- Still smiling after a busy week at #SETACVienna2025. Lots of interesting discussion - I particularly enjoyed the sessions integrating #policy and #scientific advances which opened some new lines of thinking for me 🤔. Now to go home and digest it all! @setac.bsky.social
- Hello Vienna 👋 Excited for the first day of talks and posters at #SETACVienna We are presenting across the week on #contaminants in crops 🌾 honey 🍯 and manure 🐖 - come and find out more about ongoing work in our group @envleeds.bsky.social

- I can't think of a better way to start your week than talking about #soils, #sewage sludge and emerging #contaminants - delighted to host Jo and Natasha from @fidrango.bsky.social at @envleeds.bsky.social and looking forward to continuing discussions on this topic 🌱🚜
- Excited to share our ongoing research @envleeds.bsky.social ky.social at the first night of the Science Café, part of @otleyscience.bsky.social y.social! 🧪 ‘Radishes on Prozac’ sparked great discussions on chemical use, and having my mum there made it even more special! #publicengagement #family🌱
- It has been a pleasure to be part of the panel for the #water@leeds Water Women Award @universityofleeds.bsky.social 💦 “We’re surrounded by inspirational colleagues, who deserve to be recognised and celebrated as role models.” water.leeds.ac.uk/news/water-w...
- 🌟 Celebrating #WomenInSTEM on International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🚀🔬 I have the privilege to collaborate with brilliant female scientists and colleagues in STEM @envleeds.bsky.social who are pushing boundaries and solving global challenges🌍💡 #IDWGS #womeninscience #STEMForAll
- Interesting to see that #RHS will use compost created from human waste as a soil improver Use of 'humanure' has lots of benefits and any potential risks from residual chemicals will be minimised as the reuse loop is small & composting will take place www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
- Great opportunity to share preliminary findings from our @carersinstemm.bsky.social survey The seminar led onto really interesting discussions about current support available for carers v. what carers actually need to participate in meetings/conferences 🧪. Thanks to Nathan Mayne for hosting!
- Thank you to the @universityofexeter.bsky.social Department of Physics & Astronomy’s Astrophysics Group for hosting @carterlj.bsky.social for an afternoon to discuss how we can better support academic carers who travel and preliminary results from our Carers in STEMM #survey
- Good morning Cornwall. What a view to wake up to ⛵️🌊🐚
- 12 hours of travel today … enough time to edit 3 manuscripts, review 1 paper and comment on a thesis, right?! Chocolate 🍫 and caffeine ☕️at the ready!
- Please help us by sharing available grants / travel funders that enable carers to travel and join meetings. Societies, conferences, institutes - all input welcome 🙏 We are compiling a list to make a resource on our carersinstemm.co.uk website
- As part of #CarersInSTEMM we are working to highlight available #funding and #grants for #academic carers wishing to participate in meetings, conferences & workshops. Please share links / information you are familiar with so we can try to increase the reach of these opportunities. Thank you!
- My 89 year old granny started cutting out and sending me newspaper articles when she saw something that mentioned soil or she thought was related to my research ✉️ 15 years later I’m still receiving post 😊❤️
- Delighted to share PhD student Di Wu's paper - published now in J. Hazardous Materials. Our results highlight the gender-specific toxicity of polystyrene microplastics to zebrafish health - female zebrafish are more affected than males 🐟 Check it out here 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- New paper published from my PhD student Di Wu showing that polystyrene microplastic pollution adversely impacts female zebrafish more than males www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @carterlj.bsky.social Free version here if you have a paywall: eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/220647/
- Really impressed by BlueSky so far, enjoying content from friends / colleagues / collaborators 😀 I would like to tap into wider #research networks - in particular in areas related to global challenges, #pollution, circular economy, #AMR. Suggestions for people to follow / starter packs welcome 🙏
- Hello BlueSky! If you’re interested in finding out about our research on the fate and effects of emerging #contaminants in the #environment at UoLeeds 💊or work as part of 1/3 of @carersinstemm.bsky.social to support those balancing #academic careers and caring responsibilities give me a follow 🙋♀️👋
