@GSAPublications @geosociety Thank you for the feature! @AnnieKlyce and I are very proud of this study. If anyone is looking for seminar speakers for next year, my highest recommendation goes to Dr. Klyce! @nagtgeo

New paper alert! ⏰ @AnnieKlyce analyzed 1,861 courses from 191 geology B.S. degree programs from the US to create a binning system and identify the most frequently required geology courses. #geology #OpenAccess https://t.co/RamTv43Yjw

[Katherine Ryker @AgesAndAngels]

74.87% of programs required students to participate in a field experience, and 49.21% of programs in field camp.

What else stood out to you? 🧵

Notably, field camp is required at about the same rate as it was in 2008. “In the last 13 years, there has only been a 1.8% decrease in the frequency with which field camp is required.”

@theonlyletteR I can't remember an earlier stats lesson on the East coast. Very impressed with the West coast participants up and participating at 3am!

[rockgrrl @DrLaDue]

So maybe there's hope for my last dissertation chapter after all? 🤣😆

[Katherine Ryker @AgesAndAngels]

@DrLaDue You think a silly little sign is going to stop us from overcommitting?! 😆 I might need to get this tattooed on my forearm.
