We think it might be sulphur, or a sulphur rich rock type. Can your experts confirm?

[Marie McConnell @sciencemarie]

Does anyone know if a real-life rock inspired Endstone? @Minecraft can you help?

Curious Rockhounds need to know.

Science is for everyone!
Dr. Bashir, a friend of ours, is having a virtual screening for two short films. Check out the moving and amazing video/trailer!
Help the doc out by retweeting this! Thank you team!

Spread of #misinformation a defining characteristic of this era. To fight back, let's #ScienceUpFirst!

2 days ago, @PfParks wrote a summary of why the current reporting about ICU beds doesn’t capture the whole story. He gave me permission to post his summary:

Good news: finally boarded!
Bad news: the flight appears to be sold out. There are 5 people seated within 6’ of me. How is this acceptable when everything in the terminal says to stay distanced? #doublemasked

Super unimpressed with @AirCanada today.
First I get an email saying my 12:20am flight is delayed until 2:30am. Except the app shows departure is still at 12:20.

[Marie McConnell @sciencemarie]

Or not…. It’s 10:35. No announcements have been made about the communicated 10:30am departure being delayed further. But the app now says delayed until 10:45. Someone needs to tell the passengers!

If you hold the role of mentor, teacher, or even “generic adult who works around kids”. Be open to discussions about accessibility and follow up with those tiny humans!
(Or in Prof Hollister’s case - full grown humans.)

@NETGEAR This is what I get when I click on "contact us": https://t.co/6azRzyrLv2

@NETGEAR Having trouble setting up a new Orbi system. No internet available to post in community without functional system and we've maxed out data plans. Could use to talk to a person, but all of the 'contact us' links return an "it's not you, it's us" error page.
