Looking forward to speaking at the LAMECS taking place in Manchester.
My talk will explore how microbial communities in volcanic environments can help us understand the limits of life and its potential emergence on early Earth and beyond.

The answer might be 42, but whatās the question?
Iāll be giving a talk at @pintofscience.uk in Norwich on May 20:
āThe Hitchhikerās Guide to Life in the Universeā.
Come along if youāre around!

Excited to see our work now live!
In this study on the role of CODH-utilising microbes in volcanic astrobiological analogues.
Huge thanks to Marcela HernƔndez and all collaborators!
Happy to hear thoughts!

Last day at @egu.eu 2026 in Vienna.
This gets me to know more about planetary atmospheres but also listening to topics very close to mine like geochemistry and geomicrobiology and the exchange of energy and elements between microbial communitie and rocks.

Join us on a whistle stop tour through space and time! Our planet hosts some crazy creatures living in some of the most extreme places, let's dive in and dā¦

Just wrapped up a very busy week where I gave a talk at the @pintofscience.uk titled: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Life in the Universe.
Thanks to everyone who came along and to the organisers for putting up the event.

Really nice discussions at the @norwichmicro.bsky.social last week where I presented a poster on extremophiles in volcanic soils as analogues for early planetary biospheres and I had the chance to co-chair a session.

Venus has lava tubes! That's so cool!
Or hot. Venus is a sucky place to live, but is super amazing for science.
