In terms of crowd energy, Some Might Say Oasis are still the #1 Rock 'N' Roll Stars! Tuesday's Supersonic concert at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh exceeded their 2009 peak power reading during their performance of Cigarettes & Alcohol.

Great momentum at our second sandpit, where we dove into the first data produced from our interdisciplinary project between @heriotwattuni.bsky.social @unistrathclyde.bsky.social & @uofglasgow.bsky.social Thank you @scotsages.bsky.social and Scottish Universities Physics Alliance for funding us!

A recent chat I had with @conservcareers.bsky.social about my journey into ocean science 🌊 and what keeps me here.

I really enjoyed this meeting - I always love introducing people to the sea-surface microlayer. *And* thrilled to be voted in as the new AMBIO Chair 👋 Handover from @sarahr-oceans.bsky.social loading…

Every country is warming. Every country is experiencing more extreme weather events because of climate change, mainly caused by burning fossil fuels. www.ShowYourStripes.info Time to #ShowYourStripes and start climate conversations to prompt actions to reduce emissions, personally & collectively.

It’s rare that I get into the field locally, and you can’t get much more local to @heriotwattuni.bsky.social than the Firth of Forth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A love for the outdoors is a big reason I became an Environmental Scientist, and doing fieldwork always reinvigorates that connection between those two parts of me.

This was a great meeting. SAGES are a lovely community who have welcomed me into science in Scotland.

We’re scientists. We’re creative problem solvers. So, when the wine can’t be brought into the poster hall… @scotsages.bsky.social ASM 2025 @stir.ac.uk

Flight attendant: Is there a doctor on the plane? Me: Yes, but I'm not that kind of… Flight attendant: The pilots want to know about marine CO₂ removal and its role as a climate solution. Me: AT LAST!

An excellent Friday spent in Glasgow sharing ideas across disciplines - the absolute way forward in addressing environmental challenges. Thanks @scotsages.bsky.social & SUPA for making this collab between @heriotwattuni.bsky.social @unistrathclyde.bsky.social & @uofglasgow.bsky.social possible!

A blue sky day here at the Lyell Centre in Edinburgh! See what I did there? Thought it was about time I kicked off my Bluesky account, so here we go 🦋 The Lyell Centre is a partnership between Heriot-Watt Uni and the British Geological Survey. And, the place I have called research-home since 2022.
