I had so much fun doing this - it was amazing to see the young people engage and pick up new skills so quickly, and I learned loads too!

Great news! @BritGeoSurvey maps are available again on Android phones. Instead of the defunct iGeology app, you can now access to 1:50,000 scale via a mobile friendly web page - https://t.co/Xwq87LZBu1. A great step forward, well done to the team!

Not a bad day 'in the office' !

[Alastair Ewen @aspenoutdoors]

Me and Jen were on Being Mhanach, near Tyndrum Today with Iain and Alan, two new outdoor instructors for Aspen. Wonderful views today.

@science_lo @ourdynamicearth Woohoo, congratulations Lauren 🦕🌋🌍

[GeoBus @GeoBus_StA]

🚨 Lots of great content available now on the diversity of the planet and the dangers it faces 🌍- live events start tomorrow #CuriousAboutOurPlanet science festival

Head over to the Envirotent area for some great Climate Science resources from GeoBus 🤩https://t.co/ci64BI3al9

[Dr Elsa Panciroli @gsciencelady]

There are some amazing online lectures, virtual #geology tours and real-life excursions in the @scottishgeology Scottish Geology Festival! Check out the line-up, and then go and sign-up! https://t.co/MRK0WBl5jU #Scotland #ScottishFossils #GeologyRocks

💕 Feel very fortunate to have been able to make shared parental leave work - global crisis not withstanding it's been amazing to spend the time together as a family.

[Nick Brooke @nickstbrooke]

Eilidh was 12 weeks old on Friday, which was also my last day of parental leave!

[Jen Brooke @jencbrooke]

@CockburnGeol Thank you! We're doing well, getting her started on the right themes early 😉

[Nick Brooke @nickstbrooke]

Huge thank you to the maternity team at @nhsfife Victoria Hospital (especially Kirsty and Kirsti!), who took great care of Jen and Eilidh. We are incredibly grateful for their care, advice and support throughout the last nine months. Thank you, forever.

[Nick Brooke @nickstbrooke]

On Friday morning, @jencbrooke and I welcomed Eilidh Margaret Brooke into the world. Mum and baby both doing brilliantly. Eilidh came in at 7lbs 13oz.

[GeoBus @GeoBus_StA]

Delighted to have been able to write this with @GeoBus_UCL - highlighting #earthscience as a subject to young people is more important than ever & we believe an effective way to do this is providing support & resources to classroom teachers 🌍

[Angus Miller @Geowalks]

I'm inordinately proud to have led this project for @EdinGeolSoc - it has taken two years, but really pleased with the final product. And a good foundation for EGS to do more educational work.

[Jen Brooke @jencbrooke]

Couldn't resist a visit back to my former High School - great morning, thanks for having me!

[Boroughmuir High School Geographers @BoroughmuirGeo]

@GeoBus_StA
are here and we are having an 'explosive' time exploring what happens under the Earth's crust and how tectonic plates move @BoroughmuirHS

[Jen Brooke @jencbrooke]

Was a pleasure to deliver these workshops with Megan on behalf of @GeoBus_StA and @EarthSciStA - so impressed with how well all the French kids coped with being taught entirely in English!

[Megan O'Donnell @ODonnellMegan]

The @BritishCouncil sent me to Lyon to deliver workshops with @GeoBus_StA about how we can use geology to capture and store the CO₂ causing climate change.

Some experiments will be making appearances as part of some @geolsoc #YearOfCarbon events soon 👀
