Taphonomy of organelles and the origin of eukaryotes with @phil-donoghue.bsky.social @jameswclark.bsky.social @tweethinking.bsky.social Davide Pisani, John Cunningham [NERC GW4+ Jan 13]

Ground-truthing the boron isotope-pH proxy in biogenic silica with @michaelhenehan.bsky.social [NERC GW4+ Jan 13]

Apologies for copied Twitter handles that don't exist here (yet).. anyway, if you know of some talented MScs/BScs, tell them to come join our lovely department! 7/7

Application deadlines vary with each project. For those applying for the Bristol ones you need to select 'PhD Geology' when applying, and can copy the given PhD blurb in as the project description (silly centralised UoB application system makes little sense, sorry) 6/7

Fifth a fully-funded project with David Naafs here at UoB working on calibrating new molecular biomarker proxies for the climate www.bristol.ac.uk/media-librar..., with more going on Critical Zone geochemistry at Durham with Jotis Baronas (see www.jbaronas.com) .. to name a few! 5/7

Fourth fully-funded for home students with David Evans at University of Southampton using cutting edge methods to figure out how foraminifera calcify www.southampton.ac.uk/study/postgr... 4/7

Third is a mainly modelling project NERC UK student project with Lewis Alcott, together with me, Cait Witkowski, Tim Lenton and Erik Sperling on what has been key to making Earth planet habitable bit.ly/HabitableBri... . . 3/7

Second with me, @SophWestacott and @KRHendry at @UoBEarthScience is NERC-funded for UK students, trying to ground truth the boron isotope-pH proxy in biogenic silica with experiments and open ocean samples bit.ly/silicaB_Bris... .. 2/7

They're vile things.. except when sufficiently masked in mulled wine.
