Another LAICPMS day, another totally new (to us!) problem. This supports my hypothesis that LAICPMS NEVER goes smoothly. No one cried though, so it could have been worse!

Lab days are an exercise in zen. Nothing like watching all the careful organisation go out the window. Of course, not preparing isn't an option either.

LA-ICP-MS is temporally wild. It somehow manages to be both incredibly fast (getting the data!) and incredibly slow (processing the data!). Staving of frustration by reminding myself that this is thousands of years of data, and if it takes a day to process, well that's still really, really, quick!

Kicking off #Goldschmidt2023 #Lyon with the #LAICPMS imaging workshop with Maurizio, Cipian, Mónica and Martin. Impressed to see how much this topic has improved in the last few years! 🌋

Hello! Excited to be here, though still figuring it all out. I'm a #geologist who uses #geochronology, #geochemistry and #fieldwork. I'm currently trying to answer questions like when and why does it rain in the Sahara, and where is the Archaean basement terrane boundary north of the Scottish mainland? I run the #LAICPMS lab in the University of Hull, am a Deputy Editor in Chief for the #journalofthegeologicalsociety and am a mum of 3. Life is not boring 😵‍💫😴
