Me: I have no money, could I lend a fiver for two days? Bank ah sorry we're skint too lol, here's the fiver but it'll cost you £20 and it'll help to guarantee you'll be broke again this time next month

That should now read Professor Bethan Davies 🥳

Welcome to bluesky @iceybethan.bsky.social, Quaternary geologist, glaciologist and science communicator extraordinaire!

Seems like a good time to remind everyone of one of the best headlines of the last decade: "British scientists don't like Richard Dawkins, finds study that didn't even ask questions about Richard Dawkins"

Wow this is the best concise explanation of climate change and how to limit it in the future that I have ever seen! Share widely, this has actually renewed a little hope in me

I haven't heard of Stephen Jay Gould so I assume his biggest legacy is gatekeeping geology with that remark

Soon-to-be postdocs: go work with Dan! He's cool!

not gonna lie i want to live here

I really hope this is correct. AI is a dangerous scam.

Yes I just spent 45 minutes drawing a cartoon aurochs that probably won't even be visible on the slide it's going on

EVs are great and all but we need to move away from the petromasculine broad-shouldered but tiny inside SUVs and to something more practical/affordable/useful

I think this is the best one yet. Eternal support? Amazing, thanks!

I want to know everyone's experiences publishing in: * MDPI journals * Hindawi journals * Frontiers journals Not stories about what you heard, please, but your literal experience. what happened to you. Editors of said journals particularly welcome. RT this. A lot.

the mad lads actually did it

It's publication day! A (slightly dense) paper on the methodology used to investigate prehistoric rock art in Scotland #OpenAccess 🏺

For the coastal geomorph people www.thedailybeast.com/dollar500k-d...

The heartbreak of wanting to review an interesting-sounding paper but not being able to because it's in an Elsevier journal 😭

Scientists say leaving coal oil and gas in the ground could be a more-than-plausible option to combat climate change.

Nothing says "geophysics" quite like having six external hard drives plugged into one's laptop

But they're the balls that go in ball bearings so they're ball bearing balls surely?

The seismic processors left null-value X and Y coords in the segys and now I have to press OK on an error message every 37 seconds for the next 700 seismic lines instead of letting it all just import happily in the background whilst I do something useful

just did this, recommend you do too

Storytelling is such a good way to engage audiences, it has been the way knowledge is passed down between generations for tens of thousands of years. Can't emphasise enough the importance of narratives in geology, the whole thing has been one long story that is still being written,

New paper: “you just look at rocks, and have beards” Perceptions of Geology From the United Kingdom: A Qualitative Analysis From an Online Survey. We explore perceptions of geology from both 'Non-geologists' and 'Geologists', who describe the subject very differently! ⚒️🧪 doi.org/10.3389/esss...
