#Introduction post!

This is my account where I can be a bit anonymous and talk about parts of my life that I can't do elsewhere, mainly in regards to #LGBTQ+. That probably sounds worse than it is, and hopefully I'll be able to write more about it.

I do #nerdy stuff (points at dalek: "Oh look, it's R2D2. I loved him in Star Trek!").

I love to build stuff from scratch; doesn't matter if it's a piece of furniture, an RGB music reactive lighting setup or a pacman from a cereal box and hot glue.

Continued thread

Now those are the discussions you do it for 🤓! Sadly not many people #nerdy enough to have the understanding to say useful things in such discussions. So extra fun when you do find some and this #event proved great for that!

See you guys next week at @tdose! Don't forget to come, no doubt it'll be fun too looking at the schedule (which is up now 😉).

Two #basic #things to #know for #GDGT #lovers like me:
- These #nerdy #membrane-spanning #lipids are #ubiquitous in the #environment
- #GDGTs may have #multiple and #mixed #sources

If like a younger me* you apply #TEX86 in (#paleo)prodelta #deposits, be prepared to obtain #spooky #results from this #GDGT-based #paleotemperature #ClimateProxy!

@gdgt

Are #nerdy #membrane-spanning #lipids produced by #bacteria and #archaea admitted on #Mastodon?

These lipids, named glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (#GDGTs), are my favorite #biomarkers for their usefulness as #climatic and #environmental #indicators and for having been the #protagonists of my #PhD #research.

Recently, I participated to an #international #workshop organized by #GDGT #nerds for GDGT nerds, sadly not active on this #platform as far as I know.

New instance, new #introduction

1. I'm bad at shitposting
2. Generally very #nerdy and enthusiastic about lots of topics.
3. Married, dad, #bisexual, he/him
4. Originally a scientist, now work for a non-profit, but the goal for this account is to not think (or post) about work too much
5. Activist left-wing politics
6. Formerly @crowsandpawns@mastodon.lol

#Introduction time! Hi, I’m Aeryn. I’m a #neurodivergent, #pagan, #sapphic woman living in the UK.

I’m involved/interested in #PerformingArts, drink lots of #tea, and have a habit of picking up #volunteering projects.

I’m excited (and a bit nervous) to be here: finding new people, learning new things, posting new things, and experiencing new perspectives.
