In Specsavers and my sedimentologist brain is busy interpreting the ‘cross-bedding’, ‘marker beds’, ‘faults’, ‘on laps’ and ‘truncations’ in the carpet whilst I wait for my appointment 😆 #geologyiseverywhere#sedimentology#geology
Covered a Year 8 history lesson today. Decided to play the live news feed so they could watch events unfold in real time. They had a million questions all about the election but I thought the most important lesson to teach was who Larry the Cat is #LarryTheCat#Election2024
✨ THE LIONESS LINE ✨
📍 The Euston to Watford Junction London Overground - which runs through Wembley - has been renamed to honour our historic #WEURO2022 win, achievements and lasting legacy. 💪
Supply teaching today… year 10 lad asked me if I got paid to travel around the world to look at rocks… I said yes and he looked amazed 🤩 it’s a shame geology is a dying subject in UK schools 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
The fact that there are #memes about Alfred Wegener says a lot about his legacy ;) (he presented his continental drift hypothesis for the very first time in public #OTD in 1912)
Thoroughly enjoyed the BSRG @brit_seds conference. Got to present my PhD research and also threw in a cheeky talk on some scicomm lessons I’ve learnt through creating SciRecipes. Great hosting by the team @lborouniversity and fantastic field trip led by Jack @CharnwoodGeo
Today is graduation day 🎓 it’s been a long and painful journey but I’m finally free from the burden of being bullied into thinking I wasn’t good enough and harassed into publishing research that I knew had been manipulated. Now onto bigger and brighter things ☺️ #AcademicTwitter
#MineralMonday geologist and author Jan Zalasiewicz won the 2023 #IgNoble Prize in the category "#Geology & Chemistry" for answering a century-old question: why #geologists still love to lick rocks 😛🪨

Australasian tektites have been found all over the Indian Ocean, Australia, Indonesia, Southeast Asia & even Antarctica. But the source crater has eluded scientists so far. Now a new study has found a possible impact site ☄️

@astrowags I bought a Wacom drawing tablet. I draw things in pencil on paper, scan it in and then can draw over it with the digital pencil using the tablet. Saves lots of rsi injuries. Then Google YouTube how to videos for short cuts etc
