Let’s keep science woke. JK - let’s ensure that science does not happen in a vacuum, that “everyone can be included in science, protected from abuse in the name of science, and benefit from the products of science” ✉️ – at Bristol, England
OK #Science twitter - do your thing! We have written an open letter to Conservatives strongly opposing 'kicking woke ideology out of science' rhetoric & show they do not represent science. Please distribute widely! Screen readable text + signature form at hull.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/edi…

@UoBEarthScience geologists learned not to take our previous beautiful Cornish weather for granite. Troctolite became trocto-heavy. ☀️🌦️🌧️

Rinsey Cove’s spotted schists proved too hot to handle for some of the @UoBEarthScience geologists. Any further away andalusite of them.

Yiamas to the @UoBEarthScience third year geologists and a cracking week. Final days saw us unwravelling ophiolites, detachments, and even some (not so) rogue sediments! 🪨⚒️☀️

So so gutted to unexpectedly miss the second day of @MSG_1981 2023 after an awesome first day! 😫 But amazing to be able to chime in virtually to hear @rpi’s incomparable Frank Spear talk all things nucleation and grain boundaries (😍) in his Barrow Award talk 🎉 – at South East, England

For the love of all things volcano and love and science! 🥰🏳️‍🌈🌋 – at Bristol, England
Volgaynoes, a volcanology-themed queer art collaboration with @AilsaNaismith is now live on Kickstarter! 🏳️‍🌈🌋🏳️‍🌈 This is a science-art collaboration that shows off the beauty and diversity of volcanic processes on our planet while celebrating LGBTQ+ scientists and volcano lovers.

At risk of being lambasted by all my zircon-mad colleagues, team #staurolite, because who doesn’t love a mineral that likes to say “f-you” to systematic phase equilibria?!
Replying to @MineralCup
ROUND 1 MATCH 5 The Time Lord #Zircon is up against the Fairy Cross #Staurolite in this showdown of classic minerals. Both are charismatic in their own way, but only one can have a chance at the #MinCup2022 finals! Share your photos and tell your tales: you have 24 hours!

More than a little keen to be diving into day two at @UoBEarthScience. Excited for new colleagues, collaborations, and field teaching, and humbled by the support you show EC researchers like myself. Plus, the office view isn’t too bad.
