All the new ice core data at #EGU26 is pretty cool, I guess. But nothing can top seeing this alongside a poster in Interdisciplinary Tree-Ring Research

One week until #EGU26 abstracts are due! CL1.2.8 - "Beyond EPICA: old ice and the MPT" looks like it may be the greatest session of the last 1.2 million years (or so). Will the big❓be filled in with new ice core data? www.egu26.eu/session/56601

Tried the new tool in Google Scholar. Not super interesting, IMHO. www.nature.com/articles/d41... I did, however, find this correlation with life 🚼, lab 🏗️, and other 🦠 events quite convincing. 😂

As someone who routinely melts ice in vacuum (or rather with tiny amounts of air), I can confirm that this is true.

The third mass spectrometer made by Francis Aston on display in the new Cavendish Lab. Probably should have cleaned the source more often but I’ll let it slide given that the guy basically invented mass spectrometry.

Also, we had about 5 methane breathers (red spikes) out of 25 (blue spikes = carbon monoxide). One of whom was, as always, me.🤪😮‍💨
