Very honoured to receive this award, exactly 20 yrs since I taught my first geophysics practical. Thanks to all students & colleagues along the way @abdngeology @aberdeenuni @SEELeeds @GeologyLeics Will continue promoting #geophysics #mentalhealth #STEMeducation #disabilities
The 2024 RAS Higher Education Award goes to Dr David Cornwell of @aberdeenuni for making an outstanding and sustained contribution to undergraduate and postgraduate geophysics teaching over a number of years.
Well done Dr Cornwell!

Hectic first day at #cop28 already. Whatโs happened?
- countries agreed to get the loss and damage fund going
- many nations came forward with money for it
- uae $100m, uk ยฃ60m and USโฆ$17.5m. Green groups have called that last one โdisappointingโ
(And yes Iโm short)

Wow, this study is devastating for cynicism.
Here's a TL;DR:
In studies 1โ3, participants indicated they thought cynics would do better on cognitive tasks.
In studies 4โ5, cynics were tested and 1 SD of cynicism was associated with 0.25 and 0.17 SDs lower cognitive ability in studies 4 and 5, respectively.
In study 6, cynics were found to be
- less educated in 29/30 countries
- less literate in 28/30 countries
- less numerate in 29/30 countries
- less computer-literate in 23/26 countries
Cynicism is simply not smart.

A worldwide survey of 200k people finds cynical people are thought of as smarter... but that, in reality, cynics test lower on cognitive & competency tests.
As Stephen Colbert said: โCynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it.โ journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdfโฆ

Legendary broadcaster Sir Michael Parkinson has died at the age of 88.
Of the many incredible guests he interviewed over the years, he said boxer Muhammad Ali was his favourite.
