Deep waters run quiet. Shallow waters make a lot of noise, so much so that everything else is drowned out. Listen to those who are deep.

Stay safe, #AGU2022 goers!

First-time in person AGU since Covid! Thrilled to meet old friends and see so many shining faces! #AGU2022 #MondayMadness Dr. Kanani K. M. Lee (she/her) Jie Deng @seismonologist Vasilije V. Dobrosavljevic (he/him)

Same sweater at AGU before Covid VS AGU this year! #AGU2022 It was so awesome to reconnect with colleagues, learn a lot about on going research, finish a well received talk and present a poster all together! Hope to see you all again with science glowing in the future!

Hi world! We’re 3 3-month old kittens, and our caregiver is a geoscientist. She said we are felsic and mafic. Our names are Dolomite, Rutile and Mica (123🎼). We don’t know what does that mean, but we like playing soccer, and we think we can play meowneral cup next year!#Worldcup

Wait, what's that? A list of all the minerals competing in #MinCup23? YES! mineralcup.org/mineral-cup-20… Bracket released as soon as we finish checking for typos & accidental repeated matchups. Voting starts September 1 on our website.

We have a bracket!! #MinCup23 is coming fast and we’re scrambling to get ready. Our website has this year’s mineral list, starting bracket, and even a test vote if you want to warm up your polling muscles: mineralcup.org

Kick off #Mincup23! After the introduction about this covalent bond diamond simulant and explanation of its double reflection, and a brief mention about the multiple usages of kaolinite, this sparkler was surpassed by its humble counterpart in my class: 20 vs 30 Mineral Cup #MinCup

We made it! Glad to attend the 46th annual Gem, mineral, and fossil show in Indy with EAPS students on Saturday! We found adamite and dioptase listed in Mineral Cup #MinCup, and again the gorgeous opalized fossil from Coober Pedy mine in Australia. Go, Team #opal !

When the trees dressed up, so do we! 🍁1st Mineral cosplay by EAPS 243 students! I’m so impressed by their bright ideas to show themselves as minerals! ⛰️Like happy minerals, we’ll always be!💕Purdue EAPS
