This summary written by the paper's lead author Steve Rogers. It was a big team project - huge thanks to co-authors @gilespalaeo.bsky.social @drnatashadowey.bsky.social @rehemat24.bsky.social Katrien Van Landeghem and Chris King

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).

'Geologists' tend to describe an interdisciplinary subject that changes how you see and interact with the world, with a wide range of job prospects for a wide range of people - but then really struggle to clarify this when describing "what is geology"

'Non-geologists' describe the subject as being niche, only for outdoors types, focused on describing rocks, and as being overwhelmingly boring... (amongst many other perceptions!)

On the first floor. I think the room volume is small compared to the capacity - fairly low ceiling. Perhaps it was a windless day or perhaps something about the geometry of the building just doesn't encourage exchange through the windows. Either way, I'm just so tired of this being my problem. 😞

This was a lecture theatre - that I was assigned to after I asked for the most covid-safe space they could find for me. And the windows were open.
I was able to fix it by opening the door to the hall and opening the windows in the hall, but no one else teaching in that space is doing similar.

Indeed. 😒 I have had to resort to buying my own personal CO2 monitor and bringing it with me . . .
