It significant speeds up ⏳and removes complications🔋 associated with Ag 🥈isotope analysis in Au 🥇 nuggets. Alison graduated 🎓 back in 22 and has long forgotten about academia, but this is a great piece 🧩 of work that definitely deserves to be shouted about 📢📢📢

Way back at the start of 24, the A-team (Alison, @A_N_Wainwright, @ProfAndyTomkins) published an awesome new method paper 🧪🔩🪛🧪. For Simplifying silver isotope analysis of metallic samples (i.e gold or silver nuggets) @GeoChemTropics @MonashEAE pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

The real star ⭐ of this work was @MonashEAE @MIsotopia PhD Alison Davis (not here), who preserved through the unfavorable properties of silver 🥈 and complications added from a two isotope system to develop this awesome method.

So the time is now 🕛🕧🕐🕑🕠🕔🕠🕙🕥🕚🕑⏲️⏰ over the next week I will let you know about our great new finds...

Haven't posted on here for ages ⌛as a bit of a protest🪧 But over the last year there has been some awesome stuff 😎 happening in the lab 🧪 @GeoChemTropics. The great students and collaborators working with me have made some awesome findings that are worth shouting about 📢🔊

A telling graphic by @GrogsGamut Renewables are reducing emissions from electricity, but the good work is being negated by other sectors. We really need to clean up transport. Public transport, bikes, scooters. And stop subsidies for massive utes. theguardian.com/business/grogo…

The GSNZ is deeply concerned about the proposed cuts to staffing at Victoria and Otago Universities, a move that will have a major impact on NZ's ability to deliver research and teaching on crucial geoscience topics. Read our public statement here gsnz.org.nz/news-and-event…

@erikharold @manenbu Interested in some answers to this especially maybe even open source that could be utilised during field teaching

Which app do you use to record structural measurements in the field?

@RibeiroBrunov Once the laser is running 💨 there's a lot less that can go sideways 👉

Neptune fun times. In the middle of a marathon data collection session. #massspectrometry. What is your longest continuous run?

@And1129 Not bad... This is my second five day session this month.

@DrMcTest I've had a few runs that went ~18 hours 😱

@thegeojesse I'm heading into Day 5

As archive finds go, this one is code-crackingly brilliant. Context: British geologists uranium mine prospecting in Australia in 1947. Drambuie anyone?

Hello @MerribekCouncil! I moved half a dozen wheelies bins off the city-bound Sydney Rd bike lane this morning but couldn’t do much about these skips! Any chance the lane could be made, you know, safe for cyclists?

Our third year petrology class went on a trip to burdekin river to look at and map igneous intrusions and magma mingling textures. Fabulous rocks and wonderful students @jcu

Check out the amazing work being done by @Thesaltygeochem getting out there in the world! We're studying shark life history with lasers 🔦 and X-rays 🩻 on 🦈 vertebrae. Thank you @saveourseas and @Ffisheries_lab for awesomeness and support! Follow the link below to read more.

@CELTIC_lab @GeoChemTropics @marcamillet For once it wasn't me 😜

@DrMcTest @GeoChemTropics Seems like you and @marcamillet are up to the same tricks this week… 🫠

Sometimes the Gods of #MassSpectrometry just decide to throw extra hurdles in your way. 1 melted torch = another small pile of 💰 that needs to be sourced from the ether. #melted #plasma @GeoChemTropics
