New year and some big personal news! 🥳
In March I will be joining the University of Stirling as a lecturer in Earth and Environmental Chemistry. I can’t believe how lucky I am to get to set up a research group in such a beautiful place, finally returning (almost) to where I grew up after 20 years!

I like this one: www.nercgw4plus.ac.uk/projects-202...
There's a brilliant biogeochemist on it too :D
Haha sorry Pete! 😆

It’s been a while since I was active here, but I’m back yay with a plug for a new paper: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... When I first worked on this I didn’t understand why my very air sensitive siderite wasn’t oxidising in some tests, we show that it was being stabilised by organic acids.
