They’re deranged - I literally listened to the speech and heard him say Iceland (also yesterday at the White House btw). They are relying on people being too lazy to find this out themselves. Despicable.

Artists rendition of the death of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age from this great paper by Hana Jurikova @mudwaterclimate.bsky.social and others (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). The papers also contains some lovely boron isotope data tracing CO2 300 million years ago! 🧪⚒️🌊

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲 Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported. You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

The first paper from my student Simon Ring's PhD thesis is out now! He quantifies boron partitioning and isotope fractionation during adsorption onto different clay minerals.. refining the mechanisms for how it works and what it means for global B fluxes. doi.org/10.1016/j.gc...

Application deadlines vary with each project. For those applying for the Bristol ones you need to select 'PhD Geology' when applying, and can copy the given PhD blurb in as the project description (silly centralised UoB application system makes little sense, sorry) 6/7
