It was a cold start to the day here in London but probably not as cold as Laura's fieldwork sites! Read about some cool NHM student research⬇️

[Science at the Natural History Museum @NHM_Science]

Hi, I’m Laura! I study microbes in polar environments and the connection between glaciers and the atmosphere.

My research explores how life survives there and aims to tell us more about the #Cryosphere which plays a crucial role in planetary health. #NaturalHistoryMuseumLondon

[NHM_Students @NHM_Students]

Cool new research linking some of the smallest organisms in Africa to the largest!

[NHM Explorers Programme @NHM_Explorers]

This will be the last Explorers Conference, so of course we need to go out with a bang.

If you're a regular, would love to see your faces again.
If you have never been, it's not to late to become part of the community.

For a bit more info on my reserach, here's a link to our recent paper which formed the first chapter of my PhD... Hopefully more to follow soon! 🤞https://t.co/ejCcBTEyX3

[Paddy Hooper @ProtistPat]

Very pleased to share that I passed my PhD viva with no corrections!🎉

I am now off travelling around Central America for the next six months!

While I am away, I will be applying for postdocs to continue my journey into microbial ecology. Any opportunities v welcome!!

Check out this new review paper on the use of AI to study the evolution of morphology. Also this must be a record for most museum students involved in a single publication!

[James Mulqueeney @JamesMulqueeney]

New review paper on using AI to analyse Evolutionary Morphology is officially out! Was great to part of a large collaborative team writing this.

Some appropriate NHM student research for #fossilfriday

[ChaSE (Chalk Sea Ecosystems) Project @ChalkSeaEco]

This #FossilFriday we welcome @ucl MSci student Kaia Spence! For her research project @NHM_London until May 2025, Kaia will be working on the size:temperature relationship in the enigmatic #Cretaceous 'swordfish' Protosphyraena from the UK Chalk. 🐟

Did you know you can study lakes from space? Checkout @AidanByrneSci research on the East African Rift valleys to learn more

[Aidan Byrne @AidanByrneSci]

The third chapter of my PhD has been published today! 😊 We used satellite Earth observation data to quantify the drivers of water storage changes at 375 lakes across the East African Rift System. Read more here:

[NHM_Students @NHM_Students]

Building a collaborative network with peers is key for early career scientists. New research (involving NHM student @justin_isip) suggests the use of AI may limit opportunities to build these networks!

[Science at the Natural History Museum @NHM_Science]

Does @ChatGPTapp use by scientists for coding reduce opportunities for support, friendship and learned kindness in research? Joseph Millard, @justin_isip @BecksSpake & al assess the evidence https://t.co/R4Dp85JfH1

*Topics!

[NHM_Students @NHM_Students]

Lots of great talks and posters from NHM students at this conference! Topis ranged from African wild dog genetics to Guatemalan volcano mineralogy!

[SSCP DTP @SSCP_DTP]

Enjoying the fantastic research talks, posters and networking at this year's Joint DTP conference @London_NERC_DTP @SCENARIO_DTP thanks to everyone organising and taking part🙏

[NHM_Students @NHM_Students]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[Paddy Hooper @ProtistPat]

Pleased to share I submitted my PhD thesis earlier this week!! Grateful for all the support along the way, it has been a busy 4 years! @NHM_Science @NHM_Students @GW4plusDTP @UniofBath @MilnerCentre

[NHM_Students @NHM_Students]

Congratulations 🎉🎉 @Lugzsu doesn't just study at the museum she actually studies the museum itself (and how it impacts children's connection to nature)! Just an example of the range of subjects you can study at the museum.

[Zsuzsa Lugosi 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇭🇺 @Lugzsu]

Last day of data collection for my PhD. A bag of mixed feelings. Now, just that pesky little thesis to write... @NHM_London @NHM_Students
