By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree.

Up to 45% will be single by choice.

Society will frame this as a crisis.
Governments will panic over birth rates.
This is about choice though…

It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Delighted, elated, thrilled, overjoyed… ❤️🫶🏻

On Monday I passed my viva and am now officially Dr Emma Harris!!!

A huge thank you to anyone who’s been a part of my journey over the last 4 years - I’ve loved it!

My PhD viva is on Monday!

I’m really looking forward to it, and excited to head back to London for a few days!

I got my nails done this week so I’m feeling ready to go 💯

Oh, and Taylor Swift got all her music back… what a time to be alive 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Missing the sulfate-bearing unit - been about a month since I was last “on” Mars!

Just finished day 3 of my new job & I am loving it!

It was a bittersweet decision to take a step away from academia, and it definitely wasn’t a straightforward or easy decision.

But the people, the team, the stability, the structure, the interesting work… 10/10 🫶🏻

I’ve had the best, most relaxing few days off after handing in my thesis.

And tomorrow I’m SO elated to be joining the @metoffice.bsky.social as a foundation scientist!!!

So excited to keep learning & evolving, and really looking forward to this next stage of my career.

I hand in my PhD thesis tomorrow!

Today I created my table of contents and my lists of figures & tables, checked my headings & all my captions.

About an hour ago I formatted & compressed the PDF. So… that’s it!

She’s good to go!

#NearlyPhDone
2 days (!!) until I hand in my PhD thesis!

Minor formatting setback. Every single reference had an incorrect DOI link… 7 hours later & I’ve updated them all 😮‍💨

Apart from that, it’s going well! Final formatting & read through tomorrow!

#NearlyPhDone
3 days (!!!) until I hand in my PhD thesis!

Today I compiled my entire thesis!

It’s a complete, whole entity.

And I’m so proud of it!

I bought a car today, and also read through 3 of 7 chapters. It’s been a good day!

Tomorrow I’ll be reading through the other 4 chapters and attempting to put them all together into one document without crashing Word… pray for me!

Absolutely obsessed with this pesky little (approx. 50 m) barchan dune that’s migrated over a little road in Peru & people have been driving around it making little tyre marks that look so similar to the rover tracks in HiRISE 🥹🥹

The last couple of days have seen a total overhaul of my final research chapter discussion and a much clearer conclusion!

This weekend I’ll be writing my introduction - it’ll be short & sweet (i 🧡 u Sabrina)

So it turns out ‘polish(ing) up figures’ entails realising a much better way to display the data & making a set of entirely new figures! Much to do!

With #LPSC2025 about to start, it's time to share what I've been working on during the last months and will be presenting at the conference.
This is a new high resolution 3D model of the Mont Mercou outcrop in Gale crater, that I made during my recent internship at LPG Nantes. #planetsci 🧵

I just finished my discussion / synthesis chapter so all that’s left to write is my introduction!

But first, I’m going to polish up some figures and revisit my literature review.

Definitely getting there but definitely not done!

1/4 of my discussion is written, and I’ve been making some figures for this section. I also made a cheeky little strat column for one of my research chapters because why not!

This week I plan on finishing my discussion.

Honestly? It’s getting pretty tough.

I’m juggling wrapping up all three research chapters & writing my discussion. Hoping to make some good progress with my discussion today… then it’s just the introduction to write.
