It's so great to see this package (on CRAN since 2021) finally formally described in a journal! Here's to many more years of standardized, customizable, and reproducible geology data visualization! And shout out to @richardstockey.bsky.social and @lewisajones.bsky.social for years of encouragement!

Heard from a former (undergrad) student who just defended her PhD. Students: tell your old profs about your successes and achievements. It's not bragging, and we love to hear about it. It's one of the best parts of being an educator. #academicsky

Hey check out my dire wolf

A dark gray dog (half GSD, half pitbull terrier) laying on his back on a green fleece blanket covering a dark brown couch. His head is turned out to the side and his front right leg is pointing straight up in the air. His back legs are splayed out in frog position, showing remarkable hip flexibility. He is a just a big ol baby.

!New Paper Alert! Matrix independent and interference free in situ boron isotope analysis by laser ablation MC-ICP-MS/MS pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a.... In it we use our Neoma MC-ICPMS/MS to overcome the complexities of measuring boron isotopes by Laser Ablation in carbonates and other minerals. ⚒️🧪🌊🪸

Cross plots of d11B reference value vs. what we measure using Laser Ablation on our Neoma MC-ICPMS/MS. All the data lie on the 1:1 line showing that we can get accurate d11B data using laser ablation on a range of matrices from carbonate to silicate when normalised to NIST 612 glass.

Mass scans from m/z 9.7 to 11.1 for the Neoma MS/MS, base Neoma and Neptune when ablating carbonates. The Neptune shows an elevated background due to scattering of Ca and Ar 4+ ions. This is reduced in the base Neoma and entirely eliminated in the Neoma MS/MS. We think this is because the formation of Ca4+ and Ar4+ is reduced in this design of MS and scattering of this multiply charged ions is reduced once Ar and Ca are cut out by the pre-filter.

This shows the problem with laser ablation boron isotopes in carbonates on our Neptune MC-ICPMS. It shows a mass scan from m/z 9.7 to m/z 11.1 with peaks at the boron masses 10B and 11B. Rather than being a flat line - the baseline is elevated around boron 10 (and 11) due to scattering of 4+ Ar and Ca.

A very pointless & unproductive thing I did is analyze electoral durations of U.S. House Representatives. Two superficial similarities to Phanerozoic taxon durations jump out: (1) declining turnover rates through time & (2) the election of 1932 was basically the P-Tr mass extinction for Republicans.

Pleasantly surprised to see @gernon.bsky.social and colleagues research mentioned in my kids science magazine (Oyla) in their article about greenhouse gases and climate change 👍👍👍

Photo of a magazine article, a text box placed next to an active volcano with ash/gas emitting.

Text box text: New research has debunked the myth that human influence is a mere trifle compared to that of volcanoes.
In August of 2021, University of Southampton professor THOMAS GERNON, in an article on global chemical weathering published in the journal Nature Geoscience, presented calculations revealing that humans' annual carbon emissions are 150 times greater than the combined output of every volcano on the planet. As a result, the concentration of CO, in the atmosphere today has hit a record high, unseen in the past three million years.
