#Museum30 Day 2: Who am I? I am Mariah and I'm the Museum and Collections Manager at the Museum of Geosciences. I love working in the collections, working with students, conducting outreach, and improving the Museum's space.💎🪨🦖

New #BedrockTalks blog post alert! 🚨 This month @DavidGLitwin wrote about academic travel & his recent trip to Potsdam, Germany! criticalzone.org/bedrock/litwin…

It's #Museum30 this month, and Museum of Geosciences Museum & Collections Manager Mariah Green is doing amazing work over on the Museum's account! Check it out!

Not half as thrilled as we are! Welcome aboard @Juliamorphology

Today's class poll results (90 students): they are about as worried about pandemics as they are about the zombie apocalypse.

Yesterday's oceanography class poll results, asking their preference on the prompt: "Star Trek or Star Wars?". I just don't get Gen Z.

On the annual occasion of reading faculty activity reports, I wish I could say I found solace in the wisdom of Wendell Berry. But no, I still have to summarize everyone's teaching with a single number.

Congratulations to ⁦@EEllis_Geo⁩ of ⁦Geosciences at VT⁩ for a terrific and award-winning lightning talk at the 7th annual Nutshell Games! ⁦VT Center for Communicating Science⁩

Great job by ⁦Mohammad Khorrami⁩ of ⁦Geosciences at VT⁩ in his lightning talk on carbon capture and earthquakes, at VT’s 7th annual Nutshell Games! Great example of a memorable stage prop. ⁦VT Center for Communicating Science⁩

OK, maybe the AI revolution isn't as close as I thought. #ChatGPTFail

It's Geosciences at VT vs. Biology Dept. on #GivingDay - winning dept gets to throw pie in the face of opposing dept head. Fighting words from Biology below! It's neck-and-neck. Even a $5 donation gets $10 added by an alum! Help us win by noon today here: givingday.vt.edu/amb/geos

This is so cool, Ali!

If they're accurate, these poll results (from my 3000-level oceanography class) suggest that the panic among professors about ChatGPT and academic integrity may be out in front of adoption of AI tools by our students... (caveat emptor; not a scientific poll!)

Honored to celebrate National Academy of Sciences ⁦National Academy of Sciences⁩ inductees Bob Bodnar and Shuhai Xiao along with our other ⁦NAS member Trish Dove. ⁦Geosciences at VT⁩ ⁦Virginia Tech Science⁩ Three members from one very proud department!

I'm delighted for the two new National Academy of Sciences members from Geosciences at VT -- Shuhai Xiao and Bob Bodnar. Whether it's the evolution of life in the Precambrian, or the evolution of Earth's crust as seen through fluid inclusions, these two have changed geoscience. Congratulations!

O Wyoming I’ve missed you
