Here's my entry for the @OUGradSch #BakeYourResearch competition. A fruitcake to represent the microfossil assemblage in my samples (raisins, sultanas & currants = planktics; nuts = fish teeth; glacé cherries = benthics), decorated to show "lab" conditions during lockdown.

It's been 37 days since I've seen anyone I know face to face, and I've been wishing I had a dog to keep me company. So this weekend I made myself a new friend! Anyone got name suggestions?

So a clean sweep in the judges votes for @OU_EEE once again shows how much we value and enjoy science communication! Whether that be through talks, videos, or cakes! Congratulations again to @KelleighGreene @SophiMAlexander and @Emmelement! May the winning streak continue! 😁🙌👏

Set up the tent last night @GreenManFest where I'm volunteering on the @OU_STEM geology stall (quick tell me some cool rock facts!). First night camping was quiet before the festival starts today. #greenman19

I found something unexpected in my marine sediment sample! This insect(?) is about 250 μm. We assume it jumped into the sample while washing as it doesn’t look marine and 1.5 Ma old to us… but we are intrigued now, does anyone know what this is? #insects #Entomology #biology

So warm in the office today that I had to eat the emergency chocolate I keep in my desk to stop it from melting.

Had a lot of fun (and cake!) taking part in #geobakeoff 2019 as part of #Team209. Really enjoyed seeing how other people tackled the same challenges in different ways.
Morning all. If geologically themed baking isn't really your thing, you might want to mute #geobakeoff for a little while...It's time at last for the results of THE GREAT GEOBAKEOFF 2019!

Getting more young women into #science and #engineering is so important - it was brilliant to support the recent Soapbox Science event @centremk @SoapboxScience @SoapboxSciMK #MiltonKeynes

Still smiling from having taken part in #SoapboxSciMK19 yesterday!
The fantastic giant coccolithophore! These fossils are actually very small and can tell us about past and future climate change @Emmelement @OU_EEE @OU_STEM #geology #womeninscience #climatechange

I love my giant coccolithophore so much I want to keep it forever!

Huge thanks to the volunteers today - we couldn't provide so much support to speakers, information to the crowds and measure our impact without you! Great to have past speakers @HMetcalfe1 & @sofia_kour & I'm sure future speakers there too! It's a good model @SoapboxScience

My picture of the day: @Emmelement after sharing her science w shoppers @centremk for @SoapboxSciMK. Great speakers & volunteers, but the biggest thanks (from me) to the best committee ever: @Dirt_Science @crook_laura @g1llh1ll @cranfieldclare @Aero_Emma - you are exceptional!

A beach ball, stickytape, 18 paper plates and a marker pen later I have created a giant coccolithophore! I'd call that a Sunday afternoon well spent.

Interested in how tiny fossils can help predict the future? Come to #SoapboxSciMK19 on 29 June, 12-3pm, Middleton Hall @centremk and meet @Emmelement a PhD student from @OpenUniversity who will tell you more! #WomenInSTEM #WomeninScience #Milton Keynes socsi.in/eMeQu
