Excited to have the first paper of my PhD out! TLDR; We challenge the notion that deep ocean glacial deoxygenation was caused by a stronger biological pump, instead highlighting the important, often underappreciated role of oxygen disequilibrium. @OxUniEarthSci @rhodes_trust

@RoxanaShafiee @MelJLeng @BritGeoSurvey If it isn't too late I can supply you with some line drawings of solitary and chain diatoms designed to be coloured in!

Another request! Does anyone have any line drawings of diatoms suitable for colouring in? Doing an outreach event on diatoms for the @BritGeoSurvey open day and want something for the youngest to do... #diatoms Thanks!

@Ellie__Jameson @RoxanaShafiee They're gorgeous! I love them all but would say the green guy with the red flagella is my fave.

@RoxanaShafiee @ecliff93 Thank you

👋🏽 Hi there science friends, it’s #WorldBookDay 📚🌎. Here are some great books on science, scientists and society. 💫

@StephenAtHome if you're in the UK soon, head up to Oxford for the Tolkien exhibit at the Bodleian library!! Original Tolkien doodles, maps, paintings and writing. Heaven on earth. bodleian.ox.ac.uk/whatson/whats-…

@firstdogonmoon Bit harsh to the poor old OBP! They're only trying to maintain genetic diversity between Tassie and mainland eucalypts... and not get eaten by murderous sugar gliders. #BirdOfTheYear

@firstdogonmoon I guess I will have to buy the book then. you win. (I still voted OBP!)

@firstdogonmoon ok, sorry Brenda. (should have looked at the shop more recently!) regardless, magpies 1, penguins 1... cockatoos 0

@firstdogonmoon How come we can only buy a magpie tea towel then?

Our #FridayFeature bird is the Superb Parrot, endemic to south-eastern Australia it can be found in NSW & VIC. birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/s…

World first video of a swift parrot feeding its kids in a nest box- the #internet paid for this box!

@brenda_chat10 @leighsales and here is a great (i.e. cheapish) way of making pistachio paste!! roadtopastry.com/blog/recipes/c…

@NaomiAKlein - an 'Australian' issue that needs international voices - no more exemptions for the Adani coal mine marineconservation.org.au/petitions/137/…

@Lin_Manuel Helpless is beautiful! Best surprise waking up in Oz this morning. Thank you!!

#qanda factcheck for @TheIPA ... Real science is not about facts - science is always evolving and that is why science has progressed society

Your daily dose of cute. Gang Gang on Cape Otway.

Fast-tracking the Carmichael coal mine is a bad idea. Here are four environmental reasons why: theconversation.com/four-environme…
