Fun fact, my Master's advisor's parents were married in the church in this movie.

He always was my favorite Doctor.

Thank you! I was searching for all the wrong things, especially when my memory was that this story was from the Himalayas.

In grad school I was told a story about someone finding diamond/coesite in the Himalayas and it turned out to be a fluke (a bit of polishing grit or something). I asked a friend and he heard a similar story, but with Proterozoic diamonds. #Geology folks: is there any truth to this story? #papertrail

Sadly hiregoats.com hasn't had anything in MA for a while... There used to be a farm in Amherst that rented their goats, but apparently that was before we moved here!

I'm only a little jealous... We've been trying to hire goats to help manage our very healthy patch of poison ivy for several years and can't find goats (owners) to commit!

I'd give it a try :)

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath

Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision…

Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter.

If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

The end of US leadership in science, technology, and innovation.

All in one little table.

A tremendous gift to China, courtesy of the GOP.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Please let the GEO/EAR community know: Program Directors and Mission Support who’ve been at NSF under two years were just terminated via Zoom. Even those of us whose offer letter stated one probationary year and whose government data states “permanent”.

When I told my husband the recent quake we felt in Western MA came from the ocean, his response was 'Cthulhu rises'.
