Hello! My name is Stacy and today is my @science_a_thon #DayOfScience!
I& #39;m a geologist who has spent the last 4 years investigating how mountains form. I& #39;m in a weird grey area just now, I& #39;m not quite a Dr but I don& #39;t have another job, but somehow still have lots to do! (1/12)

(2/12) This morning started with our @OU_EEE Monday Morning writing club. When you& #39;re busy all the time it can be hard to give yourself the brain space to do stuff like write papers. So we get together twice a week to do just that! 2hrs of writing in a supportive environment

(3/12) Today I& #39;m trying to write a paper on the work I did for my MSc. and it& #39;s been a while since I looked at the data! Thankfully past-Stacy wrote some nice code in @Rstudio and quick as a flash I can make all my plots again. Now to get on with writing up the results!
(4/12) The fuel of many a scientist is coffee, and I& #39;m no exception! I try not to use my coffee machine too much because I need to find a way of recycling the plastic capsules, but a treat at the start of the week is allowed, right?!
(5/12) Iâm doing some work looking at the impacts of the OU-BBC co-production Blue Planet II, which I think means I get to rewatch the incredible show! And I loved the similarity between the boat seen in Ep2 and my new Lego Research Vessel, which handily sits on my windowsill!
(6/12) I really enjoy cooking, but the joy of having a leftover meal ready for my lunch is a true joy. I highly recommend this one-pot dish of Teriyaki Chicken Noodles with additional broccoli from @BegumNadiya. More great science fuel!

(7/12) Time for another online meeting! Mondays are when the @OU_EEE Dynamic Earth Research Group meet up for a chat. Often we& #39;re discussing papers, troubleshooting, talking science, but today was a chance to catch up and check in with everyone, because that& #39;s just as important.
(8/12) Something positive that has come out of #WFH is the increased access to online science lectures. People from across the globe can now give and listen to both live and recorded talks, such as this fabulous @GeolSoc Public Lecture on Science Communication by @iamhazelgibson.
(9/12) With lots of meetings, talks and science achieved today I decided to treat myself and finish my working day a little early. But where am I off to? Youâll have to see below! How am I getting there, as a non-driver in Milton Keynes? By bike of course!
(10/12) Exercise is so important, especially these days. And climbing/bouldering is very much like science; itâs about problem solving, you often fail, but stick with it and youâll feel great when you get it right!

(11/12) Another hobby of mine is taking photos of Lego! I firmly believe that you can communicate any scientific concept using Lego. So this month Iâve been doing my own version of the #Inktober #InkySciPatterns challenge with Lego! See my #Bricktober #BrickySciPatterns thread!

(12/12) Monday = Quiz day! 90 continuous minutes of great British quiz shows. And every once in a while, it pays to be a geologist
