After an amazing year, this week I said a very fond farewell to @OxfordSparks. It has truly been a dream working on so many amazing projects and with such a lovely team! 💛Here are a few snippets of my favourite memories. @mplsoxford @UniofOxford

One of my final projects with @OxfordSparks had a surprising personal twist. My twin & I have been part of @TedsProject research since birth. It was by sheer coincidence (and a great privilege) to meet researcher @Sinzi_O & work on this video together. 👉 bit.ly/3PmvWh8

🎬 How can #IdenticalTwins help us find out more about the causes of #bullying? Is there a link between Developmental Language Disorders (#DLD) and peer victimisation? Watch our new video with @Sinzi_O @OxExpPsy. Full version on YouTube ➡️@OxfordSparks. @TedsProject #TEDS 1/2

Could there be a better light show for me than one about the evolution of life on Earth? 🦖 From mammoths and dinosaurs to ammonites and sea turtles, this was a truly beautiful display! #FossilFriday (sort of)

Absolutely loved creating this video with the fantastic @ElodieFreymann about her amazing research! Chimpanzees as doctors....? 🌿🐒 Watch the video to find out more 👇

Chimpanzees share many of our behaviours and now it seems that they may also use plants as medicine 🐒 Join @ElodieFreymann in Uganda to see how chimpanzees use forest pharmacies to treat illness and wounds. 🎥 youtu.be/uYFgEIONtxo @oxford_anthro @UniofOxford

One of my favourite documentaries filmed with @OxfordSparks! It was great to be able to showcase geology and Earth's precious resources. Also... spot my shadow abseiling into the cave!
OxfordSparks@OxfordSparks

Only 3% of the Earth’s water is available as freshwater, so how can we protect this valuable resource beneath our feet? 💧 @ClaudiaBerton14, Chris Day and Marina Flores explain... 🎥 youtu.be/ihOvOEX4HsU @OxUniEarthSci @UniofOxford @WookeyHole @mplsoxford

Very proud of this video that I have produced with @OxfordSparks and @KaripapGomez, who is an amazing storyteller! Discover clouded leopard research in Borneo! 🎥 youtu.be/9ZyM6YOppc8?si…

Clouded leopards are perfectly adapted to the dense forests of Asia, but this habitat is under pressure. Join @KaripapGomez in Borneo to find out how researchers are using genomes to study their movements! 🐆 🎥 youtu.be/9ZyM6YOppc8 @OxfordBiology @WildCRU_Ox @UniofOxford

I am very proud to have written this lovely video, brilliantly presented by @tompavey_ about his research, which is helping to inform lion conservation 🦁 And it involves fossils - what more could I ask for! Special thanks to James Lee-Warner for his pro editing skills too!
OxfordSparks@OxfordSparks

Fossils suggest that lions once roamed across the Northern Hemisphere, but populations have dwindled since the last ice age. Was climate change part of the story? @tompavey_ is trying to find out!🦁 🎥youtube.com/watch?v=psG_-u… @OxfordBiology @UniofOxford @WildCRU_Ox @mplsoxford

At a baby shower over the weekend, I was asked what I do. For the first time in my life, when I said "Palaeontologist (and sci commer)" I was asked.... "Oh, like Ross from Friends?" Does this mean I've made it?! 😂

Huge thanks also to @NHMdinolab for being a super supervisor during the challenges of lockdown and opening up the world of South Africa's cynodont fossils for me!
