My lovely colleague Prof Jenny is retiring (a bit 😋). Jenny a Geologist has worked tirelessly over the years to promote geoscience and protect our natural landscapes. I made her a print of the 'Loom' at the Giants Causeway. It's 3d laser scan data mixed with a bit of art. @qubstaff.bsky.social 😎❤️🪨
