Things are pretty awful in the US right now, so I am trying to channel my nervous energy into creative and educational things...
So I'm designing a new geoscience education game for my freshman class. It's a quick play card game about the geological timescale... Anyone want to play this semester?

Haha, sorry to add to the complexity... I'd love to hear more about those modern samples (wrinkles or Beggiatoa?)

Yay! Man, my students get vicious... Board games bring out something primal in some of them 😜 and it's never the ones you expect!

Thank you so much to all the wonderful students, colleagues, and mentors, I would be lost without you all and the science wouldn't be anywhere near as fun! 💕

Mass extinction/Paleozoic friends... I have some folks in my Extinction class eager to read about Paleozoic biotic crises, so what's your favorite paper/papers about these events? Both new/exciting and classic/seminal work in the field would be appreciated. Self promotion welcome 😜.

🚨Heads up GSA Abstract submitters🚨
This year you cannot edit abstracts after they have been submitted/paid for. I don't think this is GSA's intention (their confirmation email says you can edit up to the deadline), but don't pay for your abstract until you are done and have no more edits!
