This dispute isn’t just about pay or pensions. Casualisation ruins lives — it must end. #ucuRISING

Celebrating 70 years since the first ascent of Mt. Everest with the one who was there when it happened i.e. my grandpa kanchha Sherpa. I really like this picture as it includes two tenzings, celebrating the achievement of another tenzing 😅. #saveoursnow ICIMOD National Geographic Society

Now also offering the work to PhD students! I appreciate our stipends are low and the idea of extra money is appealing during this cost-of-living crisis, but I urge my fellow Leeds PhD to support strike action and not take on this work (which is a lot for little pay offered!)

Big thanks to The Paddler ezine for allowing Duncan Quincey and I to share our experience of kayaking in the name of science at Dona Lake in Nepal. If you want to hear more about what we got up to, you can read the article here: bit.ly/3R2Ia0r

Looking for a PhD project? Come join the ICE UNIL group! We have a fully funded PhD open looking at understanding Quaternary sediment dynamics at the global scale. Closing date October 1st. More details here: tinyurl.com/37ync9fu & here: wp.unil.ch/ice/

Are you a polar scientist? Do you identify as a woman? Have you conducted #fieldwork in the #Arctic, #Antarctica and/or the Third Pole? Help us document and gather empirical evidence on polar fieldwork experiences of women-identifying researchers! forms.gle/wy2HLziQHE9Tha…

📣2023 #ISFLeeds Award: @duncanquincey brings together researchers at University of Leeds, ICIMOD, Université de Lausanne, @UiBou & other S. Asian institutes to work on the challenge of securing mountain water resources. Funding exchanges, building capacity in key skills & supporting talented ECRs.

Just concluded a fruitful couple of weeks at Geography at Leeds, delving into low-cost sensor with Duncan Quincey and @LiamTaylorIce as part of @ISFLeeds #BRAINSTORM project. Also, grateful for the chance to connect with a diverse community of like-minded scientists. ICIMOD
