I turned my research into a #researchcake this weekend! A chocolate rice Krispy nunatak emerging from a vanilla caramel cake is being hit by caramelized hazelnut neutrons creating in situ 14C.

Come listen to me rapidly describe how the ice has thinned since the LGM in western Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica! And, I'm presenting alongside some amazing scientists whose talks you don't wanna miss!

If you'll be at #AGU2020 (and 5:30 am PST is not an obscene hour for you), I hope to see you at the C024 - Holocene Changes in Antarctic Ice Sheet Behavior I eLightning session! Come hear this southerner try to pronounce field sites like Gråsteinen and Heimefrontfjella!

I typed in "cosmogenic" on the #AGU2020 search bar and came across @donovan__dennis's poster. Absolutely amazing! I am obsessed! All posters should be in this format. Go check it out. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Wanted Matlab to do something very simple. Got it to do it. Will be congratulating myself all day.
