Faculty Position at University of #Iowa 🧪⚒️ Solid Earth #geology, focused on #structural geology, tectonics, geochronology, thermochronology, critical minerals, or geodynamics. jobs.uiowa.edu/faculty/view...

Kicked off #Goldschmidt2025 yesterday by running a super fun workshop to help students write their first fellowship! It was extremely rewarding to facilitate their discussions and see their first draft come together in a few hours!!

Presented at the Future of Volcanology today at #IAVCEI2025 Despite delays from the previous talks & tech hiccups (while we were all starving!!), I’m so grateful for those who stayed till the end with me. The feedback and support afterwards truly made it all worth it!

Currently experiencing low-grade metamorphism in Geneva. Just me, not the rocks ☀️🥵 #IAVCEI2025 #MeltRocksNotPeople

Despite the scorching heat and a touch of sushi-induced food poisoning, #IAVCEI25 has been SO MUCH FUN! Old friends, new friends, tons of cool science, and of course, swimming in Lac Léman 🌊 Also kinda loving when people say they know me from Bluesky/Twitter… pls keep it coming 😁💙

@iavcei.bsky.social made a spreadsheet of tomorrows talks #iavcei2025 - docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

After a couple weeks hanging out in Zurich with my friends and getting some data at ETH, I am now heading to Geneva for #IAVCEI2025 ! 🤓🌋 Who else is coming?? 😁

And so summer has began! I had a wonderful time at the Alaska Aleutian in Anchorage last week. Lots of fun science conversations, great new connections, and amazing sights in and around Anchorage!

You know you work at the COOLEST place when you randomly get to hold pieces of the MOON and MARS at the same time ;)

Brushing off the cobwebs here! 🕸️👋 Spring flew by in a blur: events at the Smithsonian, talks at UBC, UC Riverside, UMD, & a GSW poster at Carnegie (yes, I’ve been talking a lot). Now bracing for the summer travel + conference sprint. Excited for science, snacks, and hopefully fewer airport delays!

The next EGU Campfire fo the GMPV division is in one week! January 23rd at 4pm CET 🌋 This time we have @luud.bsky.social, Melanie Sieber and Jessy Dominique. Register to the talks by using this link 👇 blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gm...

When Solimões and Rio Negro meet, they become the massive Amazon river. But because of their difference in density, they don’t mix right away. I don’t think liquid immiscibility can get any more clear than that!

The Smithsonian Mineral Science fellows ;) This crowd is amazing and I can’t explain how much fun (and snacks lol) we have in the office every day. Glad to be part of this amazing group of young scientists and grateful for all the super inspiring and funny chats we had the past few months!

So is there really no ice breaker at #AGU24 tonight? Where’s everyone hanging out?

Super excited to see everyone here arriving in DC! Welcome, everyone! Looking forward for a fun week with friends and cool science! #AGU24 ⚒️🧪

So who is coming to DC for #AGU2024 this weekend?? Shout if you any help or tips for getting around in DC! Also shout if y’all are already getting beers before the conference cause I’m READY 🌝

⚒️ So I made a feed! It tracks some of the geo-focussed weekly hashtags that have migrated here from Twitter, like #ThinSectionThursday, #FossilFriday and #FridayFold. Focussing on hashtags where people share pretty and interesting rocks and landscapes. If there are more I should add, let me know!

Who will be at #AGU24 ? Raise your hand! Levanta la manito 🙋🏽‍♀️ I'm working on the GeoLatinas presentation with Danita, @caroll03.bsky.social , @luud.bsky.social , Dariana, @malenaoa.bsky.social , Gaby, & adding a slide about our connection space (Pods), come see us! #GeoLatinasAroundTheWorld

I analysed ~300 apatites and they all look the same

I feel like this card is attacking me 😭 🧪

Not me submitting a bunch of stuff in the last possible day again

Idk about y’all but sometimes I feel like I gotta do everything for my data but my data doesn’t do anything for me ✨ toxic ✨

