Who got woken up by this shake this morning?? Let's just say there's at least 2 rather sleepy members at the GSNZ exec meeting today!

The GSNZ is deeply concerned about the proposed cuts to staffing at Victoria and Otago Universities, a move that will have a major impact on NZ's ability to deliver research and teaching on crucial geoscience topics. Read our public statement here https://t.co/ufb3aRr8zs

I attended a morning tea celebration of the life and work of molluscan paleontologist extraordinaire Alan Beu, held at @gnsscience today. It was a real pleasure and a special time. Many of Alan's colleagues, and also family shared their best memories of an amazing man.

Congratulations to GSNZ student member and @AucklandUni PhD student @MichaelaJDobson on being selected for an @NASAJPL NZ internship! Michaela’s research looks at some of the oldest evidence of fossilised life on Earth, and how this can help us search for life on other planets.

[Michaela J Dobson @theAstrobioGeol]

Thank you @Astro_Pam for taking the time today at the @NASAJPL NZ internship award ceremony, to give us advice as young woman in space. It is inspiring to have such an established role model to look up to. @nzspacegovt
