Under the ocean floor, there are iron bullets, needles, and spearheads. But they aren’t manmade. They come from ancient organisms that lived during at least two global warming events. Now, researchers have a new way to study these enigmatic, tiny specimens.

Yay science! 1 of 2 down, and feeling so so grateful. My main side effect: can’t seem to stop happy dancing 💃🤣✌️

Double trouble, watch out world! So happy and so so undeniably grateful 🙌🧪🍻 ⚽️💉💃😷 remember to be respectful and keep social distancing, masking up, and sanitizing AT LEAST until everyone who wants it has it! instagram.com/p/COA8idSDhiq/…

My PhD regalia was completed when my robes came in today, and I’m all about it ✌️😎 #phdlife #pandemiclife #academicregalia #doctorswagner @ University of Utah instagram.com/p/CPCjDb4DLzv/…

Hey there, fellow rock and mineral magnetists!🧲Joshua Feinberg, @CourtneySprain, and I are convening a session at #AGU21. Please consider submitting an abstract or stopping by! Looking forward to seeing you there😊 agu.confex.com/agu/fm21/preli…

Have you ever wondered how ocean chemistry (for example, oxygen and limiting nutrients like iron) will change as the Earth warms up? Courtney Wagner (soon-to-be Peter Buck Fellow) and Ioan Lascu (Mineral Sciences) teamed up with other scientists to answer this question.

Something fun to think about while you look up at the moon tonight 🌙 🧲 theconversation.com/moon-lacked-a-…

AGU Fall Meeting 2021 highlights (sorry, no ranch cups featured). What a BLAST getting to see friends and colleagues in person again. Leaving NOLA feeling reinvigorated! #agufallmeeting #scienceissociety #lunafete instagram.com/p/CXq6l7OOBgf/…

Undergrads! Apply by Feb. 2 for a paid 10-week Natural History Research Experiences internship @nmnh. Interns work closely with scientific mentors to complete independent research projects in Earth science, biology, and anthropology. 🪨🦕🔬 naturalhistory.si.edu/research/natur…

Thanks so much for the feature Smithsonian NMNH! Happy to chat with anyone curious about doing science, especially folks that are unfamiliar with academia😀

Thank you so much to all our #SciOD_IMPACT attendees! This is only the beginning. #inspiration #determination #resilience

A few of the ways we celebrated World Ocean (every)Day over the past week 🌊🧭🦠🧲😀 Pics featuring our amazing #NHRE Smithsonian NMNH intern aka wondergrad @gianna_greger collecting modern magnetotactic bacteria samples and presenting group work at #SciOD_IMPACT smithsonianmag.com/blogs/national…

USGS geologists Drs. Robinson & Self-Trail recently led a workshop at geosociety on micropaleontology. Participants made giant 3-D printed coccolithophores that, in real life, are <100 mm & key to determining ages of ocean sediments in drill cores. #ClimateR_D #WomenInSTEM