Sharing this amazing list of geolatinas in this platform! Feel welcome to add more names and pass along to your network: @caroll03.bsky.social @caballerogill.bsky.social @miriam-rslm.bsky.social @adriguatame.bsky.social @luud.bsky.social @francypants.bsky.social

All scientists are mad. If that doesn’t seem like it to you, it’s because you’re mad too 🫢

Will I ever get used to people emailing me to ask my help/my opinion? I try my best to help but deep inside I’m screaming for them to stop putting so much weight into my opinions I am basically a 6 yo 😭

The Old Rag Granite at Shenandoah National Park… I’ll have to admit I like granites a lot better when I am not struggling to hike them before the sun sets 🥲 Virginia views are always 10/10 tho ✨

Sooo excited to see more and more people from science Twitter migrating here!! Welcome y’all!!

Columnar joins and amazing fall colours today at the Shenandoah National Park!

So many new folks here!! Hi all 👋 welcome to the party! I’m super happy to see this community keeps growing

AGC is planning to open for submission in January 2025! In order to plan our initial workload, please register your interest in submitting your work to AGC using this form: forms.gle/GHHmHioBdRSi... note that registering interest is not a pre-requisite for submission.

I am of the opinion it’s useless to fight against AI - it’s here to stay. It was just a matter of a time until a Geo-AI would show up. I DO think we need to talk (a lot!) about how to use it ethically and teach students about its advantages and common pitfalls link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Saw this unusual orbicular granite at the New Mexico Natural History Museum. Never seen anything like it before!

Sometimes we want careers to be linear and filled only with success… but most people I know how felt in deep despair in an academic setting has one way or the other managed to overcome that situation and become more successful than they had originally hoped for.

#GSA2024 already started for me! I had an inspiring evening at the On the Future Mentor Onboarding event tonight. Excited to meet the mentees tomorrow and hear their stories!

Gorgeous views flying over Nevada while heading to #GSA2024

When I got here, it was all fields #103,996!

Love to see it: communities of scientists are forming on Bluesky. This is a nice network analysis, complete with a leaderboard mikeyoungacademy.dk/communities-...

Friends going to GSA this year: anyone knows of a service for printing and delivering a poster in Anaheim? I don’t want to fly from DC with a poster tube and I guess now it’s too late to print in fabric ⚒️🌋🧪

Hey friends in Earth Sciences Who decided Zircons can be plural? Why do we have to keeping writing “zircon grains” instead of simply zirconS? Asking for a friend. ⚒️🧪

What kind of rock? 👀

Since Brazil is trending...Did you know this country is famous for amethyst? This geode formed 130 million years ago during intense volcanism in southern Brazil. Enough lava was produced to cover the British Isles in 3.2km of lava flows. Amethyst crystallised in the solidified lava's cavities 🧪⚒️

How to find volcanoes that have been completely eroded? I’ll tell you how ;) Just come check out my EPSL! #geology #geoscience #volcanology www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Here to share that I recently started a PostDoc fellowship at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History! It was an unusual road to get here - but somehow I feel that I am exactly where I should be ☺️ Super grateful to all the fantastic people who have facilitated my way here! 📍Washington DC! 🇺🇸

Major FOMO from not being at EGU this year!! 😭

Happy International Women’s Day 💃🏽 Let me share with you a few inspiring women I know here 💜 Go follow them 🥳 Not only are they badass amazing professionals AND humans, they also share insightful perspectives and great resources: @emsaurios.bsky.social @adriguatame.bsky.social 👇🏽+ in the replies

#opentowork Are you looking for an expert in #geochemistry #petrology #volcanology ? Look no more, @luud.bsky.social just defended her Ph. D. thesis & is on the job market👏🏽 🎉 Thanks, Ludi, for being my working partner in the GeoLatinas virtual office this morning. Join us!

Yesterday I defended my PhD thesis :) For a while I didn’t think I could do it - it wasn’t easy, but now that I am here, I’m glad I made it this far 🎓☺️
