Great way to start off your day: walk around the neighborhood with your partner collecting dandelions and clover flowers, then use them to make fritters for breakfast 🌼😋

Question: Does anyone know if/when/how Gephyrocapsa officially became the "official" genus of (Emiliania) huxleyi?? I don't know who actually makes this decision, or how it gets made, or if it's just community consensus.

3/ Einstein once said ‘Those with the privilege to know have a duty to act’. But act how? If scientists want to be more than chroniclers of a preventable tragedy, and to see science-informed policies enacted, we need to seriously reexamine our theories of change.

I've been in a writing/reflecting mood lately! I just published "What Connects Us," a short piece in which I muse on my Catholic upbringing, adolescent doubt, and current beliefs. Feel free to give it a read: link.medium.com/vRgjCUSKuLb

What happens when meetings overlap with my cats’ dinner time and my microphone is on:

Did you know? Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, newly-announced running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris Harris, was the keynote speaker at our Esri User Conference just last month??? Catch his super inspiring talk here: mediaspace.esri.com/media/t/1_d2sq… Cc Dr. Leah C. Stokes

2024 elections are just around the corner! Today, I pledged with AGU (American Geophysical Union) to make my voice heard and #VoteIn2024. Please join me in taking the pledge! p2a.co/0ulieC2 #ScienceIsEssential #ScienceVotesTheFuture

Just paleoclimatology things: seeing this The New York Times email subject and think it’s going to be a story about radiometric dating or some other age-dating technique for older samples, but actually it’s about older folks *going on dates* 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

It’s disappointing how many people would apparently choose violent collapse over the unglamorous labor of change-making. Someone who would rather eat popcorn at a train wreck than attend a city council meeting to expand rail access is not serious. Find the serious people.

I'll be volunteering at the amazing #oSTEM2024 Annual Conference! Let me know if you're planning to attend so that we can say hi👋

I needed to see if the PLA we use for 3D printing decanters could stand up to an acid wash, so I asked my lab manager for something he printed that he wouldn’t mind me potentially ruining, and he gave me… a bunny!! 😭😭 #ritualsacrificeforscience ???

I’m in DC for Geoscience Congressional Visits Day with AGU (American Geophysical Union) AGU Science Policy! Before the work begins, I had some time today to explore DC and visit the US Holocaust Museum 💙 Feeling grateful for this opportunity to learn, this city, and this beautiful day.

Day one of AGU Science Policy Congressional Visits Day! Today is all about honing our communication skills and learning about the policy making process. I’m excited to learn more about effectively sharing the importance of geoscience and climate research with lawmakers 😁🇺🇸 #GEOCVD24

This autumn, put the rake down and let Mother Nature take the reigns-- those fallen leaves are essential to protecting local biodiversity and soil health. #LeaveTheLeaves link.medium.com/dEKiUCcK4Mb
