When @philipheron started investigating doing science education in prisons, he wanted people to feel like science could help them in some way. ‘To know that you can learn from science and science can learn from you.’ chemistryworld.com/opinion/t…

New research by a team of #UofT geoscientists is refining the century-old model of plate tectonics that holds that the plates covering the ocean floors are rigid as they move across the Earth’s mantle. 🌎 #UTSC utsc.utoronto.ca/news-events…

Oceanic plateaux from the Pacific reveal that oceanic plates may not be as strong as they were thought to be. Check out our article "Syn-Drift Plate Tectonics" published in Geophysical Research Letters. doi.org/10.1029/2023GL105452 @UofT @UofTEarthSci @UTSC_DPES @itu_aybe @NSERC_CRSNG
