It has just taken me 3 and a half days of troubleshooting to fix a problem in a model... Not sure if I should celebrate that it ended up being 2 lines of code to fix 🎉, or cry that it took me 3 and a half days to figure that out! 🤷‍♂️ #phdchat

Really enjoyed meeting everyone involved in the RaSP-SEA project (Risks and solutions to plastic pollution in SE Asia) last week. Excited to be joining the team as a #PostDoc in September after my PhD!

Jo Brand, comedian extraordinaire, translates my climate science for real people. As she says "If people like me have to get involved you know we are in deep trouble" Another brilliant video from Climate Science Breakthrough Short version 👇 Long version: youtu.be/lfc6WF0ToVY

Excellent model visualization showing the transport of #PlasticPellets lost from the Toconao container ship. As Oceana say: The spilled plastic may be out of the headlines, but it is not out of the ocean!
