In this #LamontVoices moment, Emily Klein and Terry Plank reflect on arriving at @LamontEarth as graduate students just after the plate tectonics revolution, and being shaped by a culture that encouraged tackling the biggest scientific questions.

#ScientistsForHarris👇 Many scientists are affected by our immigration laws and many international conferences were moved out of the US due to issues with visas during the Trump administration

I cannot vote as a permanent resident, and so my fate and that of my family are dependent on all of you who can vote. The Trump years were chaotic and stressful for those of us on temporary student/work visas. I don't want that to happen again Tomorrow, please vote #HarrisWalz

Chris Jackson’s poignant story is an example of how seniority doesn’t inoculate Black people from racism. Thank you @seis_matters for being so open with me about the institutional gaslighting and harassment you’ve had to endure over the past year. Solidarity ✊🏾 #racisminscience
