Our Palaeontology Hall of Fame Kickstarter launched today! This is an enamel pin collection celebrating landmark fossil specimens and LGBTQ+ scientists and natural history lovers. Celebrate the history of life with Pride! Support our project here >> tinyurl.com/PalaeoKS
There is a close-up photograph of the Archaeopteryx Berlin specimen with the Progress Pride flag colors surrounding it. On the right, there is a lineup of pin designs of the following fossils: Dickinsonia, Tiktaalik, Archaeopteryx, and Lucy the Australopithecus. Each design is shown with the pride flag and without the pride flag, in both silver and gold metal plating. There is a green banner on the top saying "Just Launched on Kickstarter".

Forams!! I actually have some micropaleo material from the @TheJR but unfortunately, that represents the worst kind of debris because it’s so small it can get into the tiniest of cracks and muck things up. We aren’t even allowed potato chips or bread because of the crumbs.

Friendly reminder that forams can’t go to space because they could get stuck in a crack and possibly cause some big problems. #themoreyouknow

It’s #BlackInGeoscienceWeek 2021. Check out this article, published earlier this year, by @TheDroneLady and @HendrattaAli that highlights grassroots initiatives that aim to confront the invisibility of Black geoscientists in the community and workforce geoscientist.online/sections…

Where are the Black geoscientists? - GEOSCIENTIST

Published data that document the exact number of Black geoscientists in the UK geoscience workforce are scarce. We therefore have to rely on our own personal experiences, communications and interac...
