Perhaps most usefully, we also provide a data processing tool that can solve multiple trace element datasets to simultaneously reconstruct temperature and Omega/[CO32-], while fully propagating all sources of uncertainty. (VM28-122 B/Ca + Sr/Ca as an example)

Including fully propagated uncertainties, and highlighting which combinations of species-elemental systems can produce palaeoceanographic reconstructions with the lowest uncertainty:

Almost ~2000 Mg, B, Sr, and Li/Ca data points facilitating new global core-top Mg/Ca, B/Ca, Sr/Ca, and Mg/Li calibrations for six key species.

So sorry to hear the news - all the very best. If there's anything the wider community can do to offer support please reach out.

Fully agree - I think that topic deserves an issue of its own though!

On topics as diverse as stable isotope geochemistry, amorphous precursor phases, inferring ion transport processes, and biomineral polymorph selection. Overall we aim to highlight how the 'vital effect' problem can not only be overcome but also leveraged to understand the organisms we work with!

It was an absolute pleasure to co-guest edit this with @thefosterlab.bsky.social and Ros Rickaby - and features fantastic contributions led by Anne Jantschke, @chalkyoceans.bsky.social, Jarosław Stolarski, Oscar Branson, and Sang Chen
