My paper, started during the first year of graduate school at @UCLAEPSS, has finally been published! We confirm and improve several trace element thermobarometers. Check it out! @BABgeo sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Are you interested in high temperature geochemistry, igneous petrology, or early Earth and plan to attend graduate school? I'm planning to take students (M.S. and PhD) this Fall, so reach out if you're interested! #Geology

the literal *only* thing i want to talk about today is mark de ballot, the dapper crawfish on the new "i voted" sticker that louisiana voters will get this november

A 🧵 on burnout
Yesterday I learned that when people are burnt out, their amygdala enlarges. For all you non-neuroscientists, here's what that means and why it's important. 1/

Why did I not get a cape when I finished? #disappointed – at Cambridge, MA

I received a similar email when I applied to graduate school. I doubt that the person who wrote it remembers, but I certainly do.
I need to acknowledge our director of grad studies @GregoryRSL for treating all students—current, past, accepted, & rejected—with the kindness that academia can so sadly lack. He’s going viral on Reddit for his thoughtful rejection letters, & I hope other programs follow suit.

We only rate dogs. These are clearly giant pandas. Please understand that the word giant can also be in reference to the size of their hearts, and only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 for both
ALT two panda pitties sit touching at the hip on a carpeted stair landing. they are almost identical with black spots around their eyes and completely black ears, except for the left panda pup’s blue eyes compared to the slightly smaller right panda pup’s brown eyes.
ALT the elder panda sits proudly behind the puppy panda, whose ears are half perked like airplane wings. he seems unsure, but his big sister will make sure he’s always safe.
ALT the panda besties sit on a colorful rug in their kitchen. the blue-eyed pup sits closest to the camera, while the small panda puppy sits behind her, his little head poking up over the top of the elder pup’s right ear. they’re staring at you and waiting. won’t you share a snack with them?
There is a designated poster tube overhead bin on my flight. The annual migration to #AGU23 has begun.

SIMS has applications to many Earth sciences fields and our workshops typically have participants with diverse scientific interests. Looking forward to another great workshop in February! #geology #geochemistry #cosmochemistry #biogeochemistry #geochronology #stableisotopes
The ion probe lab at UCLA will host a workshop for grad & advanced undergrad students on the application of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to Earth & planetary sciences, Feb 12-16 2024. Application deadline Dec. 21. Apply at uclasims.epss.ucla.edu/works… #SIMS #geology

I'm still disappointed you all eliminated toxic cinnabar, so I (and urge you to) vote for #Arsenuranospathite, a mineral that has both U and As
#MinCup23
#MinCup23 R2M8 Barbenheimer showdown!
Arsenuranospathite has radioactive uranium nestled in a deadly cocktail of arsenic, while Rhodochrosite is a brilliantly-pink carbonate gem.
Vote: mineralcup.org/2023/campaign…
Results: mineralcup.org/results/round…
My longshot favorite Cinnabar was voted out, so I vote for #Adamite in remembrance of Cinnabar's toxicity.
#MinCup23
#MinCup23 Round 1 Match 10 is a pair of A+ minerals associated with alterations: guano-born sky-blue #Ammineite vs pale arsenic-rich #Adamite lurking near weathered zinc deposits.

Results: mineralcup.org/results/round…
❌Lawsonite (and it's fellow schisty minerals) made me cry during mineral identification as an undergrad.
✅Corundum (ruby) is pretty
Vote #Corundum
#MinCup23
It’s a hard-rock battle for #MinCup23 Round 1 Match 8:
industrial sweetheart & standard for Mohs hardness 9 #Corundum grinds against index mineral for high pressures / low temperatures #Lawsonite.
