Hey, , I found this slab in paleo collection. No idea how/when it came. Simply labeled "animal tracks, Connecticut, Triassic", with an ink number on the back. I think it must be baby dinos! Potentially from James Deane's original collection?
Your thoughts?

I'm very lucky to live in Kane County, IL, where I get to vote for not one but two scientists! Physicist for US Congress and environmental microbiologist Linda Robertson for State Representative. Great to live in a sane corner of the troubled US. VOTE!

I've still got some belemnites I collected from the Pee Dee Formation in South Carolina 30 years ago. Don't think it was the same outcrop Urey used, though. What's the fractionation?

What do you mean they just, "ran out" of Pee Dee belemnite? What the heck were #isotope #geochemists doing in the 1950s-60s?

A "long-term science" story I like: In the 1700s, people living on the coast of the Baltic Sea noticed a curious thing... the sea level appeared to be inexplicably falling. Why? 1/9

Here's my student River on our Historical Geology field trip in Illinois Canyon. I proposed a caption/meme contest to class.

Wow. Just a few miles from me. I'm glad they're still out there (as long as they keep to themselves). Losing a rare and beautiful animal to a car is so sad.

I know what you're thinking: Illinois has geology!?
Yes, it does!

I am so stealing this for my intro ocean science class. I already use Spilhaus with the title "The world according to fish". This version adds new levels of important and understandable detail for students. Thanks Huw!

Working on a proposal and made this, it turned out nicely! It is the Spilhaus projection of the global ocean with @oceans_and_ice's global currents overlaid onto Niklas Röber's sea surface temperature & velocity! #Antarctica and the #SouthernOcean at the heart of our planet!

I forgot to grab a Pic of at his thesis defense. But needless to say it went well😊.
Congratulate him!
N.B., If you're an Antarctic climate scientist looking for a new Ph.D. student you couldn't do better! You might want to snap him up. He'll be applying soon.

Last time I was aboard Wavertree (1885) was 45 years ago. She was an unrestored hulk then. I was sailing north from Virgin Islands toward Maine on the schooner Harvey Gamage. We spent 2 nights at South Street Seaport. Time does fly…. My love of the sea is as great as ever.

Joe is a gem! He did a fabulous MS thesis with me on diatom-based paleotemperatures in the Amundsen Sea and he deserves the best opportunity available. He could not possibly come more highly recommended! He's a star in the making.

Looking for a PhD position!
This oct I am defending my MS: southern ocean micropaleo, paleoSST, ocean-ice sheet interaction.
I hope to broaden my skillset and step into polar sed/strat!

Great thread.
Holly, promotion was a slam-dunk because of everything you note here, and much more. Number 1 reason we value you here is that you are a fully engaged member of the community and honorable citizen of the world.
Quote Tweet
Wooohooo! I got unanimous support from both my departments for promotion to full professor a year early! There are still a few other hoops to jump, but this was the most significant so I think I'm good.

One of the last wooden hulled ships in the British Navy. Maybe now that he's king they'll somehow find the money to restore HMS Bronington (one of the last wooden-hulled ships in the British Navy).
They should let me know if they want their hat back.
Quote Tweet
In 1978 I was in a bar in Sønderborg, 
. I vaguely remember a drunken conversation with a drunk Dane wearing this hat. He got it from a drunk British sailor & I got it from him. HMS Bronington was commanded by (Prince) #KingCharlesIII in 1976. She sank in 2016 & is still there.
