Two stories juxtaposed on the BBC website... sigh.

Anyone else spot the irony here?

It still gets used sometimes, normally in the context of a FID being a person undertaking fieldwork South. Some phrases like "FID stare" have persisted also.

🎉Congratulations 🎉 to Prof Kate Hendry @krhendry.bsky.social who has been awarded The Geological Society's Bigsby Medal for eminent services to geology.

We already knew she was a top tier scientist, but now it's official!
A photo of Prof Kate Hendry, smiling at the camera. She is wearing sunglasses and a woolly headband. She's sat in front of a calm ocean with a forested hill behind her to the right.

Thanks @w8rbler.bsky.social - that's very helpful! Strange that two candidates did not reply....

oceanandice.bsky.social
Yes, I like that we can rank candidates not just vote for one - gives lots of scope to express our opinions clearly!

There are some splendid fountains in Cambridge, e.g. the one in Trinity College. Not sure anything to compete with that walrus though! Maybe we should try to introduce some penguins to it… 🐧🤣

Last night we were breaking through sea ice, in the dark, in blizzard conditions. My respect for the skill of the officers and crew of the ship just reached a new level…!

A @bas.ac.uk tradition... when the ship departs Rothera Research Station for the last time, the winterers remaining on base light flares to bid us farewell.

They will now continue their science and activities on base throughout the winter, while we proceed back to sea to continue ours.

Apple Watches are amazing gadgets, and can tell you the time of sunrise and sunset for wherever you are in the world... this time of year in Antarctica, the calculation is relatively simple.... 🤣

Check out our latest and greatest on Antarctic glacial melt and its impact on marine life, led by the awesome Jack Pan!

Perfectly-timed publication, given that I'm currently in the Antarctic gathering more data on these things.....!!

Impact of glacial meltwater on phytoplankton biomass along the Western Antarctic Peninsula - Communications Earth & Environment
Increased glacial melt is strongly correlated with phytoplankton chlorophyll-a, according to analysis of remote sensing, reanalysis products, and field observations from the West Antarctic Peninsula.
