it is also heavily used in making high temperature sample holders and about a billion other applications in science and chemistry.

I'm brand-new to the #mincup competition and have a question: I heard that #ActualLivingScientists would be sharing facts about the different competitors. How much on-my-own research should I do, and/or where can I find these knowledge drops?
Thank you.

I'm Susie, a nerd/mother of cats (Mara Jade and Leia) who loves Star Wars, Hawai'i, geology, Outlander, books, movies, MinCup.
My husband and I are in the Rebel & 501st Legions for Star Wars costuming, though I haven't been able to do that recently because I have a bad back that has left me disabled.
I still dream of going for a Master's in Geology. But I'm not exactly young, lol.

Hello Mastodon. I’m a former geologist turned geospatial professional and earth observation/remote sensing analyst and budding developer. Hoping to re-create the great community I had found on Twitter through things like the #30DayMapChallenge and #MinCup. To start here is my bad map for the #30DayMapChallenge today, and most of the rest of my maps so far are on my website (https://bit.ly/3WKf7iP).
