Serious 🌋 science. None of the pretentiousness. Asst Prof of minerals & magma-wrangling (socials are not a reflection of my employer’s views).
I’m very excited to announce that the always fantastic field geologist Dr. John Wakabayashi is invited as Wichita State Geology’s Watkins Lecturer next Wed & Thurs, 12-13 Nov.
If you’re around south-central KS/northern OK & interested in Earth Science, this is a multi-day event not to be missed!!

I had to back out of #GSAConnects but my VERY FIRST STUDENT is still there presenting our summer fieldwork at Newberry Volcano. 🌋🥳
Stop on by Poster 277 between 3:30-5:30 pm today to learn about what mafic enclaves can tell us about Central OR’s last eruption & where magma is beneath this caldera!!

Have you been over to Science Twitch recently?
If yes, please take my survey! I'm trying to understand how effective of a platform it is for scicomm & how it may impact public attitudes & perceptions about science & scientists.
Survey ends Fri 2/28 - take it at tinyurl.com/TwitchSci

I can’t think of anything more pleasant than burying myself in research today. May this mica cleanse your feed.

Thank you to everyone for a great Coffee With a Scientist this morning! We learned about how cells change & why with
our guest scientist Kelsey & were able to raise >$200 for
Fred Hutch towards ALL research. Science Twitch has such a great community & I'm so glad to be a part of it!

I’m embarrassed to ask this, but hey - we all gotta start somewhere.
How in the heck do I cite (in-text & references) an ENTIRE monograph? Not just a few articles, but the WHOLE DAMN THING?!?
I’d super appreciate any advice from more experienced researchers, bc the cat is no help!

I found my niche in SciComm with live-streaming. It’s super fun & rewarding, but a LOT of hard work, too!!
AND I’m stoked to announce I’ve been invited to be a panelist for this year’s TwitchCon, where we’ll talk about science & why interactive live-streaming is such a good tool for outreach! 🌋
