GeoSPACE was a spark that lit my interest in volcanoes and planetary geology, and that's why I'm thrilled to celebrate this AGU award honoring the GeoSPACE team.

It's a recognition of the mentorship and opportunities that make a program like GeoSPACE life-changing for students.
Exciting Announcement: Our program is the 2025 winner of the @agu.org Award for Advancing Inclusive Excellence in STEM! We are so thankful to our peers and former students that nominated us for creating geoscience field training opportunities for all ⚒️🌎♿

Yoshita 1967 seems cool. The line is inspired by the designer's Indo-Kenyan heritage. Appears to involve a lot of handwork, such as crocheting and beadwork.

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it
