@grhutchens Are we sure this isn't the plot of the 1994 film, the Little Rascals? Right down to the "He-Man Woman Haters Club"?

@JessMcDonell The Princess Bride. Cary Elwes at his peak.

@mikewsc1 @ninobucci $4 for a sausage on bread and $8 for a bacon and egg roll?! Talk about inflation.

@OzKitsch We are happy little Vegemites as bright as bright can be,
We all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast lunch and tea,
Our mummy's say we're growing stronger every single week,
Because we love our Vegemite, we all adore our Vegemite,
It puts a rose in every cheek!

@AmyRemeikis So the government putting people on the Indue welfare cards, where what they spend money on is limited, is not telling people what to do?

I never understood how researchers can sit on their PhD papers for so many years and never publish them. Then I got a job. And now I am sitting on some of my PhD papers. Isn't it ironic, don't you think? #AcademicTwitter #phdchat

Hey Twitter peeps, my paper looking at the Permo-Triassic stratigraphy of the Galilee Basin has just been published. I'm pretty proud of it. You should check it out! #australianseds #geology #australia #geochronology https://t.co/O7epGxfLpO

@sediAus Thanks @sediAus! Wish I could take credit for the name but that was my advisors. I did design the logo, though! And we have a paper in review called "Chasing the Lost World" too.

After all this time, its finally #PhDone! All the experiences and friends I've made along the way have all be worth it. Now on to new and exciting things!

It's finally dawned on me that my annual pilgrimages to my field area are at an end. I won't miss 40 degree temps and steep access tracks, but I will miss these views and these rocks #australianseds #PorcupineGorge #phdchat

@jamesredwards @DoctorKarl Lake Eacham and Lake Barrine in Far North Queensland are between 10,000 and 12,000 years old. So very recent.

Almost 3 years ago we went marine reptile fossil hunting in Jurassic strata of Geraldton. Alas, no luck, but plenty of flies to eat 🙄 #australianseds #westernaustralia #paleontology

In my procrastination phase, I have set up a shelf of geological memories from field trips I've taken. Always good to reminisce good trips! #australianseds #phdchat #geology

[Christopher Todd @ChrisCrossGeo]

Got to spend time with extended fam on the weekend, so feeling thankful for all the things. So here's another pic of my fieldwork spots, this time Carnarvon George, Central QLD. Strong Jurassic Park vibes; fitting because it's mostly Jurassic fluvial sandstones! #australianseds

Change of scenery for today, working from JCU Library instead of home. #jcu

[Christopher Todd @ChrisCrossGeo]

@sediAus It is truly magical. Never a dull view!

[Christopher Todd @ChrisCrossGeo]

My field area: Porcupine Gorge, QLD. Famous for its Pyramid Rock (pic), this feature shows off a cross-section that looks downstream through a Jurassic braided fluvial succession. I always love coming back here for this view.

@kirstywurst @786999T I think you've tagged me by mistake here. I am but a humble geologist from Australia, not associated with health care of any form.

@AmyRemeikis My uni was built on the concept of brutalist architecture for its buildings. Concrete bunkers with few or no windows are ideal for not being able to tell how long your lecture has been going by tracking the sun through the sky...
