Here's my talk from #GSA2021: "Students Prefer Locally-Focused Virtual Field Trips; Social Media Delivery Is A Low-Cost Way Of Creating Them". [Abstract/links to tours below.] Enjoy! Feel free to reach out. Always looking to share/learn/collaborate.

@AriTeman @tobi @pmarca Trump definitely won, but the 'landslide' language ignores actual historical context. Even compared to 2008 and 2020 (let alone all of Presidencial history), his win wasn't impressive. Half of Americans rejected him, & they barely took congress.

These revised milestone were based on a lit review conducted in *2019*, before any impacts from COVID. I really wish there were ways to report misinformation on here. (Comments are locked.)

RT @SteveBrusatte: Sharks eating dinosaurs! At the charming @narodnimuzeum in Prague. Totally morbid paleoart. But based on one of the few…

@andrew_leach Also very weird framing: Only two of the eleven articles (plus his editorial). Why are these even in the special issue?

RT @e8chin: We found the Moho today above the Challenger Deep. Here’s a piece of cut serpentinized peridotite from just a bit shy of 6000 m…

Trilobites with antennae are as unnerving to me as dinosaurs with feathers. What an amazing fossil!

Real question: How do you even collection something like that? Wowsers.

@erikharold That's the plan. We'll see what it's like. :)

RT @ryankatzrosene: 🧵Thread with examples of why it’s dumb to say “CO2 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere, so it can’t possibly have an effect…

@joelgombiner X-wing:

Last year, I stopped using Twitter in my classes, as I didn't want to risk sending my students into content like this. This isn't being overly sensitive. No one should see any of this stuff in their feed. It's straight up hate promotion.

RT @ABaucon: Hey geo-lovers! 🌍 I just stumbled upon something incredible—a rock full of trace #fossils from the Permian-Triassic in the #Al…

@FossilLocator Explanation for effect seems unimaginative. Can think of reasons, beyond actual productivity. Attractive males likely more confident/entitled, so might have turned cameras on more in classes/reached out for 1-on-1 (allowing faces to be seen). Also more likely to grade grub?
