My paper, started during the first year of graduate school at @UCLAEPSS, has finally been published! We confirm and improve several trace element thermobarometers. Check it out! @BABgeo https://t.co/mKwyc3hyx9
Are you interested in high temperature geochemistry, igneous petrology, or early Earth and plan to attend graduate school? I'm planning to take students (M.S. and PhD) this Fall, so reach out if you're interested! #Geology
the literal *only* thing i want to talk about today is mark de ballot, the dapper crawfish on the new "i voted" sticker that louisiana voters will get this november

I need to acknowledge our director of grad studies @GregoryRSL for treating all students—current, past, accepted, & rejected—with the kindness that academia can so sadly lack. He’s going viral on Reddit for his thoughtful rejection letters, & I hope other programs follow suit.

We only rate dogs. These are clearly giant pandas. Please understand that the word giant can also be in reference to the size of their hearts, and only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 for both
The ion probe lab at UCLA will host a workshop for grad & advanced undergrad students on the application of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to Earth & planetary sciences, Feb 12-16 2024. Application deadline Dec. 21. Apply at https://t.co/yqmbdMLEJr #SIMS#geology
I'm still disappointed you all eliminated toxic cinnabar, so I (and urge you to) vote for #Arsenuranospathite, a mineral that has both U and As
#MinCup23
#MinCup23 R2M8 Barbenheimer showdown!
Arsenuranospathite has radioactive uranium nestled in a deadly cocktail of arsenic, while Rhodochrosite is a brilliantly-pink carbonate gem.
