Another illustration for NatReviews Earth & Environment that came out last month, on Anthropogenic impacts on the Yellow River Basin. Love seeing them published! #sciart

My second PhD paper has *finally* come out of preprint. 🙌
Breathing a massive sigh of relief…

I had a few obstacles thrown in for good measure. One was being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, which tried its best to take me out in 2023. And from then on a surprising amount of thesis was written/edited from a hospital bed 🫠

Big news (& a little late in posting)…last month I defended my thesis and I’m now Dr Foster! 🩺🌋

Some fun news: the first Nat Reviews Earth & Environment article I illustrated is available online! Always fun and a privilege to work on science illustrations 🎨
Go check it out here: t.co/QlsirytqV4 …The evolution of Earth’s early continental crust 🌍

A fun, left-field project with the Earth Sci crew at @durhamearthsci.bsky.social: we built & tested projectile motion datasets for teaching physics, complete with experiments & code. Lovely to see my illustrations published too!

Back from an incredible #EGU25! Huge thanks to everyone who came to my workshop yesterday. Seeing your scientific worlds in map form reminded me how much we share—same journeys, same ups and downs. Grateful to be part of this amazing community 🗺️ 💛

‼️ New paper alert! Putting my research hat back on… here’s a pre-print about the sintering of small glass particles. We think it demonstrates what’s going on in the shallow sub-surface of silicic #volcanoes! Ash + sintering = lava = hybrid eruptions!

Sketches from @drlperezdiaz.bsky.social workshop ‘Draw them in’! I loved her messaging that you can learn a lot from others, as an artist/illustrator too, this is very important to me! #EGU25 #EGUart

I’m SO excited and grateful to be one of the artists in residence at @eurogeosciences.bsky.social this year! Looking forward to lots of discussions about #geoart 🌋🦖
You can read more about it here t.co/hNC8fnU13N and introduce yourself to Liliane, another artist in residence!
