It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and a couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to chat with some remarkable women in palaeo from Australia and around the world.

The following thread shares links to several of those conversations. 🧵

A couple of yrs ago I switched up our second-year palaeo essay. I made each student pick a DIFFERENT topic, and they had to come up with a clever title. The class votes on their fave and the winner gets a "palaeo prize pack". There are some awesome titles this year (thread):

Congrats to all the GEOL202 students @UniNewEngland for their awesome engagement with the essay this trimester. May the catchiest, punniest and most excellent title win!
