I am running a course starting August 2nd about "Soils, Slopes, and Streams". Free mini-lecture videos are available starting August 2nd, and K-12 teachers and out-of-school educators can earn continuing-ed credits if you enroll for the series! montana.edu/soils-slopes-s…

Montana State University is hiring an assistant professor in Soil and Environmental Chemistry. Apply now to be considered! jobs.montana.edu/postings/42741…

@ElianaHadTime @AcademicChatter Absolutely yes. Invited talk.

Do academics typically include research presentations (of varying lengths) that were given as part of a university job interview to their CV as invited talks? @AcademicChatter

@LaurenGifford @resilientplaces ideas?

@sweeneygeomorph @UPortland Yay Kristin!

Happy to report that I’ve been granted tenure @UPortland !!! Can’t wait to keep studying erosion, volcanoes, tide pools, and more with awesome students and colleagues.

@Don_Curiel Yes! Field studies are sometimes told the data are just descriptive or correlative and models give real processed-based info. But…what if models are poorly grounded in insights from…um…field data. Which are expensive, difficult, time consuming, and messy. And necessary.

@coreyspowell I have to think more about anthro- vs psycho-, but after reading this I am in total agreement it should end -zoic rather than -cene. We are definitely in a new era…not an epoch.

@GeologyNow Your tweet about the Psychozoic led me to this spirited defense of the term: arboretum.wisc.edu/content/upload…

Are you serious?!? I’m a Geomorphologist and have never heard of the Psychozoic? I’m Gobsmacked.

@Paul_VLH According to this our trash is 3 times bigger than the strata representing the past 2-million years. Sounds right.

@Ben____Davis It will be on my wall soon. Garbage science or not…it’s art.

@GeologyNow I have this poster on my bedroom wall. Please someone tell me if it's garbage science and if I have to take it down now

@mwallenstein The history of soil science, similar to the history of the US, has been told through an incomplete lens, obfuscating & purposefully removing contributions of Indigenous peoples & other groups persistently excluded & marginalized from the dominant narrative doi.org/10.1002/saj2.2…

@liznorell @AlyssaMandel A professor colleague used to do this and ended up axing student-chosen grades because after years they noticed overwhelmingly white males were selecting As and women were hesitant to grade themselves as high.

PhD student Kailey Adams is going to rock it.

Channel heads don’t matter - there, I said it! Happening now at #AGU22.

@waterbarnes @highlyanne Love mentor maps! I do this in my first year seminar.

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive workplace, so if you are excited about this role but your past experience does not align perfectly with every qualification in the job ad, we still encourage you to apply.

#montanastate is hiring 5 faculty specializing in Wellness of Underserved Communities. Potential themes for Earth Sciences position = community vulnerability, sustainability, health disparities, pedagogy, natural hazards, and others. Please share widely! bit.ly/3STR8dR

@AnnaBirdian Ask reviewer 2 - they are always willing to tell you.

Geotwitter, what do you think are the most polarizing, or controversial earth science concepts?

@JMTurowski @AnnaBirdian Don’t tell my students - they’ll revolt.

@AnnaBirdian Streampower model of fluvial bedrock erosion 😉

Lab post-dog! Good girl Oakley ❤️

Here is a lab lab! Our lab here needs to wear PPE just like the people doing the science. He is the service dog of a student in a chemistry professor's lab. (Shared with permission.)
