🎉After months of behind the scenes work, I couldn't be prouder to reveal the brand new @Geo_Dev website!

A modern, contemporary site packed with resources that showcase how best to champion the role of #geology in #sustainabledevelopment.

Can you guys share this and help me get to Geology Twitter?? Working on a story and looking for Geologists who specialize in volcanic eruptions. 🌋 Please send me a DM.

Fantastic new article in @NatureGeosci by Anya Lawrence about the barriers faced by geoscientists with disabilities in the workplace!

FEATURE PART 1: Geoscience is facing a 'diversity crisis' according to the UK's leading scientists.

I spoke to @seis_matters @DrNatashaDowey Anya Lawrence & @BirdgirlUK about what this could mean for us all, in the face of a climate crisis.

Nyiragongo is no joke. It’s arguably one of the most dangerous volcanoes on the entire continent, and a nightmare for those in the DRC and neighbouring Rwanda.

Our blog this week is pretty mindblowing 🤯

Thanks so much to Vera Uushona for a fascinating insight into the world of radiation science!

Great read for students interesting in exploring careers that bring together a variety of science subjects 🌏

@VolcanoLiver @AmyHughes391 @mcnamadd @OrbitalPete Congrats Amy!

[Dr. Laura Roberts @LauRob85]

@RhianMeara My examiners told me I’d passed right at the start too. It meant I gave better answers to the questions they had subsequently and it felt more like a conversation than a test. I’ll forever be grateful for their thoughtfulness.

[Dr. Laura Roberts @LauRob85]

@MirelandMark I second @rememberthemilk! it’s easy to structure (like you I found I was wasting too much time organising more complex tools) and means I can keep a master to do list. I use my billet journal for weekly/daily to do lists (based off my master RTM list).
