We also worked with @yorkdalesrt.bsky.social and Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England. It was great to hear about their citizen science initiatives and to get involved with training Gem the search dog! (2/2)

Last week, I attended the @ukpolarnetwork.bsky.social's PolarSTEP field course. Given that we learnt about the importance of social media in science comms (and that I have more to share than 250 characters worth!), I've made a snazzy slide deck to share what we got up to. Check it out below (1/2):

I’m at Trinity College in Oxford this week for the @igsoc.bsky.social British Branch meeting. I’ve been presenting the research plan for my upcoming chapters, and have enjoyed seeing familiar faces and meeting new people in the cryosphere community. Baylie the college cat is also a highlight! 🐱

Beyond science, the CPOM team have been enjoying activities like Bakewell tart baking, watercolour painting, and flying our new drone, Pammy!

I’ve been at this year’s annual @cpom-uk.bsky.social meeting this week, where I’ve had the opportunity to share what I’ve been working on during my first year. It’s been great to see familiar faces again and hear what everyone has been up to.

Kicking off September conference season with @ukpolarnetwork.bsky.social’s UK Arctic Science conference at @northumbriauni.bsky.social this week. Had a great time listening to how ECRs can contribute to the upcoming International Polar Year and why it’s important that we get involved!

Really enjoyed being part of today's panel for the @unesconow.bsky.social Groundwater Youth Network's event about glacier-groundwater interactions and youth involvement! Always interesting to hear about different scientific and social perspectives on glacier preservation globally.
