Finally, an opening ceremony performance I can get behind @GojiraMusic \m/ 🔥🩸
Gojira, a leading French heavy metal band, became the first hard rock act to perform in an Olympic opening ceremony when it did a metal version of “Ah! Ça Ira,” a song that was popular during the French Revolution. Follow updates. nyti.ms/3YgSuFT

Lake Clifton is a globally significant site for our understanding of the Earth's earliest biosphere. These structures have a 3.5 billion year record of existence on Earth, damaged in a single evening 😢

Hello! Do you have a science degree (but not a PhD!)?I'm compiling a list of jobs people have in science WITHOUT doing PhDs for my first-year students want to make the list a little more diverse. Bonus points for adding details about what you do to go with the job title/industry!

Geoscience for everyone, everywhere! The Australian Geoscience Council (AGC), and our colleagues and partners in Australasia, are bidding to host the international geoscience community in Melbourne for the 38th International Geological Congress.

#FossilFriday This billion year old acritarch looks like a scary face. Or a very tired late stage grad student. Or a gammy pie. #Geology #Paleontology

Geosciences has a profound societal impact. From our origin, the climate that we influence, the resources we consume, the natural hazards we face, and stewardship of the environment. We problem solve for a sustainable future, enable an energy transition and a prosperous future.

Fabulous explanation of Victorian earthquakes by @DeeNinis on @abcnews breakfast this morning with @SciNate on Science Mondays 🤩 Hopefully they’ll post the video later today @MonashEAE @AusQuake

Hanging with some #AusPalaeo icons today in the Geoscience Australia Commonwealth Palaeontology Collection. Pretty excited to have found the Alcheringa narrina slide photographed for the front cover of Alcheringa in a drawer 💚♎

As some of you may know, I’m a bit of a fan of #carbonates. Look at this for a fabulous use of #calcite #flowstone in a memorial slab in the floor of St. Paul’s Cathedral, Mdina.

Only 3 Australian states mention a female scientist's work in their yr 11 and 12 coursework - fuelling the ‘lone male genius’ narrative.
@WomenInSTEMAu: the "narrative that old white men are responsible for all scientific discovery is embarrassingly dated"

You know you are in a geologist's house when the robot vacuum gets stuck on a trilobite 😂 #WorkLifeBalance #geologyrocks
How do single parents with two kids attend a uni graduation ceremony? Are accommodations not normal because it's a traditional event? I'm facing so many roadblocks trying to be a good role model, but it's just rent your robes talk later #academicmoms #AcademicChatter
Rockstars in the Red Centre! On the weekend we had a blast launching our new geological guidebook to the Larapinta Trail and talking about the geology of Alice Springs to the public #NationalScienceWeek #NTRocks @GeoSocAustralia

Seems 2023 will be known as the year I only published fieldguides or on Palaeozoic fossils 😆🫣 Someone get me back into a WA Proterozoic Basin quick 🤣⛏️💫
Huge thanks to @JarrettGeo
for this fieldguide collab 🙌⛏️💫 I 🧡 NT rocks and fossils!!!! geoscience.nt.gov.au/gemis/n…

Heartbreaking to see Earth Sciences under the chopping block AGAIN in a time when the world needs its science the most!
Please show your support by signing!
The University of Otago Geology Department is facing a proposed cut of 1/3 of their staff. As a past student, this is very upsetting to hear. If you have a few seconds to sign this that would be greatly appreciated.
