#minsoc150 Banquet dinner. Great to see so many colleagues in mineralogy

Not long now until the Mineralogical Society at 150 meeting begins! We will be supporting Session 10: Advances in Mineralogical Analysis - Development of Techniques for 21st Century Research on Tuesday 10am-6pm in the Bragg Lecture Theatre by funding two keynote speakers. minsoc-150.org/programme/

A great first afternoon of GGRiP. In our second session, Barbara Kunz gives a revealing keynote discussing element mobility during high-temperature metamorphism.

GGRiP Bristol has begun! @alexauderset.bsky.social gave a fantastic keynote on nitrogen isotopes as a tool in paleoceanography!

A reminder that early bird registration for the GGRiP meeting closes in 3 days (15th Feb). After this, prices will increase! Please visit the GGRiP website ggrip2026.co.uk to register NOW. You have another two weeks until the abstract submission deadline (27th Feb).
