I don't really have anywhere else to share this, but I got my first real data points of my PhD this weekend! What you're looking at is a chromatograph with labelled peaks corresponding to straight chain alkanes from leaf waxes, extracted from a Guatemalan lake sediment core #womeninstem 🌱👩‍🔬🧪🌍

Sometimes it's really nice to take a step back and just go to a concert. Susto and Houndmouth were incredible

Snowy few days here in St. Louis 💙🩵

Meatlug is here to remind you to drink some water, take your meds, and get some sleep!

He's decided my dish pan makes a good fort #Meatlug

Existential despair got you down? Here's a picture of my cat to maybe bring you some peace today

Meatlug my beloved

Biiiiiig yawn

Got rid of my Meta apps, so I guess BlueSky will be my spot to post pics of my cat. Please enjoy

Holy infant so tender and mild #cats

Your cat looks like my cat!

Hi! I'll be giving my first ever conference talk at #AGU24 this week! I'm a first year PhD student, but will be presenting results from my master's thesis that I wrapped up earlier this year. If you love paleoclimate and biogeochemistry stuff, come stop by Thursday at 4:50pm, room 102 A-B!

In my defense I did a lot of lab work this year

Some shots of the moon and Jupiter I took last night.
