New paper: “you just look at rocks, and have beards” Perceptions of Geology From the United Kingdom: A Qualitative Analysis From an Online Survey. We explore perceptions of geology from both 'Non-geologists' and 'Geologists', who describe the subject very differently! ⚒️🧪 doi.org/10.3389/esss...
The illustration is separated into three main sections: perceptions highlighted by the work, themes drawn from the data and conclusions.
Perceptions - many perceptions highlighted that geology was just about describing and cataloguing rock, the poor diversity amongst geologists was highlighted, the discipline was described as being niche, and boring.
Themes - "what is geology" - there is a struggle to define the discipline. "Geology is boring" there was an overwhelming number of instances that the subject was described as boring (mostly byn-geologists). "Employability and destructive practices" - this theme highlights that many only see outdoors, remote and often hydrocarbon linked jobs available for geologists, geologists themselves describe a huge variety of occupations and opportunities. "Diversity and Inclusivity" - the lack of diversity amongst geologists is highlighted as a barrier to entering the field.
Conclusions - highlights storytelling, inclusivity, interdisciplinarity

I have resigned as poetry editor of The New York Times

The Israeli state's U.S-backed war against the people of Gaza is not a war for anyone. There is no safety in it or from it, not for Israel, not for the United States or Europe, and especially not for the many Jewish people slandered by those who claim falsely to fight in their names. Its only profit is the deadly profit of oil interests and weapon manufacturers. The world, the future, our hearts everything grows smaller and harder from from it. This is not only a war of missiles and land invasions. It is the ongoing devastation of the people of Palestine, people who have resisted throughout decades of occupation, forced dislocation, deprivation, surveillance, siege, imprisonment, and torture.
Because our status quo is self-expression, sometimes all artists have left is to refuse. So I refuse. I won't write about poetry alongside the "reasonable" tones of those who aim to acclimatize us to unreasonable suffering. No more g
