I (try to) lift up other women in STEM and post about trees, drones, technologies and policies for addressing climate change, if you'd like a breath of fresh O2.

Spending the day calling around to try and find any previous colleagues and coworkers of Bonnie McBride, for a writing project I'm currently working on. If you knew her or know someone who might have, would much appreciate a DM 🙏 #exoplanets #astronomy #womeninSTEM

The irony of the yes Brexit voters being those with less tertiary education, left in a place where academics & researchers leave…
Not unlike climate deniers living on a low lying floodplain. 🤷🏻♀️

Having gone through that system to immigrate to the UK (11y ago), I know most folks would think of it as an investment. Where it falls down is the abysmal earning capacity & poor quality of life. Last year when we left the UK, all we had were little savings and health issues to show for it.

Methane is devastating our climate, but cutting it would be a huge (easy) win.
So why are emissions still going up?! 📈

If you're looking to support LGBT+ authors on the last week of Pride Month, allow me to suggest a BEAUTIFUL book that's sure to revolutionize the way you see the bugs in your backyard!
All profits go directly to helping queer people do cool science (since all of our current employees are LGBT+)! 😊
