This is one of the ways we show up for each other, to build community and strengthen our networks while. Science is an iterative, collaborative practice.

To the people reviewing right now: thank you. To the people who suggest reviewers when they can't review: thank you.

Oh...and I submitted and defended my PhD 🎉 which explores how the Hg cycle has evolved throughout the Quaternary, and how these changes are recorded in terrestrial lake sediments...

Exploring the Quaternary mercury cycle - ORA - Oxford University Research Archive
Exploring how climate-driven processes impact biogeochemical cycles is critical for understanding how discrete components of the Earth system have interacted through time. Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal released into the atmosphere as a result of natural processes and more recently by human
