Having been a few months into an extremely busy and unsustainable workflow while writing the dense bits of my PhD thesis, I find this song to be incredibly validating. Sending you all good vibes in dark times:

Happy New Year friends and colleagues. And happy YEAR OF GROUNDWATER! I'm very excited for the year ahead and the opportunity to make the invisible visible with @UNIGRAC and partners! 2022 is going to be a good one💧

Last day of sampling coal mine geothermal fluids in Dollar (Scotland) for my academic sibling David Walls. What a fun ride! @FafFclyde

For those of you in Glasgow this weekend (07 Nov) . There is an awesome opportunity to club sustainably at the BODYHEAT event whereby a ground sourced heating and cooling system stores your body heat! The event: https://t.co/a38zIF4jhg The news:

"I was sick and tired of everything / when I COP'ed you last night in Glasgow" - Y'all ready? Who else is excited?! I 💚 Glasgow. #COP26 #COP26Glasgow

A powerful leader in today’s Times. Gets across the key message from yesterday’s @theCCCuk Progress Reports: Government must get real on achieving the UK's legal climate targets. But we need to talk about this “ruinously expensive” Net Zero stuff. Thread – with some new charts.

It can be difficult for most africain earth scientists struggle to get publish, but don't give up ! Most of the time, they receive : "your study his local 😂😂... please put it in global view!" #EGUv21

I had a great experience of fieldwork for a week. Got to know Scotland and the geology! I was really glad that I used my geology degree to work there. Many more to come towards my best interesting work! Thank you Scotland and Mike!

This is an important, shocking thread. For a sustainable future for all, we need to reduce inequalities in all parts of our society. Critical science and technology should be innovative and diverse, leading the way in equity. @royalsociety any comment on these stark statistics?

What does your field kit look like?

Thanks again @billy_andrews. It was fun having you here for a wee while.

And the field work begins with the @FafFclyde team! (Dunnottar Castle for scale)

Feeling so proud of myself for running my first marathon. At about the 30km mark both my knees had crampped up so I had to hobble to the final 12km. Made it at 7 hrs 59 min 44 sec, sub-8😂. Can't wait for the next one!

The first See Yourself in STEM sessions are this afternoon at @AllSaintsSec featuring 8 excellent Role Models: @coffeewithkraem @onchuru_rachel @likes_rocks @P_Bots @lena_rosaria Lucy Guillermo Chelbi

I have found very few people interested in free food, travel, and housing to look at rocks! If you know anyone looking for a good geology experience this is an excellent opportunity. I'm booking people for 5-6 days at a time so you don't have to commit the whole month.

Still buzzing from last weekend's run. Beinn Narnain+Beinn Ime+The Cobbler
