Happy launch anniversary to us! 🎊 #ESAJuice has been en route to Jupiter for a year now. Just a few more left to go 😅

Grateful for the incredible turnout at our event! Thank you to each attendee for contributing to our success. #farewell #Wavelength2024

FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀 Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station! Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑‍🚀 🧵

Our #review #paper on #earthobservation techniques for mapping #landslides is out on @SpringerGeo : doi.org/10.1007/s10346…

The salary for postdoctoral scientists is £36k. Science is global - if the UK is going to be 'the best country for science in the world', we need to be able to recruit the best scientists. Now, we might not be able to - only British scientists can apply.

Brilliant few days at @BirkbeckUoL for #ASB9 with @AstrobioSoc 🪐 If you’d told me 3 years ago I’d be speaking at an astrobiology conference I would’ve asked you to pinch me 😁

Happy 111th birthday to this little one

Fab few days visiting University of Manchester for the @UKPlanetary early career researchers meeting and University of Aberdeen for the @ScotSAGES Annual Science Meeting (my first conference!)- my SAGES presentation will be up on their website soon for interested parties 👀☄️🦠

That's a wrap! SAGES Annual Science Meeting was a great success; many thanks to all the brilliant presenters of talks & posters! Congratulations to the prize winners! Thanks to all the organisers, especially Carol, and all of the attendees! Fab venue.. thank you @aberdeenuni

Winchcombe meteorite ☄️ A team from @UofGGES are analysing the newly discovered meteorite. This includes @aepickersgill, @aineclareob & Dr Lydia Hallis with the help of PGRs @HollyHourston & @RocksInSPAAACE. More: bit.ly/3UKEek4 #IDWGIS

New snippet out for @GlasgowGist - seemed appropriate given my new beginnings in astrogeology researcg over at @UofGGES. A beginner-friendly guide to space rocks 🧐 Give it a read here: the-gist.org/2022/10/astrog…

Hello twitter, I'm looking for work! Sectors I'm interested in are space/intelligence, climate science, project co-ordinating, & astrophysics research. I would appreciate any pointers, retweets, DMs of companies I should look at, or forwards to friends hiring in these areas!🌌

This week's snippet is about direct air carbon capture by @HollyHourston Visit the-gist.org/2022/03/direct…

We’re proud to be backing the bid, convened by Prof Declan Diver of @UofGPhysAstro, to bring the @UKAEAofficial fusion power plant STEP to Ardeer! If you’d like to help, sign a letter of support at the link from our bid partners @North_Ayrshire below 👇

This just happened: colleague: "I am uncomfortable with the only woman in the room delegated to note taking, I can take over that task" me: *happy tears* ❤️

Are my for loops efficient? No. But do they work the first time I code them? Also no.

Not space but i just had to share

The @LHCbExperiment may be seeing evidence for new fundamental particles. Here’s a tweet-sized summary of what my colleagues have found and why we should be cautiously excited:

First day of the Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics today! Excited to present my poster later today on my current lab work in which I am obtaining light curves of transiting exoplanets and all the highs (and lows!) of observational astronomy 🌌🔭
