I've just filed a story about about Ukraine, critical minerals, and rare earth elements. Having learned the barest smidgen of geology in the process I'm now very sad that there is no one in my life who would appreciate my rare earth in-jokes.

Stymied by oil and gas sanctions, Russia's looking to tap its considerable lithium deposits. One major site could punt Russia into becoming one of the world's top producers. BUT: Developing that is not as easy as it sounds, multiple experts told me. www.businessinsider.com/russia-big-p...

Some exciting news from @economist.com. All American service members—all 1.3m active duty, and those retired—now have free access to The Economist's website, thanks to a deal with DoD. If I'm not mistaken, you can access it through DoD's library pages: www.dodmwrlibraries.org. Happy reading.
