New paper alert! Our investigations into the origin of magmatic and tectonic fabrics in a felsic pluton from eastern India has been published in Geological Magazine. The full paper is now online at doi.org/10.1017/S00167… Zoja Vukmanovic Saibal Gupta

So blueeeee!

One of my data friends emailed this to me. I’m in tears 🤣🤣🤣

Mineral Cup #MinCup Jadeite is the mineral that forms when albite (plagioclase) goes down a subduction zone. Vote plate tectonics! Vote jadeite!

You know who my vote goes to! Gorgeous 'buttterscotch' crystals of Wulfenite displayed in the NHM, London #MinCup2022

This atomic-scale movie upends a 100-year-old theory! Thanks to record-breaking 🔬 video resolution at our @molecularfoundry, scientists have discovered 🔎 how atomic-scale defects direct #nanoparticle growth. Check it out ⬇️ newscenter.lbl.gov/2022/07/26/how…

The story of Ingeborg Rapoport, who, in 2015, 74 years after being denied her Ph.D by the Nazis for being Jewish, she successfully defended her dissertation and received her doctorate at the age of 102, making her the oldest person ever to receive one ow.ly/mYf330oqjSB

Rather chuffed to announce that I have joined as a postdoctoral researcher at the Deep Carbon Lab Università di Bologna. I am a part of the ERC DeepSeep project and I will be looking at hydrogen migration pathways in deformed ophicarbonates with Alberto VItale Brovarone

UEA PhD opportunity: Interested in igneous petrology, rock microstructure, and fieldwork, we have a project for you: Magma emplacement and its evolution: aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/v…. Come and work with ProfJenniBarclay, Marian Holness (Uni Cambridge), Eduardo Mansur (NGU) and myself.

June 23, 2021 my son, Geologist went missing in the Sonora desert of Maricopa County Arizona while working. I'm still searching for him. I need your continued help to spread awareness. Public support is one of the most valuable things that a family like mine can have. Thank you!

Check out this article about my research on deep energy for life and the European Research Council (ERC) #DeepSeep project, just out in Nature Italy. nature.com/articles/d4397… Thanks Anna Violato for the nice interview and @jacopaso for the photo. @deep_carbon
