I hope that whoever exploded this #confetticannon at #midnight for #NewYears really enjoyed watching it in the dark for all of 10 seconds. After 20 mins of picking bits up I barely made a dent. Just don’t do this 😓 . #plasticpollution #ConfettiCannonsHaveConsequences

If The Royal Parks are banning cross country running from #RichmondPark because it is damaging to the SSSI, when will they be banning dogs and cars from the park - as a matter of urgency? These two things cause way more stress and damage to the wildlife than a few runners.

Of all the shortsighted things The Royal Parks could have done... Of the most harm to public health for the least return to wildlife protection, this is about the pinnacle.. #detrimental

Ancient waves on Mars? 🌊 The ARCHIVED - Curiosity Rover team has spotted rippled rock textures in an unexpected spot! Explore more in this tour of the region narrated by Curiosity's project scientist Ashwin Vasavada. 🔗 More on what these clues tell us: go.nasa.gov/3XisXYu

#BrexitFoodShortages 🍅🥦🥕🌽🌶🥒🍆🌱 The TRUTH about fresh produce shortages. It’s ‘not’ the fault of Brexit or climate change or bad weather in Africa. Let the farmer who actually ‘grows the stuff’ explain. #HOMEGROWNFAIRTRADE

Today I got access to tools required for the Curiosity rover operations. I don't have a driver's license yet and it's funny to me that I am now eligible to operate a vehicle on Mars but not on Earth 😬

Today, I'm celebrating my 11th landiversary! 🥳 In this last year, I’ve surpassed 30km, spotted another meteorite, entered a new quadrant, and encountered my toughest climb yet. I've got more science-ing to do - so here's to more exploring on the Red Planet!

SUPER happy to announce that my first ever paper is out! Kirsten Siebach, @marslogander, Steve Banham and I looked at grain size in the Stimson sandstone in Gale crater to study sediment provenance + Mars paleoatmosphere: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

One Gusty afternoon in Gale crater... Some ripples formed, and can inform us about the ancient environment! Curiosity Rover See my #LPSC2025 poster here: lpsc2025.ipostersessions.com/Default.aspx?s…
