Today seems like a good day to honour Rosalind Franklin, British chemist who first observed the structure of DNA 🧬 www.kcl.ac.uk/people/rosal...

There is lots we can't do at the moment to make the world a better place, but opening up @geolsoc.bsky.social on the day of #Pride in London (we're on the parade route!) might be one of them! Join us for drinks, nibbles, & photo booth fun with our LGBTQ+ group! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ www.geolsoc.org.uk/events/gsl-p...

There is some chaos again in academic publishing, so a quick reminder that some societies manage their own journals in house & offer OA options, discounts, read & publish deals etc. Any "profits" go back into the Society to support charitable activities incl. education & funding #AcademicSky

I keep thinking (hoping?) I will start to use BlueSky regularly and it'll be different to the other place, that it'll be "better" somehow, but the world seems to be burning and it's just... We deserve better. ALL of us.

Not unexpected, but still 😭 #AcademicSky
Screenshot of text. Text reads;  

We write to you today with heavy hearts to let you know that under the new Executive Order: Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing, NASA has been tasked with ending all work and programs affiliated with diversity, equity, and inclusion. Current and future proposal calls will no longer have an Inclusion Plan requirement, and the contract role I’ve played in building and maintaining this incredible group of individuals and studying our inclusion efforts has ended.

And so it begins, #AGU24! Already got lost trying to find the first room this morning, but full of excitement for the science this week, starting today with lots of #PlanetaryScience, #AI & #MachineLearning, along with #SciencePolicy..

Well, a surprisingly sunny 19°C Sunday afternoon in DC today made for a nice walk before the week's chaos begins! Who else is around for #AGU24 this week? There will be a few of us from @geolsoc.bsky.social about, so come say hello! ⚒️ #academicsky

In case you haven't heard, @geolsoc.bsky.social has finally secured a 999-year lease at Burlington House, securing its future! Work now begins to make it more accessible & sustainable, as well as focus on education & outreach more regionally as well! ⚒️ Full statement: geolsoc.org.uk/burlingtonho...
An image of the entrance to the courtyard at Burlington House; a large, ornate stone arch with black iron gates below adorned with gold details. A red banner hangs overhead, reading "Burlington House, Royal Academy of Arts, Geological Society, Royal Society of Chemistry, Royal Astronomical Society, Linnean Society". It's a sunny day with clear blue skies behind, and sunlight illuminating the walls behind the banner.
