Fantastic to be in Ljubljana, Slovenia at the @unesco.org meeting on “Shaping the Future through Science Diplomacy.”
The meeting brought together regional partners, science diplomats to advance science diplomacy for climate resilience, emerging tech, & the management of shared natural resources.

I'll recommend your “Volcanoes: 10 Things You Should Know”! I’m really enjoying how accessible & engaging it is. Each of the 4 chapters I’ve read so far beautifully blends storytelling with scientific facts & practical knowledge about volcanoes! It would be a fantastic read for young scientists!

I am now heading home after an incredible two days at the UNECE Resource Management Week at the United Nations in Geneva! Gained valuable insights from experts across Member States on critical minerals, rare earth extraction from coal, and natural hydrogen's role in a Just Energy Transition.

Meta also used 3 of my publications😯Years ago, @AmazonUK stole my @durhamearthsci.bsky.social PhD thesis & listed it for sale on Kindle without my consent. I publicly requested that they remove it.Even though the university was aware that they had stolen multiple theses, they still got away with it😡

Today,I am filled with gratitude as I celebrate another year on my birthday! For the 1st time in many birthdays,I’ve finally let go of the constant worry about“catching up”I’m content with my path, at peace & filled with enthusiasm for the exciting possibilities the future holds

I had a great time this week at the Colloquium of African Geology conference #CAG29 in Windhoek, Namibia!
