FEATURE PART 1: Geoscience is facing a 'diversity crisis' according to the UK's leading scientists.
I spoke to @seis_matters @DrNatashaDowey Anya Lawrence & @BirdgirlUK about what this could mean for us all, in the face of a climate crisis.

Our blog this week is pretty mindblowing 🤯
Thanks so much to Vera Uushona for a fascinating insight into the world of radiation science!
Great read for students interesting in exploring careers that bring together a variety of science subjects 🌏

Vera Uushona, radiation physicist at the National Radiation Protection Authority of Namibia, explains how she traces the origins of illegally trafficked nuclear materials.
An incredible tale of #geoscience, #physics and #chemistry:
