For #InternationalWomensDay we want to highlight the excellent leadership of Prof. Karen Heywood at @ueaenv - just finishing the very successful #AntarcticPICCOLO cruise for #Roses_PICCOLO. On the #SDA @BAS_News ship. A great role model for all the young scientists on board.

3/3 @Chr_Krwr and I might have set an ‘important’ new record too. Did we play the first ever game of chess on an ice floe in the Weddell Sea during #AntarcticPICCOLO? @UniversityLeeds @PlymUni @ueaenv @PlymouthMarine @univofstandrews @BAS_News

2/3 We collected our final water samples for analysis on #AntarcticPICCOLO - More than 24,700 litres of water processed for @geotraces @UniversityLeeds @PlymUni @ueaenv @PlymouthMarine @univofstandrews @BAS_News

[Dr Will Homoky @willhomoky]

Looking back. A lot happened last week..
1/3 We successfully sampled for trace metals and isotopes from underneath drifting sea ice floes of the Weddell Sea. #AntarcticPICCOLO @UniversityLeeds @PlymouthMarine @ueaenv @PlymUni @univofstandrews @BAS_News
