Not a bad distraction from the devils elixir! 🍸

Another illustration for NatReviews Earth & Environment that came out last month, on Anthropogenic impacts on the Yellow River Basin. Love seeing them published! #sciart

Once upon a time, the platform formerly known as Twitter was a vibrant meeting-place where scientists, the public, official orgs and more besides could exchange knowledge. I set out to find out how effective it could be for disseminating geoscience info

My second PhD paper has *finally* come out of preprint. 🙌
Breathing a massive sigh of relief…

Thank you! ☺️

I’m SO grateful for the support throughout, but especially over the last two years, & to my supervisors @fabianwadsworth.bsky.social, @htuffen.bsky.social & Madeleine. A huge thank you to my examiners @richardjbrown.bsky.social & @volcanologist.bsky.social for helping me end on such a high!

I had a few obstacles thrown in for good measure. One was being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, which tried its best to take me out in 2023. And from then on a surprising amount of thesis was written/edited from a hospital bed 🫠

Big news (& a little late in posting)…last month I defended my thesis and I’m now Dr Foster! 🩺🌋

🚨 NEW EPISODE OUT! 🚨 It's time to talk scientific illustration in the world of volcanoes and geology with @geologytalk.bsky.social , Annabelle Foster!

Full episode available to watch or listen now! (Link in bio)

Some fun news: the first Nat Reviews Earth & Environment article I illustrated is available online! Always fun and a privilege to work on science illustrations 🎨

Go check it out here: t.co/QlsirytqV4 …The evolution of Earth’s early continental crust 🌍

Nooo I hate AI. Use me, I’m a scientific illustrator, I would never glitch like this 😉🤗

We're back for a third season! And now with a new logo and 10 new episodes coming each week over the next few months.

@volcaknowledge.bsky.social has just joined #BlueSky So please give a share and a follow to help us spread the good 🌋 word!

Tomorrow we take you to country FULL of great geology!

We think applying to grad school should be free. App fees create barriers to equity in academia—especially in the US, where students can pay $1,000+ just to be considered. Even waivers don’t fix this. We make the case in our Nature piece: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Thank you SO much to you & @richardjbrown.bsky.social for a lovely viva and discussion! It was such an enjoyable way to reflect on my PhD journey 🌋🤗

Science artist @geologytalk.bsky.social drew Figure 14, which highlights our ideas about the structure and evolution of submarine lava domes! 🌋

Thank you, Sam! Such a fab paper and team to work with! So happy to see this published 🌋🎨

Cristobalite and diktytaxitic textures are common in lavas. Do they influence rock properties? We try to answer this question by measuring rocks from submarine volcano Havre 🌋
With @smitchellscience.bsky.social, Rebecca Carey, @alteringrocks.bsky.social

A fun, left-field project with the Earth Sci crew at @durhamearthsci.bsky.social: we built & tested projectile motion datasets for teaching physics, complete with experiments & code. Lovely to see my illustrations published too!

Back from an incredible #EGU25! Huge thanks to everyone who came to my workshop yesterday. Seeing your scientific worlds in map form reminded me how much we share—same journeys, same ups and downs. Grateful to be part of this amazing community 🗺️ 💛

Thank you so much for coming! Your map looks amazing 🤯🥰

Starting soon!

Paper sculpting short course at #EGU25 by Liliane Burkhard! I tried to make a representation of how I perceive the conference layout as a first time EGU-er! #EGUart

My #EGU25 World of Research map is filling up! Add yours if you’d like your work to be represented in my final art piece! 🎨

Thank you so much for dropping by Penny! Was lovely to see you! 🎨🌋

‼️ New paper alert! Putting my research hat back on… here’s a pre-print about the sintering of small glass particles. We think it demonstrates what’s going on in the shallow sub-surface of silicic #volcanoes! Ash + sintering = lava = hybrid eruptions!

Thank you Mike! 🙏
It was super fun working with you! 🎨🌋

Want a (*slightly* inaccurate) geological field notebook sticker for your actual geological field notebook? I’m giving them out at #EGU25 📖🌍

My friend Tamina drew this adorable sketch from my photo! 😭 It's so cute.
