Great morning yesterday co-leading the @UOW @Healthy_Cities Ride2UOW from the northern suburbs. Great to see so many riders out, despite a windy morning, ending with a nice brekkie and an interview for @UOWTV !

Great to see @UOW now flying the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags! #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

Thank you all for the congratulatory messages last week when I received the 2022 Anton Hales Medal from @Science_Academy ! Before I share my thanks and what this means to me, I want to talk about the cognitive dissonance I've been feeling over the last two weeks... 🧵👇

Excited to be in Canberra about to hear about the incredible science of the newest @Science_Academy fellows at Science at the Shine Dome #ShineDome22

Very excited to be visiting @Laris_Schneider at ANU just in time to see the first analysis of #mercury in Dom Kpokro’s samples from Ivory Coast artisanal gold mining sites! @UowCac @uowresearch @AusMercury #MakeMercuryHistory

AI may be taking over the world but is still doesn’t understand my snarky emails…

Made good use of my weekend

Hello, old friend. I’ve missed you!
November 24, 2024 at 4:18 AM
10 years ago today, I defended my PhD thesis.
15 years ago today, I flew to Boston to start grad school.
20 years ago Sunday, I drove* to LA to start university.

This week has all the nostalgia milestones. What a journey it’s been!

*planned to fly but then 9/11 happened…

I’ve never been much of a sweet tooth (or much of a baker), so I went for a savoury option: salmon-en-croute 😋 #UOWBakeOff @UOW_VC

Earlier this week, I got some good professional news and my husband opened a bottle of bubbly 🍾 and ordered us a fancy meal 🥘 and for one night in 2021 I got to party like it’s 2019*

*which for the record is not nearly as fun as partying like it’s 1999 because I’m old & boring

Look what arrived just in time for the start of #NationalReconciliationWeek @ulurustatement ❤️

Today I gave a plenary at #UGPN2021 about the amazing collaborative #AtmosChemhashtag/AtmosChem" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#AtmosChem community I am lucky enough to be a part of. It was heart-wrenching to give this talk today of all days. #Boulder is the heart of #AtmosChem 💔

Yesterday I swam 4.5km to help the Slippery Seals raise money to fight MS. This effort was led by the amazing PhD students of @uowresearch School of Earth, Atmospheric & Life Sciences.

It’s not too late to support us!

Can’t wait to dig into this masterpiece! #NewBookDay 📚

At least they’re telling me who I really am... 😂

This is not to demean the success of the current fellows (who are all amazing!) or suggest the process is flawed. Rather, we all need to make sure deserving women are being nominated. The AS canvassing committee is looking for names RIGHT NOW. Send them some worthy candidates!

Catching up on emails and I found the @theAGU Atmospheric Sciences section announcement of new fellows and award winners. Congrats to all -- super deserving -- but friends, we need more women fellows!

I am "delighted" to announce that after 8 long years of persistence, I have reached a new professional milestone: 10 funding rejections from @arc_gov_au

To everyone who said "just keeping trying" - thanks, the reward is worth it.

Some thoughts in the 🧵... (1/7)

Missed this when it first came out: https://www.pnas.org/content/117/9/4609

A massive analysis of 1.5 million authors across the world over many decades shows women drop out of publishing at a higher rate than men AT ALL STAGES OF THEIR CAREERS. This is not just a pipeline problem.

Today is #WearItPurpleDay 2020! I’m proud to be part of the #UOWAllyNetwork working to make @UOW a safe and supportive environment for #LGBTQIA students and staff

I’m also joining the UOW Wear it Purple 2-week learning challenge. Today’s topic: #intersectionality
