@ZiyiZhu8 It was an absolute pleasure interviewing you (especially as a fellow geologist!)

[Science on a Napkin @NapkinScience]

@PalaeoJenn @Yiming_V_Wang Thank you to you both, keep up the amazing work and I look forward to seeing more in the future!

Science, but this time, not on a napkin..

I had a great time interviewing and writing about the awesome work of @PalaeoJenn & @Yiming_V_Wang using ostrich beads to reconstruct past interactions between African populations over 50,000 years. #archaeology #palaeoclimate

Ostrich beads mark the ebb and flow of migration

Listen today, 3:35pm, on @radionz @JMulliganRNZ - Jacques de Satgé tells Claire about his research into how banded rail use mangrove habitats. Footprint surveys & GPS tagging means @jdesatge now has a clearer picture of how this cryptic bird interacts with native mangroves.

Dr Heidi Gardner was fed up with being told she "didn't look like a scientist", so she decided to smash some stereotypes.

@housescinz symposium #lowerhutt #sciencerocks #palmyrocks will hide this, but not until I’ve shown my kids and we make more #scicommnz

[Science on a Napkin @NapkinScience]

Was great hearing about carbon sequestration in Auckland’s trees from Dr Luitgard Schwendenmann from @AucklandUni @EnvUoA at the #WaitemataLowCarbonNetwork last night @sustaincoasts beautiful flagship #livelightly

[Science on a Napkin @NapkinScience]

This week I have a drink with Dr Nancy Bertler from @VicUniWgtn @gnsscience #antarcticresearchcentre and discuss what ice cores can tell us about past and future climate change...
