CoreIdeasPodcast

Core Ideas is the podcast dedicated to paleolimnology, the science (and art) of reconstructing the past environments of fresh water systems.

We're back, and starting a brand new arc! We're building reading lists, 5(ish) key papers to get someone started on topics important for paleolimnologists. We begin with a list to help you with your Reading up on Dating! https://t.co/OAvEoQP60o

Episode 44 concludes Conceptual Rabbit Holes by asking "How much data is too much data", "When are you finished counting", and "How many cores are enough"? It also marks a milestone for the show - for the first time we recorded while in the same room!

Monday morning episode alert! In episode 43, another conceptual rabbit hole, we ask the question: why we know so little about oceanography? Join us in a discussion of silos in science. https://t.co/KXfPmYnhVs

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

New episode alert. We're back for another conceptual rabbit hole, considering the amazing range of different scales environmental processes (size, concentration, time, etc.) occur at, and how paleolimnology fits in. https://t.co/aTOqgmI5Bv

@b_d_scofield @SpinyWaterFlea They do indeed! Didn't know they were on Twitter though...

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

New episode alert (yes, 2 in one month). In episode 41 we consider invasive species, with a look at what paleolimnology can tell us about their impacts. We continue our Conceptual Rabbit Holes arc with The Invasion of the Exotic Aliens https://t.co/8vx7J4PYmq

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

A slightly delayed episode alert! Episode 40 continues our Conceptual Rabbit Holes arc with a look at the next best thing since sliced sediment (Spoiler Alert! It's sliced poop) https://t.co/PMJHZUBObB

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

@bhundey We only just saw this, and don't have any more to add to the list. However, we're definitely filing this away as a potential episode topic though... Interested in a guest appearance Beth?

@ajezz @JThienpont a new episode arc also requires a new arc/playlist image

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

Friday evening episode upload alert! A new arc on conceptual rabbit holes starts with It's a Wiggly World, considering the link between paleo and contemporary records. https://t.co/eT6ytsmQoI

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

The first episode of 2022 is live (recorded way back in 2021!) We finish our small picture arc by exploring stable isotopes. https://t.co/SX2NPPz71E

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

New episode alert! It's been a minute, but we're back with a curated list of contaminants and tracers. It's the top of the POPs! https://t.co/MwyZKBuhDr

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

New episode alert! After the brief interlude to welcome new students, our arc examining "The Small Picture" resumes with a look at midges (the Chironomidae and Chaoboridae). https://t.co/hAx86kmYHD

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

New episode alert! We paused The Small Picture Arc to welcome all the new paleolimnology grad students out there, and also share a few suggestions/tips (from ourselves and some current students). https://t.co/XIHgXaucuJ

1) Apparently, actively maintaining your social media presence is very important #paleolimnology

[CoreIdeasPodcast @CoreIdeasPaleo]

With the start of a new academic year rapidly approaching, we have a question for the 'wiser' paleo-people out there.
Do you have any sage advice for someone at the start of their MSc or PhD? What do you wish 'new grad student you' had discovered earlier?
