Help? We’re applying for a geoscience outreach award. We need nomination letters. Are you someone working in geoscience education or outreach, think Mineral Cup is worthy, and are willing to write us kind words by May 22? Please drop a note to hastagmincup@gmail.com for details. Thank you!

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners. Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious. We cannot stay silent.

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter: (1) your haters are trash (2) you’re a baller, a true queen (3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

Prague, 23 November 1911 Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie, Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i

🌍 We need more young people (and adults, quite frankly) to learn about climate change, so I was very happy to sign this open letter to the Secretary of State for Education in the UK. ✍🏿 If you feel the same, please read and sign the letter, as well as reading more about this issue here 🔽

Open letter to Bridget Phillipson with a stellar list of signatories: www.tes.com/magazine/new.... You can sign it too, follow the link to the letter from the article to find the form.

Labour Councillor Laurie Burton must apologise to me in writing for calling me a man. It has been determined by the Monitoring Officer at Southend On Sea City Council. I expect it to be sincere and brought to me in a timely manner. This is a victory for trans people. Pass it on!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

I consider that an informal resolution is a proportionate outcome for Complaint 2 which can be resolved by the Subject Councillor making an apology to you in writing and being required to attend social media training with a specific focus on responses to posts made by others so as to increase their awareness of the dangers and pitfalls that this presents to those in public office. There is no right of appeal against my decision, as Monitoring Officer, to resolve the matter by informal resolution. However, you do have the right to refer the matter to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman. The Ombudsman does not offer a right of appeal against a council's decision on member conduct complaints, but they can consider if there was fault in the way the council considered the complaint. Please see Complaints about Standards and Member Conduct - Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman. The Complaints process and the details of any consideration of complaints are confidential and you are kindly asked not to disclose the contents of this letter, save for the purpose of advice. A copy of this decision letter has been sent to Councillor Burton. Yours sincerely Susan Zeiss Director Legal Services and Monitoring Officer

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.
