@Sarah_Lambart @EH_Cunningham Have fun!

@PHDcomics True, and unfortunately it's wrong if you are on a 9-month appointment.

Summer Vibes

Baby sheep.

@DrWendyRocks We moved five times when the kids were little. They've turned out fine, and our lives are better for our moves. In most cases we were 2000 miles from our parents. Take care and best of luck with your move!

@plinianMB It sounds super effective.

Today's GMT fail. Sort of Scottish.

@SophieCarrPhoto Yeah, I imagine!

@Earth_Sci_Jen Nice!

I got some funding! It’s not from particularly big or prestigious grants, but it’s a start after 3.5 years (and many failed applications) since starting a permanent job. It’s so much harder than I thought building your research even once you are lucky enough to be permanent!

@SophieCarrPhoto Are you in Iceland now?

@DrWendyRocks I'm sorry to hear that. Take care, both you and Brody!

@Sarah_Lambart I initially read this as "organic lherzolite".

@FaccendaManuele That sounds fun.

@ltelkins Wow, that's cool, I was just reading about the Falklands.

...and then they need to get it home, but sometimes land short and have to walk it in.

Stopped at a small island off the Falklands today. Imperial cormorants pull grass for their nests...(1/n)

@DrVasshe I’d settle for summers off and a 9 month salary.

I really really really believe all faculty in the US should form a union and strike until we get 12 month salary. 😂😂😂 But, lmao, I’m pretty sure this would piss off just about everyone in admin.

@SeismoSue I had something similar.

(The crescent is not the sun. The sun is the white orb, too bright for the camera even approaching totality. The crescent is some sort of diffraction effect in the atmosphere)

Interesting diffraction effects #unfiltered #Eclipse

@SophieCarrPhoto I’m heading to Hornstrandir next week, so I hope winter will hold off until then…

@LifeAfterMyPhD I think what surprised me is that when looking for a professor job, there is a pecking order, and people who go to higher status universities get jobs at lower status universities, so regardless of the quality, it's useful to go to a high status place.

The edge of Langjökull. I was going to hike up Okjökull, but it was crazy windy...
