@drlperezdiaz.bsky.social *Fantastic* lecture on scientific visualization for the Geological Society - Really enjoyed it! Colleagues in the sciences, you should watch this and learn from it: youtu.be/pwnQpnBl_qA?... ⚒️

🚨 Science-y family event alert! 🚨 For children 7-10, September 20th, at the Geological Society of London. Spaces are limited, and I hear that two of my four workshops are fully booked...so if you want to join me don't wait too long!! programme.openhouse.org.uk/listings/4938

On 2 September we're launching our This is Geoscience campaign to reframe public understanding of #geoscience and inspire the next generation of geoscientists ⚒️ 🧪 Join us to be amongst the first to see the report and campaign, and help share them far & wide. Free & open to all tinyurl.com/3r99dzw5

Catch our #EGU25 poster this afternoon! We’ll discuss widening meeting access, open data sharing, and supporting interdisciplinary communities via the @geolsoc.bsky.social GeoFutures conference series. Find us at X2.51 (14:00 - 15:45) in Session EOS4.6 to share your thoughts and grab a badge!

Poster session time at #EGU25 & our incredible Education team from @geolsoc.bsky.social are presenting on our educational resources - go say hello to Sarah at X2.81 before 18.00 today to find out more!

“That is why I am speaking to the whole family of humankind, minorities and women alike. If you qualify and would like to be an astronaut, now is the time. This is your NASA—a space agency embarked on a mission to improve the quality of life on planet Earth right now.” plus.nasa.gov/video/nichel...

Too much of the USA’s decline is being framed in terms of “look at our empire being torn apart by clowns” - that’s exactly the problem: this decline is the logical outcome of when that same will to dominate is turned inwards. (I know that’s an obvious point, I’m just seeing this framing everywhere.)

We are The Geological Society & this is our official account on BlueSky! Whilst we work out how to best resource this, you can still keep up to date with our activity across other remaining channels, or sign up to receive direct email communications from us here: geolsoc.org.uk/newslettersi...

28% of England’s ancient monuments have no legal public right of access Over 5,500 sites recorded by Historic England are beyond reach of the public, according to new analysis undertaken by the campaign group Right to Roam. stoneclub.rocks/right-to-roam

Wow. Hezel et al.: MetBase has been migrated into Astromat (search.astromat.org). Millions of data points on chemical and isotopic compositions of meteorites are now available! Epic! 🔭🧪☄️🪐 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

A good news story to start your week. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Another day, another door! 🎁 Supervising the tree decorating... who will be today's advent surprise? #RSPBAdvent

I would prefer it if right-wing populism could cease being on the rise

My big paper on the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption is finally out! If you want to understand the recent eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula better, look no further: doi.org/10.1029/2024... Let’s dive in to what we found: 🧵 1/8

A little sad to have wiped a 12 year old timeline of posts and positive interactions, so choosing to commemoratively carry over my favourite ☺️

Haven’t seen posted here - so excited to see Jane’s paper about curating and classifying samples from the Lost Meteorites of Antarctica Project (ft. some photogrammetry 👀) published! Details about several very interesting meteorites inside 🤓 #PlanetaryScience onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Nothing says legitimate organic Right Wing uprising in the UK like a meaningless petition that gets retweeted by a foreign billionaire with 200 million followers on the platform he controls. But wait til you hear where the signatures are coming from! 🧵1/9

Revisiting a paper draft and reminded of this banger of a lockdown-brain meme when working on an early thesis draft

There are now 27 starter packs related to #geosciences in this megathread. I bet there are many more I have yet to discover. ⚒️🧪

…and still unbothered!

An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies. Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, and that rewilding reverses nature loss. 🌍 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Three Red Kites staying very close to home and the lad up the hill munching on in the snow.

To accompany this #PlanetaryScience starter pack, I make this guide to 12 Types of Planetary Science Papers!!! Based on the original #XKCD comic Enjoy!

The first samples ever returned from the Moon's farside only landed on Earth at the end of June. Today Science published Chinese colleagues' study with ages of the basaltic samples returned, at 2.8 Ga. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I couldn’t find a starter pack for POCs working in STEM, so I started one myself - my network here is still small and I didn’t want to assume how people identify, so please reply or DM me if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/BJkKQVR

Two fantastic days of #PlanetaryScience at the @geolsoc.bsky.social GeoFutures 2024 conference. So pleased to see diverse talks, valuable community discussion, and lots of friends catching up. Hope everybody enjoyed and learned something. Looking forward to more Planetary Geo bits and bobs soon! ☄️🌔🪨

Want to find out more about the RAS and everything we do? We're at the Geological Society's GeoFutures: Planetary Geoscience Conference today and tomorrow. Why not come and say 'Hi' 👋 and meet some of the team? Find out more about the conference here: https://buff.ly/4eD8Ltm

Regarding the assumption that geology/geophysics has a branding problem, and that in part explains why student numbers are decreasing: Do departments calling themselves geosciences or Earth sciences departments do better?

blocking anyone being even vaguely snide or unpleasant to people on sight today, if you can't fucking play nice right now then when can you

Thought too much about Coot feet, made Coot print!

Really excited to share the first paper to come out of my PhD. We used non-destructive methods to investigate the physical properties of samples from the Lost Meteorites of Antarctica project, including high fidelity 3D modelling of samples using photogrammetry. Please have a read!

Nothing interesting to say yet so please enjoy this cow
