I'll be in the lab at the other end of a microscope, staring at beautiful diatoms (algae) from Greenland!

@NMP_PalAnox @AndyDoggerBank @palaeokatie Cool, enjoy!!

[Keechy Akkerman @AkkermanKeechy]

@NMP_PalAnox @AndyDoggerBank @palaeokatie Are you going this summer? I moved to Snowdonia now, but if you happen to go south as well, let me know :)

[Keechy Akkerman @AkkermanKeechy]

@NMP_PalAnox @AndyDoggerBank @palaeokatie Yeah, or go up the Pap de Glencoe from the village for a nice view and take the bus through the Glen :)

[Keechy Akkerman @AkkermanKeechy]

@NMP_PalAnox @AndyDoggerBank @palaeokatie hmmm yeah, I've walked small parts of that 'path' from the end of a hike to the start, it's not ideal... Like a muddy path next to a road. If you're not scared of heights I'd recommend Aonoch Eagach! Amazing walk on the ridge!

@ACvetkoska @BES_Palaeo your vote could have saved us! it was soooo close!

[Richard Mason @RiccoMason]

We have starved our rivers of habitat- so animals are using litter instead

From fish shoaling around shopping trolleys to insects inhabiting urinals...

[Keechy Akkerman @AkkermanKeechy]

@BES_Palaeo @ACvetkoska have you voted? Diatoms are losing! Gotta get all the diatom folk!

[Keechy Akkerman @AkkermanKeechy]

@Hannaea_Fossil Hehe just kidding, Nitzschias are just an easy target!

[Keechy Akkerman @AkkermanKeechy]

The most beautiful organisms in the world of course! <3 diatoms (except for Nitzschias)

Did I make a 3-tier chocolate cake for an interview?
Yes, yes I did.
How else should you explain ocean sediment cores?!

[Dr Catherine Sanders @crayfish_cath]

Excited to say my first PhD paper with @StephenRice15 and Paul Wood is out, open access in @BSG_Geomorph ESP&L!

Crayfish burrows increased bank retreat by up to 253%, increased bank collapses, and recruited >25 t km-1 a-1 of floodplain sediments! 1/7
