Please retweet if you want Labour, LibDems and Greens to cooperate at the next election in order to oust the Tories and introduce PR, so we never again have to endure a Tory Government with an eighty seat majority, secured with only 43% of the popular vote.

🌟JOB ALERT🌟Fancy working with me @UniversityLeeds modelling convection and magnetic field generation in Earth's core? Then check this out jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.asp…. Please pass this on and get in touch if interested!
New paper from @yaelengbers reporting first palaeointensities from island of St Helena within the current South Atlantic Anomaly. Guess what? They are low... dx.doi.org/10.1029/2021JB023…

Our new paper: dynamo constraints on the long term evolution of earth's magnetic field strength doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggab342. It's taken a long time, but I have loved working on this project with @andybiggin, @RKBonoPmag, Julien Aubert, Sam greenwood and Domenico Meduri.

Great to see this article in Eos on Domenico Meduri's new paper! Dynamo sims are now capable of reproducing palaeomagnetic behaviour to a better degree than previously possible. eos.org/articles/how-geodyna…

@yaelengbers, our PhD student just published her first paper in @PNASNews together with @RKBonoPmag and @andybiggin. pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pna… . #paleomag #southatlanticanomaly #sainthelena

Hancock's just stated that he wants to change the rules to fit with Cummings' behaviour, then apply it retrospectively to everyone else. Seems like a good way to make Govt policy. #dailychaosbriefing

I see you've deleted this @sajidjavid. Don't worry I saved a screenshot so the British public will always remember you now support "trashing democracy" as long as it furthers your career. I'm sure you won't mind people retweeting your fine words.

Our @LivUniGeomag are at prestigious @royalsociety #SummerScience exhibition with their #magnetictothecore exhibit. Pop over to Stand 10 and check out their custom-made magnetometer which measures the magnetic memory of rocks bit.ly/2FIaM9G

Look at these scientists hard at work. The globe is being set up, ikea furniture put together and truss is being built. #magnetictothecore #summerscience #licencetodrill #licencetobuildikeafurniture – at London, England

Fancy working in the DEEP group with PI @andybiggin and myself? 37-month PDRA position using numerical dynamo models to explain long-term variations of Earth's magnetic field. Go here for details: recruit.liverpool.ac.uk/pls/…

We've reached new levels of efficiency in the dolomites and can sample in 20 seconds as this video demonstrates...
