On the tenth day of the #12DaysOfScience, science gave to me: carbon storage meets geology. In 2022 we released a report on geological carbon storage, and looked at how carbon dioxide can be locked away deep underground: https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/low-carbon-energy-programme/geological-carbon-storage/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=rs-social-geological-carbon-storage

On the fifth day of #12DaysOfScience, science gave to me: the largest snake in history. Titanoboa lived in South America around 60 million years ago, and could grow up to 40 feet long - but does such gigantism always lead to extinction?

From The Royal Society : On the second day of the #12DaysOfScience, science gave to me: Mary Somerville’s paper to the Royal Society. Somerville, born #OnThisDay in 1780, was the first woman to have a paper read to and published by the Society. The paper, entitled "The Magnetic Properties of the Violet Rays of the Solar Spectrum", was presented by her husband William in 1826, as Somerville was not permitted to do so herself.
