@daosorior This is so awesome!

Dear Twitter community: please retweet my pinned tweet. I am making videos in Spanish to guide science students in academic careers. There are VERY FEW career resources in Spanish and most Latin Americans simply don’t have the tools to thrive as academics.

I help out undergraduates, in particular Latin american, with grad school applications: @danielaosorio31" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@danielaosorio…. Share with anyone who might be interested! New videos every Monday.

I'm interested in identifying where and how much carbonate is dissolving in the ocean, as carbonate dissolution is one of the planet's long-term mechanisms for buffering against high greenhouse gases concentrations, like what we're seeing today with anthropogenic climate change.

My first paper was recently published (OA) in Limnology & Oceanography: Methods! I describe the device we built, SIPR: Sampling In situ PorewateR, to extract deep-sea porewater from the seafloor for more accurate carbonate chemistry porewater measurements. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

When I die, my shell sinks down to the seafloor where chemical oceanographers study how my shell dissolves, especially with our changing climate.

As you can see from the scale bar, I'm only a few microns (µm) wide. I may be tiny, but I'm part of the marine phytoplankton team that produces about half of Earth's oxygen!

Happy Halloween! I'm a coccolithophore, a microorganism who lives in the surface ocean and forms calcium carbonate shells (aka these paper plates). I'm having a tough time with ocean acidification right now, making it harder for me to build these strong shells.

Check out the first paper from my PhD (!!!), to see how we estimate the P-T-t conditions of deformation in metagranites of the Simplon Shear Zone: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/U…

Pre-cruise hotel quarantine like: oo which work set up do I choose today? Couch, small couch, or desk?? And then I walk around my room a bunch of times

Cruise t-shirts arrived! Carbonate Dissolution & Sampling In situ Porewater. Let's set sail in style

Officially in pre-cruise quarantine! We’re in a hotel for a week while we get back our covid results to make sure we’re all healthy to sail. This pic was on the walk back from @Scripps_Ocean marine facility in San Diego

Hello yes I am Jayquellin and I am a proud member of the liberal sins lab. Yes, it is real science.

Zoom transcription right on the mark: Will Berelson’s lab = wheelbarrows in LA liberal sins lab

4 palette boxes full of cruise supplies ready to be driven down to San Diego! One more day until pre-cruise quarantine

@RockMunki @SocietyEconGeol Congrats Tarryn that’s awesome!!

Thank you to the organizers of the SEG Student Showcase, and to all the students who shared their interesting research! I'm super happy to have been awarded 2nd place for my talk on gold deposits. #SEG100 @SocietyEconGeol

The lab is usually messy but this is a special type of messy. Lots to pack before loading up the truck on Monday and driving down to San Diego for our research cruise!

So fun doing a live stream with middle schoolers in LA about ocean acidification! I hope you also had fun and enjoyed the tour of my (currently very messy with cruise packing) lab!

I work with the Young Researchers Program where we bring in high school students for a summer of research at USC! We are trying to raise money to continue operating and bringing in more students to STEM!

Jaclyn's research involves learning how deep ocean mud is responding to anthropogenic climate change, specifically how calcium carbonate (the mineral that makes up corals) dissolves under more acidic conditions. @JacPittman Learn more at STEM Bytes 6/8: bit.ly/3d6UTbO

STEM Bytes is back! Jaclyn Pittman (@JacPittman), PhD student in Geological Sciences @USCDornsife, will be presenting on Monday, June 8 at noon via Zoom. Register now: bit.ly/3d6UTbO Talk: "What can ocean mud tell us about climate change?" #WomenInSTEM
