again and again and again @MassDOT inflicts huge costs on transit and the T to complete their highway projects

incredible how @Massport is just completely unable to do traffic management and enforcement at Logan Terminal B. a pathological deference to cars, on a Sumner tunnel shutdown day no less

Drop a cool photo of you doing your job:

There's dope geology everywhere you look!

[Adrian Castro @AdrianCastro48]

What a great memory! Thanks for having me on Ethan- it was a pleasure to spread the word of NYC geology. I encourage folks to check out by talk at Goldschmidt this July for our most recent work!

Check out these garnet WDS maps as a sneak peak!

[Ethan F. Baxter @EthanRockStory]

The geology of New York City has its own mysteries. What is the story of continental assembly and mountain building hidden below all those skyscrapers?

@EthanRockStory Happy birthday!

[Adrian Castro @AdrianCastro48]

@EthanRockStory @NSF @BCEarthScience @BostonCollege Congrats!!!!

[Adrian Castro @AdrianCastro48]

@rachelxbernard I feel that! I was in a similar spot in Earth Materials last semester...Good luck, and let me know if there's any way I can help!!

[Adrian Castro @AdrianCastro48]

@rachelxbernard Wow!! I’ve only got 9 in structure (plus an intro section) and that feels like a lot. At least it means you’re doing something right! Good luck!

[Adrian Castro @AdrianCastro48]

@rachelxbernard Hard agree. I’ve been trying to not work those “extra” hours as much as possible this semester which is difficult if you want to give feedback in any sort of reasonable time frame while also running some semblance of a research program… so far I’ve not been that successful lol

[Adrian Castro @AdrianCastro48]

@ItsPlexiglass2U @micROCKScopica There hasn't been a whole lot of quantitative petrology done on the rocks of the Manhattan prong...but stay tuned! We submitted a Goldschmidt abstract about our recent P-T-t work on the Manhattan formation, which should be fun!

[Adrian Castro @AdrianCastro48]

@AllieNagurney @e8chin I am not exaggerating when I say this module specifically changed my (teaching) life lol

Pretty great crew!

[Ethan F. Baxter @EthanRockStory]

The main goal of Season's 2 and 3 of "Every Rock Has A Story" was to show diverse geoscientists sharing their stories to help kids see themselves as geoscientists. It has been a joy to work with these inspiring colleagues!

WATCH all their stories HERE👇

Makes sense that the best city would have the best garnet.

[History_of_Geology @Geology_History]

October 27, 1904, the New York subway system officially opens - the first rapid-transit subway system in America. The "Subway Garnet" was found in 1885 on 35th Street and Madison Avenue during associated excavation work (for the sewer system) in the Manhattan schist 💎

@EthanRockStory @dleblancene @HilaryPalevsky @ImaniGuest @AdrianCastro48 @SeftonGeo @HeatherOlins Thank you for platforming geologists of different backgrounds, ages, and experiences!! This project has been important in showing a growing diversity in our field in addition to sharing lithospheric narratives!
