To the spouses who found out they were being cheated on via the Coldplay jumbotron: sorry to hear that. Come see Spinal Tap. We promise no jumbotrons, just ear damage and emotional closure.

Solution isn't "hire more conservatives". It's a from-the-top effort by universities, grant makers, funders, science writers to stop admitting, hiring, and promoting people who don't do unbiased, rigorous research. That's literally all we have to do - and should do! 10/x

In getting ready for the upcoming field season in 🇦🇶 I have discovered that my beloved Patagonia pullover in Princeton University 🟠 has an un-patchable tear in the arm. How will I ever survive the harsh continent?!

What exactly is new here? Why do these high-profile journals continue to tell the same over-interpreted story.🥱 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share our new paper in Nature Geoscience! 🌍 We show that the basal exsolution contaminated magma ocean (BECMO) may simultaneously explain both the geophysical and geochemical heterogeneities of the deep Earth. Nature Geoscience Geosciences Princeton University Qian Yuan
