A wonderful party celebrating the career of Paul Smith, director of ⁦@morethanadodo⁩ — and what a cake!

@IGC2028Glasgow @igc2028canada Well done, you did Scotland proud bringing a remarkable country and nation with spectacular geology to a truly international forum. A great win, Calgary….what a cracking presentation, see you in 2028.

Super few days in beautiful Drôme celebrating @ICS2022 @theIUGS @DurUniEarthSci achievements. Not one but two Golden Spike dedications…the Albian and Hauterivian stages of the Cretaceous. Thanks to everyone involve especially the communities of Arnayon and La Charce. /2

MNCH director Todd Braje argues the recent failure of the @ICS2022 to formalize the term "Anthropocene" is an opportunity, not a loss.

"Moving forward, [cross-disciplinary approaches] must create bridges between scientists and the public." https://t.co/725ZvhoTMV
