Using geology to better understand the ancient world and the origins of complex life. Research Fellow at the School of Geosciences, University of Sydney

A very cool experience recently at the Sydney Opera House where I was asked to speak before the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs performance of Haydn's 1798 oratorio 'The Creation'. I discussed our modern, geological understanding of the evolution of our planet and biosphere 🧵

Newly landed in Bluesky! I'm Max, a postdoc in geobiology at @sydney.edu.au (previously Melbourne, McGill). I use the sedimentary record to better understand ancient environmental change, the evolution of early eukaryotes, and the strange world they emerged in. Here's me with some 2.3 Ga glacials
