Great to hear about the Technician Commitment initiative out of the UK from Matt Horstwood (on behalf of Dan Condon) in #Goldschmidt2023 Session 14e. Starting out my research life in a whole variety of labs certainly gave me an appreciation for the value of technical staff, and the consequences of insufficient support individually and across research departments.

Interestingly, the University of Sydney has now signed onto this previously UK-only program.

For those interested in open source tools and software in geochemistry, petrology and related fields, the #Goldschmidt2023 session "Geoscientists’ Little Helpers – small software tools with big impact" is showcasing a wide ensemble of new and existing projects across the community. It's certainly nice to see a spotlight on all of these things enabling new science across the community!

Il governo russo ha dichiarato il rabbino capo della Russia, Pinchas #Goldschmidt, “agente straniero”.
Goldschmidt, che ha abbandonato la Russia per timore di ritorsioni, ha affermato: “Cercano di reindirizzare la rabbia dei russi verso gli ebrei. I miei amici di lingua russa si sono congratulati con me, per essere incluso in un elenco così prestigioso di persone.”

I don't really have much to say, I just came on here to look around and wanted to toot out that this place really does feel nice. It's somehow, cozy? I've had a weird and rough few days, and the wife is leaving for Leon, FR on Saturday so I was just laying here feeling anxious but Mastodon feels nice.

If anyone is going to #Goldschmidt say hello to my favorite geologist (my wife)
