Humbled to share perspectives & real life examples of the pursuit of happiness, esp in these crazy times for those with careers and young families (equally applicable to other forms of hyperbusyness!). Embrace a manageable amount of chaos & find your unique flow :)

“My parents bought me a chemistry kit and I loved it,” she said. “I went on to study chemistry when I went to university. My path started at a very young age, and I was just very adamant that I loved chemicals and science and microscopes. It was like a playground to me.”

@biogeomicroblog @USaskGeoSci Thank you, @biogeomicroblog! So many women, including yourself, that have led & supported volunteer efforts have inspired me. I hope I’m passing it on! So proud to represent #Geoscience in the Business and Professions category @YWCASaskatoon #WOD #WOD2021

Since 1970 #EarthDay has aimed to diversify, educate and activate support for the environment!
Mark it by speaking with someone about how important geosciences are to environmental understanding and protection.
Spread the word, inspire thought, and help protect our planet 🌍

@CourtneyOnstad Teachers are special people!!!

@GeoRockStories @Xeno_lith Just did this recently with Gr.4/5. I may have “cheated” by providing rock & mineral samples to the classroom ahead of time. But there’s a lot of cool photos for slide decks & many websites to show them concepts like rock cycle, plate tectonics, minerals in everyday life, etc.

@Xeno_lith @GeoRockStories @Sketchfab @phaneritic @Marissa_Dudek Virtual samples 😲 oh wow - that’s cool.

Thanks to Willowgrove @StoonPubSchools for having us provide a virtual afternoon on Physical Regions of #Canada, natural resources in SK & intro to Rocks and Minerals. We had a great Q&A session. These thank-you cards make me melt 🥰 #GirlsInSTEM #WomenInSTEM

[Girls In The Classroom @GITC_Mining]

Breaking it down to the “what does a geologist do” and “explain the rock cycle” level - I always appreciate the prep work needed to explain things when visiting classrooms! #questions

[Girls In The Classroom @GITC_Mining]

Excited for our next outreach activity with Gr.4 / 5 students @StoonPubSchools - a combo of Physical Regions of Canada & Rocks and Minerals curriculum connections. This one is special because my daughter has a keen interest to help - since it’s her classroom! #GirlsInSTEM
