@MatthewLachniet @thirstygecko It wasn't clean when we started, but it sure is clean now!

M: Happy V-day!
ME: Thanks! I went on a date with my first love - a mass spectrometer ion source
M: Did sparks fly?
ME: I hope not. If they did then there's a short

Dear fellow scientists:

In 2018 write peer reviews that help and point out problems without being cruel.

Ask questions in seminars that are actual questions and not statements showing off your experience.

Recruit someone in your lab who deserves a chance but never had one.

As much as it is a goal to get young people into STEM careers,it should be a goal to inspire a love 4 science, regardless of career path. We need CEOs, lawyers, firefighters,& everyone else to understand how the world works & keep science/environment in mind when making decisions

The Tucson Airport is deserted. Did I miss the Christmas travel rush? It's still the 23rd, right?

@jer_science I do. "Home" is anywhere I have friends, relatives, or a community where I feel welcomed.

[Lael Vetter @deglacial]

@jer_science What do you define as "home"?

Iso- and paleo- tweeps, the Stable Isotope Geosciences Facility of Texas A&M University now has five isotope ratio mass spectrometers available to receive and analyze samples through contract, client, and collaboration. Please retweet!

There was a strong scientific knitting/crocheting game at #AGU17 by @guertin and @seavdavis

Looking back through images from the 2014 fish class I am struck by just how good the drawings of dead fish are. Drawing makes detail real for the person drawing.

Still at #AGU17? Come on by Poster 1677 for Lagniappe to hear @crabioscar talk about sand bar dynamics & sand transport near crevasse entrances #NOLA

Isochronological sampling of giant pest land snails Zachrysia: boiling for 15 min and 60 min did not show significant isotopic impact. Environmental signal remains intact!

O. Kwiecien: boiled land snail shells from archeological sites may be useful as an environmental isotopic proxy #AGU17

[Lael Vetter @deglacial]

O. Kwiecien: most snails show no systematic offset in isotope values between boiled and unboiled shells #AGU17
