As Farage gears up for appearing on BBC One about grooming gangs, it is really important that he is called out on it. There have already been inquiries into grooming gangs. Likes of Farage want to make them about race, they aren't, and trying to pretend otherwise allows other offenders to carry on 👇

Kudos to editors of Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry for this detailed retraction notice. * link to @pubpeer.com thread. * background: of the 7 authors, 6 were added to the revised version without approval by the editor. Most likely paper mill. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Now we're looking for an "enthusiastic PhD student"...🙄 When I was in academia, an autistic PhD student once kindly educated me about how conveying enthusiasm was, for them, incredibly challenging...

Ready for some more interesting facts about earthquake magnitude? Each whole number increase in magnitude is a 10x increase in the measured amplitude (size of earthquake waves recorded on a seismometer), but represents 32x more energy released. This video gives a visual demonstration.

Ammonite is much loved in Japan. The logo of the Paleontological Society of Japan is an ammonite. For the most people, a fossil = an ammonite fossil.

Some 780 million years ago, a massive, singular continent, Rodinia, was being torn apart by convective forces within the Earth. In Glacier National Park this tumultuous event is marked by a thin, dark igneous rock, squirted between layers of limestone, the Purcell Sill, adding favor to Mt. Gould.

BEWARE! The earthquake predictors have arrived and they’ve preemptively blocked many (maybe all?) of us that fought back against their pseudoscience and harmful messaging on the other site. If you have a question about earthquakes be sure to talk to an actual expert - many are here!

A large M7.6 #earthquake and tsunami threat in Japan, but for once it is not associated with the subduction thrust off the east coast - it's a higher angle thrust in the overriding plate on the west coast (subducting plate here is probably 100+ km deep) earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

I tend to think this gets forgotten in discussions of science funding. There are many that want all three and that probably underlies a lot of the frustrations with the current postdoc issues.

Fellow geoscientists, if you have students attending AGU for the first time, tell them about how the session codes work! It took embarrassingly long for me to realize the numbers tell you when the session is, e.g. S41A is on the 4th day (Thurs) in the 1st block (8:30-10:00).
