Turns out putting a school-sanctioned golf course right next to a school-sanctioned student parking lot is a really bad idea! Thanks VTπ«‘

Itβs really great to see programs like this out here, but theyβre missing a critical group: postdocs! We need to be investing in the next generation so that we continue to have a solid pipeline from PhD to faculty. Weβre at risk of falling through the cracks. Not that Iβm biased or anythingβ¦

Goodbye to one of my two opportunities to get a federally funded postdoc fellowship. Iβm trying to carry on as normal but it seems like each day things get more hopelessβ¦

A view of KΔ«lauea crater with smoke emanating from the vent.
A lava tube lit by a red glow
A scraggly tree growing on the KΔ«lauea Iki crater floor
A close up of the ground downwind of the crater, with tephra, Peleβs hair, and olivine.
Got to check KΔ«lauea off my geology bucket list this weekend! Had a wonderful time despite the eruption being paused.

This is beyond devastating. I canβt believe this is our reality right nowβ¦ 0 geoscience postdocs for 2026? Seriously, wtf am I supposed to do???

Bighorn sheep skull from the Pahranagat Mountains, Nevada! The horns can weigh up to 30lbs (they sure felt heavy to me!)

Merry Fieldmas! Recently returned from some chilly fieldwork in western MD. We finally finished the section Iβve been working since 2020 β over 2000 meters measured!

A person stands on a layer of rock with many large shell fossils in it.
Fossils **in outcrop** in Calvert County, MD! Most of the time we find these Miocene shells in loose sediments, but this bed in my local park preserves them as internal molds.

Hi! π If youβre heading to GSA next weekend please consider checking out my talk on Sunday morning! Should be a fun discussion of the weird & wonderful Harkless Fm and the Fe speciation proxyπ
