In Issue 6 of The 500QS Reader: @TyLKelly says "string theory" & we don't run away, volcanologist @scarlett_jazmin takes the mic for @WhatonEarthPod, @QueerInNeuro fires on all c̶y̶l̶i̶n̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ synapses. Read it & subscribe at https://t.co/fGMOxPCai5! 🌋
For those who follow @scarlett_jazmin you are aware that she is currently involved in the communication and gathering of data for an ongoing volcanic crisis. This will impact on our schedule in recording and releasing episodes. We apologise for the inconvenience!
Currently holding one of the most prestigious research awards “UKRI Future Leader Fellowships” & working towards democratising technology so that it is accessible to everyone, @i_jayas has been shortlisted for the #NDA20 Positive Role Model Award for LGBT!

Due to co-host Jazmin sustaining a head injury yesterday, we will be having a temporary pause on recording and releasing episodes. Sorry for the inconvenience! We really appreciate all the support so far. If you have not done so yet, why not catch up with all the episodes!
did you know: many savanna and prairie plants have extensive root systems, tubers, and persistent bud banks that help them recover and resprout quickly from ecosystem disturbances like fire or grazing?
Ep. 10 ft Dr Izzy Jayasinghe
For #TransDayOfVisibility, we're incredibly proud to celebrate Dr Jayasinghe @i_jayas!
We talk to Izzy about how she studies the heart, challenges with climbing the academic career ladder & the importance of LGBTQ+ role models in STEM.
Listen now!
@itatiVCS mentioned in their episode that every once in a while, there’s a tweet that goes round showing how large root systems in grassland biomes can get...this might be the one! Look at the how deep they go! 🤩 #scicomm
@sandbray No we’re saying you’ve tagged us in a podcast that isn’t ours. We have the same name but I’m sure we have different Twitter handles. We’ve never done an interview with Kanaka Bar Chief and we don’t know who that is. So you need to try again and tag the correct podcast!
🚨NEW GUEST ALERT🚨 We have @i_jayas Izzy! Izzy is a UKRI Future Leader Fellow, currently based in Sheffield and working on developing optical microscopes and applying them to study the physics underpinning life (1/4)
As a trans WoC (of South Asian descent) who lived & worked in a wide range of political environments, Izzy has a keen interest in equality & inclusion. She thinks we have made some tremendous progress on diversity in STEM, but we still face *many* uphill battles (4/4)
Today, Jazmin is transcribing the next episode (spoilers! 🤫) and watching a live feed of the Reykjanes Peninsula eruption that started last night after weeks of seismic activity! May not be in volcanology anymore, but still captures Jazmin’s curiosity! #podcast#scicomm
