9. Cripping Time: Experiencing chronic illness in academia (with Prof. Bethan Evans) Bodies @ Work · Episode

Thanks to Peter Ghin for interviewing me for his podcast about working with Energy Limiting Conditions @isrfoundation.bsky.social & a paper co-authored with @alisonallam.bsky.social @thelrm.bsky.social @equihealthfutures.bsky.social @catherinehale.bsky.social & Ana Bê Pereira tinyurl.com/mrx876c8

The book cover for The Feminist Art of Walking by Morag Rose. The text is in large sans serif font and is in the middle of the page. It is in white over an image of the sky with a cloudy sunset. On the left edge, vertical, is a cityscape, on the right some gorse bushes

So... here's why I havent posted much. Been writing a book! Thrilled to share The Feminist Art of Walking is out on Pluto October 20th www.plutobooks.com/978074535100... Thanks so much to everyone who has helped make this happen, I am excited and a bit scared for you to read it

Are you looking for a PhD project starting this year?

Hello Bluesky! 👋 This is the first post from the glaciology group at @geogdurham.bsky.social - give us a follow to hear about our icy research activities and adventures! We had a mini conference today to catch up on the brilliant range of contemporary and palaeo research by members of our group! ❄️

Proposed Experiment Could Clarify Origin of Martian Methane - Eos Curiosity’s detection of the gas, if atmospheric, could be an indicator of life on the Red Planet. But skeptics say further work is needed to rule out the rover itself as the source of the methane.

Is Mars emitting methane, or is the Curiosity rover smelling its own farts? eos.org/research-spo...

NOAA Datasets Will Soon Disappear - Eos NOAA has quietly reported that they will soon decommission 14 datasets, products, and catalogs related to earthquakes and marine, coastal, and estuary science.

Nine more datasets and products from NOAA, all related to marine and climate science, have been slated for decommissioning, including the "Billion Dollar Disaster" dataset.

Volcanic Eruption in Deep Ocean Ridge Is Witnessed by Scientists for First Time (Gift Article) Researchers diving in a submersible in the eastern Pacific realized that the landscape they had studied the day before had been glassed over by fresh lava.

**BIG NEWS in the geology world!** For the first time, scientists spotted an active eruption along the mid-ocean ridge!!

They visited the hydrothermal vent the day before, where a vibrant ecosystem thrived in the sweltering water. The next day, everything was gone. ⚒️🧪

The Liverpool MAGMA lab led by @janinekavanagh.bsky.social is also on Bluesky! Follow for lots of cool research/outreach updates 🌋🫶

Matching Magma Dikes May Have Different Flow Patterns - Eos A set of lab experiments involving a laser, gelatin, and xanthan gum explored how varying flow patterns between dikes with similar speeds and shapes could affect eruption predictions.

Magma might behave more like ketchup than water. New @aguadvances.bsky.social research by @janinekavanagh.bsky.social @liverpoolmagmalab.bsky.social explores how this could affect eruption predictions. eos.org/research-spo...

Santorini volcano probed for clues about next big explosion Scientists are investigating for the first time how dangerous the island's next big one could be.

Proposal writers, this is very much worth a read and a minute of your time - strong evidence that random grant allocation (above an agreed threshold) helps drive change…

(I say this as someone who dreads the gut-wrench of being on the wrong end of a random allocation process).
