Our geology students sent this around, but not sure where it started. This would make a great series- how about some geophysics ones 😂😂😂

Six panel comic. In the first, a person yells, “won’t you entertain my bad faith hypothetical argument?” In the following four panels, an Angel comes down from the sky to deliver a note. In the final panel, the note is opened to say, “no.”

Parents, please check your kids' candy this Halloween! Just found a magnitude 9 Cascadia megathrust earthquake causing a massive tsunami inside this fun size Snickers bar.
A Snicker bar pulled apart to reveal a scientific model of the impact of a magnitude 9 earthquake on the Washington coast, buried between the nougat and the caramel. I hate it when this happens. Halloween used to be a respectable holiday. Now it's earthquake this and tsunami that. Anyway, if you're hungry, grab a candy bar. If you want to escape that oncoming tsunami, grab our evacuation maps.

Not often that I get to see two of my favorite things, lichen and efforts to remedy historic erasure of trans women in STEM, in one article. Great read daily.jstor.org/the-unsung-h…

The Unsung Heroine of Lichenology - JSTOR Daily

Elke Mackenzie’s moments of self-citation illuminate the hopes of someone who, against ease and tradition, did not wish to separate her identity from her research.
