It is #TsunamiPreparednessWeek in British Columbia - a great time to learn more about the past and prepare for the future, starting with stories and lessons passed down from those who have lived on this coast for 1000’s of years 🧪⚒️🌊

Write a love letter to yourself. Tell yourself how proud of you you are with wonderfully specific examples. Tell yourself the things you adore about yourself. Adorn it with ❤️s & 💐 and tuck it somewhere semi-secret & find it any time you need to feel just a little giddy about how fantastic you are.

Four of the Big Five Publishers Sign Letter Urging Congress to Restore IMLS
Shuttering IMLS would be "an act of monumental neglect, violating the very foundation of America and what it stands for as a country," the publishers assert.

The message is: crowd large.
Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.
Events like this puncture that delusion.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.
People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

Do you think if we plotted awareness of the word “prerogative” it would peak in 1988?
Maybe with a bump in 2004?
Does anyone use that word anymore?

Incredible lava fountaining of Fuego 🌋 tonight. Live camera; as of midnight Pacific time it’s still going strong.
Fuego’s last large eruption like this was in May 2023. It was unusually quiet from mid-Jan until early this morning.

Calling on science-loving artists:
I'm looking for musicians, artists, writers, filmmakers, etc. who are passionate about translating science to a broader audience. The field is at the intersection of geoscience, paleo, climate, biology, and conservation. This is a funded opportunity. Tag your favorite STEAM folks, please!

So loved talking with @parmvir.com for @2scientists.bsky.social — follow her and the podcast for accessible brainy 🧠 takes on science and scientists (and science communication) of all flavors.
A smart take for #scicomm by examining an otherwise unremarkable daily activity.
One of the many reasons we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Beth for her episode "Eat the Crust"

Interesting drive to the train station with my dad yesterday that exemplified a few things about trust and information.
Dad was driving and told his car nav to show the route to the station. I had Google Maps on my phone do the same so I could help him.
But the maps didn’t agree w his experience…

So here's my challenge to all you geology instructors: ask your students why plates subduct and report back on their answers.
Pretty please!
Pretty please!
Geology instructors, how do you explain why plates subduct? My students are hung up on "oceanic crust is denser than continental crust". But crust alone is too buoyant to subduct--it has to be pulled by cold mantle. My students don't seem to get this. How do you all explain it?

I tried my hand at making a volcano scientist starter pack… but the number of people on bluesky has been changing almost too fast to keep up with!

Hi Bluesky! I research communication, relationships, and decision-making for risk reduction with a focus on volcanic hazards 🌋 and an eye on equity. Background in geology, Spanish, geophysics, journalism, and social science (broadly). Here for science and cats and new ideas about everything.
