Had a great time at GSA with the geo community! But I definitely need to clarify that I have not been director of (or active in) the IAGD @accessiblegeo.bsky.social since January. The current executive committee can help with info, networking, and connecting with the org.

We are excited to bring back GeoSPACE in it's full version - complete with virtual participation option for summer 2026. Content focus is planetary, volcanology and basic field geology. Come hang with the cool kids next summer!
The application window for GeoSPACE 2026 is now open! Join us online or in-person in Arizona for a two-week planetary geology field camp through @ufgeology.bsky.social. Open to geo-gators as well as visitors from other schools. If you are looking for an accessible field camp, check us out! ⚒️

Should #lpi and #usra restore all censored abstracts? Should they commit to preserving scientific freedom of speech at #lpsc? And should they commit to not censoring #lpsc2026 submissions?

![PETITION: CONDITIONS FOR ATTENDING LPSC 2026
Concerned members of the community have penned and signed an open
letter to USRA/LPI and USRA outlining steps that we feel must be taken
before we will consider attending LPSC 2026. These steps include
restoring all purged abstracts (except those where NASA has
specifically directed or first authors have requested removal), and
committing to preserving academic freedom of speech at the conference.
You can find out more here, and add your name (anonymously if you wish)
at this link:

This petition will be open until the end of July.

One week ago, I got to witness an eruption at Kilauea Halemaʻumaʻu crater. The fire fountain was hundreds of feet tall, it was incredible! I am just getting around to playing with my photos from that night, so enjoy this belated look at eruption #11 in the 2025 sequence 😍🌋

Heading home from a wonderful seminar visit to U of Hawaii Hilo and Manoa. Saw humpback whales, sea turtles, amazing landscapes and one of my bucket list natural wonders- a fire fountain!! Thanks Kilauea (episode 11 on 2/25/25 for the volcano nerds who want to know) 🤩

We just hit our 50 donor target, thank you all so much - I recognized many familiar names on the donor list! February 20 is the finale of this fundraiser so it's not too late to chip in. More funds means we can accept more students, and I am so grateful for everyone's support!
Geo-community: GeoSPACE needs your help. It costs about $2,500 per student to run this accessible field course and many of our students simply can't afford that. Bonus points if you donate this week and help us unlock a donor pledge with 50 donations of any size. Thank you in advance!!

Update: UF has decided my work is exempt from the DEIA ban as long as it focuses on research and doesn't "stray into advocacy". I'm happy I can move forward, but feel like I'm moving forward on a tightrope.
Yesterday UF sent out a stop work order on DEIA activities, impacting my entire research program, likely including @geospace-field.bsky.social. I put my whole heart into my accessibility work. It's hard to see it, and so many other worthy equity projects crushed 💔

Every single one of my grants is likely to get pulled out of consideration if this is true. I had millions of dollars of potential funding wrapped up into these opportunities, wasted potential for students in Hawai‘i.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
