@jtu I was kind of wondering if I'd feel a quake this CA trip. Just missed it!

Girl power: MSU-Utah collaboration at ALS 12.2.2!

Is it actually counterproductive to have students take chemistry before mineralogy? So many smart students asked to draw silicates write :O=Si=O:, even after weeks talking about, looking at, building tetrahedra.

Thanks to @mingdalv for coming back to visit and speak to @EESMSU about your path to your new job in X-ray instrumentation at @RigakuOptics! We even got to do a mini belated hooding ceremony (postponed from spring 2021)!

@kirbycai Interesting data. I've been wondering whether students may feel strong negative emotions about online/hybrid courses because it reminds them of the past two years. But some definitely have learned to like online learning.

@MineralCup @cobalt123 “Lithomarge” sounds like an earthquake-wielding wizard.

How about “mother of porcelain”? “Healer of wounds”? #kaolinite

The orthodontic appliance installed in my 9yo moves the palate bones at the same rate as the fastest tectonic plates split apart and diverge across the Earth. She says it tingles.

@GeoEdResearch No, not GSA. I also don’t know whether the setting was a poster session or evening banquet. Certainly either way it’s a place where junior scientists are in a position to be pressured to participate.

[Dr Suki Dorfman @thesuki]

Heard from a student today who chose not to drink alcohol at a conference, and then 6 or 7 different people tried to encourage or push her to drink. 😡

[Dr Suki Dorfman @thesuki]

Not that this is surprising. I have not counted the number of times someone has hinted or asked about pregnancy when I wasn’t drinking the conference beer or wine.

[Dr Suki Dorfman @thesuki]

9yo’s idea of fun is making Google forms for me to fill out. Oh no I’ve created a monster mini me!

Overhearing a class that decided to spend precious in person class time on… watching a YouTube video about time management and prioritization
