Visited IGGCAS cryptotephra lab in Beijing and completed my first tephra talk in Chinese today.

Two PhD students scanning tephra in the evening with a substantial amount of slides on the desk behind their back.

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
