For all us wishing there was something we could do to help out there... A legit thing you could do today is help foster kids have access to shampoo. 💚⬇️ It's simple, quick, and directly helpful in the life of a child.

Help geo/paleo hive mind! A student asked how much time is represented in a band of a banded iron formation and not only am I clueless, but my Google Scholar search didn’t yield a clear answer.
