and machine learning. If this sounds interesting to you, please watch out for #PhD & #PDRA adverts coming soon!!

Good morning and Happy Christmas!

Hi friends, I've made a starter pack for ocean #technology for research & innovation. Very humble start (!) but please share widely and give folks a follow to connect with #marine tech enthusiasts & to see more #ocean tech in your feed! 🙏🧪🌊 #sensors #platforms go.bsky.app/VgpFR6B
