A Planetary mineralogist from London working at the Australian Synchrotron who likes to look for rocks in deserts...All comments are my own.🇬🇧🇦🇺 She/Her
I had the best fun nerding out with @SciNate this morning on @abcnews talking about all the cool stuff the @ausynchrotron does! Thanks Nate for inviting me on!

I'm not 100% sure, but this may well be the first time EVER that a #LGBTQ#Pride flag has hung proudly at the @GeolSoc, in 216 years!
Very proud to be part of this community & to ensure visible support this year for #Pride2023, especially for the #parade route next weekend!

Even for us, this was quite a far-fetched #geology#fieldtrip to plan! Take a look at where @heab & I would visit across the Solar System, if given the opportunity!
Hint: we visit #moons, planets, & #asteroids...
If we could go sightseeing across our cosmic neighbourhood, these would be some of the best highlights.

More impact crater fun and this time I just had to get @NatStephen involved! Please enjoy our favourite craters from across the solar system and we hope they will become yours too!

I love how easy it is to stay connected in the 21st century, but it's a hard way to maintain your closest relationships! 16 hours of time differences to manage daily...

Being under the stars on the Nullarbor may just be my favourite place to be in all the world! So glad to have finally been back after 4 years, but it's hard to leave behind...

The happy faces of 8 scientists in the Nullarbor, having collected an exciting new haul of #meteorites to add to the collection!
All the exciting science to come, so watch this space... #Nullarbor2023

Let's go, let's go, let's go!
05:45 and we're off - Melbourne to Port Wakefield today, before out to the Nullarbor tomorrow for #meteorite hunting...
🤞🏽 for fair weather, fly amnesty, & good hunting! #Nullarbor2023#MeteoriteHunt
Ever wondered what #rock samples look like when powdered ready for #diffraction experiments?
Today's #geology fun - 17 rocks ready to go at @ausynchrotron, including #Mars & #Moon rocks as well as #impact rocks from around the 🌏
We'll load them up for the robot to run later...
