In July 2024, scientists reunited in Bremen, Germany for the #EXP401 sampling party. Over a week, they collected nearly 16,000 samples to bring back to their home labs for study.

To learn more about why they needed SO MANY samples, watch the full video at https://t.co/Y74AygWUmt

Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.

From our archives: The world's largest beaver dam was discovered on Google Earth in 2007, and since then only one person has trekked into the Canadian wild to see it, writes Ian Frazier.

Regularly accepting review requests for papers that interest you is a great way to ensure you read with focused attention in this day of distraction. Editors commit to regularly reading the latest science more broadly. #AGUpubs

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it's taken for granted & so no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you'll have a lot less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

[U.S. Scientific Ocean Drilling @US_SciOD]

Check out several articles in the new issue of @ScienceMagazine "News | In Depth" on scientific ocean drilling.

Nature Geoscience piece: "Ocean drilling makes for more robust climate modelling of the future" https://t.co/GzDTvb1FQB . Data from IODP and other sources is essential for evaluating climate models under extreme conditions. Jiang Zhu @NCAR_Science , RIchard Wood @metoffice .

While we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lucy, we also talk about the future of Human Origins research.

I like these “fossil” river cobbles eroding out of the Kit Fox Hills in Death Valley National Park. Polished cobbles from a good-sized river 6-10 million years ago in the Miocene. Many of the rocks were made of non local material of unknown origin—whole mountains eroded away 🧵

Proxy-model comparison and modeling study led by @RPauAcosta shows warming and wetting of Europe during MCO. We study the past because #MioceneIsTheFuture

Amazing site, mentor, location!

Just in: The first salmon in more than a century has been spotted swimming in waters long blocked by the Klamath River dams.

The return of the fish is seen as an early success for the dam-removal project... https://t.co/tOBPy1kJs9

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Small earthquakes wake you up, but this one shook the coffee out of my cup at breakfast... Geology problems.

I've got an open postdoc position in my group in Basel to develop H isotopes of PLFAs as indicators of soil microbial metabolism. Will begin review of applications on 15 Sept. More info and application instructions here:
