Awesome blog post!
My quirky thing that gets me strange looks in the field is the fact I hear certain dusty rock textures as high pitched noises and touching them feels like being electrocuted! #ActuallyAutistic #fieldwork

As someone that thought they love science BECAUSE of its objectivity, this article featuring @palaeobak has given me a lot to think about. #DiversityinSTEM https://t.co/z6aheUmIlz

As the autistic geoscientist being discussed here, I'm super happy with how @NatGeo highlighted access issues neurodiverse students face without sensationalising disability. Oh, and the geology is awesome, but I'm bias!

Sharing a bit about about the scientist as well as the very cool science in this article normalizes the author’s autism without making it a spectacle. This is the #scicom model we should follow so we can learn about the scientists behind the science. Good job @NatGeo!

FINALLY get Twitter and stupidly decide to search my own name, only to be taken by surprise to find a huge picture of my much younger self! It's been a crazy 8 years!
