It's East and South East Heritage Month in the UK! 🥳
I will be running an event featuring three amazing activists who are ESEA and LGBTQ+. The event is free to attend and will be held online. Please repost this so more people can know about it!

If anyone is interested, the paper from my postdoc I left (coming up to 3 years now?!) got published: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Just FYI I've forgotten everything and so removed from academia now, so please direct any questions to @volcanojenni.bsky.social @davidmpyle.bsky.social
WELCOME TO VOLCAKNOWLEDGE!
The podcast exploring how volcanoes interact with nature culture and society, featuring new guests every episode. Hosted by @smitchellscience.bsky.social
Season 3 is JUST around the corner!! 🌋 So stay tuned for an exciting first episode with some VERY famous geology...
The symposium is free to attend and abstracts are free to submit, although there will be some social events and field excursions for which expenses will be collected locally in cash. Abstracts and registrations are still open!

We are thrilled to announce that the meeting will feature a keynote from Patricia Mothes from Instituto Geofísico of the Escuela Politécnica Nacional (IG-EPN @igepnecuador.bsky.social ), who has a wealth of experience on each of the symposium themes, and is sure to provide some terrific insights.
An advertising flyer for a scientific symposium called "Volcanology in Practice". The flyer consists of a semi-transparent background image of Myoko volcano, Japan, overlain by text which reads: "www.thevolcano.world Volcanology in Practice international research symposium 7–10 October 2025 Niigata University, Japan" Beneath the text is a QR code which directs to the website. Logos of two Niigata University departments are included at the top of the image. On either side of the QR code is a logo for Niigata University and IAVCEI, respectively.
Are you a volcanologist or working in an adjacent field? Consider signing up for Niigata University’s 1st international symposium on “Volcanology in Practice”:

This Pride I want to connect with and amplify more trans people who work in nature/ecology/conservation so please say hi and do a little introduction if you're trans and work with plants, animals, fungi etc. I'll repost and create a starter pack if enough people respond 🏳️⚧️
I'll be on the roster as a Flood Warning Duty Officer by August and will be appreciating the close relationship we have with the Met Office in order to make the important decisions of issuing flood alerts or warnings.
True, we are experiencing understaffing etc ourselves but not to this degree.
Probs the only time I wish for an edit button 😂 I am finding it funny though.
I make one spelling mistake 😂

I shouldn't have said anything 🤔
Not cool 👎
At least I'm consistent in being terrible at proof-reading messages before I sending them 🤷🏾♀️
Goddamn I only realised I meant to spell "unapologetically" 😂
Happy Pride Month to the queerly inclined 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Make a homophobe/queerphobe/transphobe mad by being apologetically you 🫶🏾
I made these for five reasons:
• Trans Pride 🏳️⚧️
• Aesthetic jewellery 🌿🧝♀️✨️
• Science communication through #SciArt
• To afford trans-affirming costs
• A niche joke about kerning
I will not elaborate on the order of importance
Today's the big day! There are 22 planned protests all over the UK and even one abroad!

If you still vote for, or are a member of the UK Labour Party after reading this, you have no morals, empathy or awareness of the Holocaust*.
What a nasty bunch the fundamentalists of the English Labour Party are. Solidarity to UK Queer, & especially trans, people.
Its more common in chalk stream areas (Hertfordshire where I'm based, and Yorkshire have the most chalk streams) but also can be gravel, which is more complicated.
Because you can't pump it out like river or surface water flooding. A colleague described it as "like trying to get rid of the water from an olympic swimming pool with a spoon" 😅
Its when a natural underground resevoir and the water table is at capacity and comes back up from the ground. Its because we had the downpours back in September and a wet winter (this is the 2nd year in a row now!). Groundwater flooding can stay around for months and there isn't an easy fix...
I was considering writing some thoughts to help cis people understand what's going on and what's needed... but I see who likes my posts about trans news and I can extrapolate who doesn't, so what's the point? Other than a very few allies who already know the things, who's going to read it?
If wondering what cards, its Digimon Card Game. An obvious focus is getting all the volcano-themed Digimon.

Yes I've been away for a while. Don't expect me to increase my presence here.
Anyway updates:
• Came 8th place in my category for a national archery competition
• Got a local recognition award at work
• Almost a Flood Warning Duty Officer
• Embraced my inner nerd and started collecting cards
Fortunately quiet yes! But groundwater flooding has been persistent, so I'm still a little bit busy 😅
