We suggest geologists need to better align with other disciplines (including social sci and humanities), shout about the relevance of the subject in a modern and inclusive way, and push the narrative of Earth story telling (processes, history/future).

Agreed! One of my most valued collaborators at the University of Kentucky was @lecagle.bsky.social from our Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies Department. We shared our work at both American Geophysical Union and Rhetoric Society of America meetings. https://rhetoricsociety.confex.com/rhetoricsociety/2022/meetingapp.cgi/Session/1519
