We're half way through 2022. A good time to do a stocktake. Go through your diary and review what you've achieved. You've probably done less than you planned but more than you remember. Looking forward. What are your priorities for the next six months? Put some dates in the diary

We are the first human beings to see a Mars sunset. It’s quite a thought Credit: NASA

Sometimes you do science and sometimes you make goofy comics for science. Either way, I hope you're excited for the first ever International Firn Workshop! Please enjoy these #FirnWorkshop comics and soon-to-be stickers... ❄️🧊

@RafaelSabelli @faultscarp THIS is the most underrated tweet

Someone sent me a bag of sand with exactly zero context. I appreciate the gesture?

How do we know that we’re undergoing unprecedented anthropogenic climate change? Explore the science of climate change with our newest short film about how we can use our understanding of climate science to propose solutions to the current crisis. bit.ly/ClimateChangeBI

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are increasing dramatically. But is this a new phenomenon? In our newest short film, see how scientists are using ice core samples to reconstruct Earth’s climate history. bit.ly/ClimateChangeBI

How do we know that Earth’s climate is changing rapidly? In our newest short film, hear from researchers, including soil scientist Asmeret Asefaw Berhe, about how we know what we know about Earth’s changing climate and how we can solve climate challenges. bit.ly/ClimateChangeBI

Woot woot! There’s about to be a lot more 🇦🇶🧊 in my life. This $25 million center will enable some amazing new 🌍🔬and train a new and more diverse generation of 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬! Stay tuned! nsf.gov/news/special_r…

Hey look at this!! Lots of exciting science about to happen@OSUCEOAS @osu_ice today.oregonstate.edu/news/oregon-st…

@ChaiBiskoot29 36 and hoping to finish up this year! Go get it!

Just want someone to tell me it's okay to start your PhD at 30 😭

Red horizon on the polar plateau, 6am at Concordia Station on top of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, more than 3km above the continental bedrock below. Ice cores from nearby Dome C revealed the last 8 ice ages going back over 740k years @_IPEV @ItaliAntartide @esa pic Cédric Albert

Feeling very proud and inspired by all the amazing queer folks on my timeline. Happy #Pride #PrideInPolarResearch Photo: Erik Jepsen/UC San Diego

Delightfully clear skies in Corvallis this morning! Poke your head out and see the #LunarEclipse2021

This is one of my favorite weird optical illusions in astronomy. When it’s fully eclipsed, the Moon suddenly really looks 3D! #LunarEclipse2021 #LunarEclipse

Even if you’re fully vaccinated, the CDC recommends not asking graduate students how long they have left until they graduate.

Mike was the best of America, someone who instinctively put himself out for others, a lifetime commitment. He felt no mission was too hard, no challenge beyond trying, and that we should always be ready to serve. I will miss my friend. wsj.com/articles/to-th…

there isn't really an "in" but for me it's this this ice runway at Alan Hills in Antarctica

Random thought: Lo-fi helps me science. I’m sure I’m not alone.
