ME – Science-a-thon for ESWN

1

June 25, 2017 by Dr. G

I’m participating in the Science-a-thon (https://www.scienceathon.org/), a global effort by scientists to document their lives for 12 hours on one day with 12 photos. Photos are being posted on Twitter and Instagram to offer a glimpse into what a day in the life of a scientist looks like. I blogged about the project on my AGU blog, and the project is also raising funds to support the Earth Science Women’s Network (https://eswnonline.org/) (see my CrowdRise fundraising page).

Although the official day of the Science-a-thon is July 13th, I participated early! (scientists have the option to do so). You can check out my 12 tweets from my participation on June 22nd while I was in Maine, and please do click on the links in the tweets to my Instagram account to read a fuller description of my adventures for the day.

I’ve also summarized everything on Storify. Please tune in to social media on July 13th to learn from other scientists with the hashtag #ScientistForADay – Enjoy!

    […] see the life of a scientist beyond the laboratory and fieldwork. I created a blog post about my Science-a-Thon adventures in Maine back in 2017, and I was looking forward to participating this year while at sea on the JOIDES Resolution. […]

#FrontDoorScience continues with mini-quilts that call attention to species given protection by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Each month, I'm swapping out the quilts and the science information supporting them. May is calling attention to bees. #DidYouKnow that the rusty patched bumblebee is the 1st and only bumblebee species native to the continental U.S. listed as endangered? The IUCN Red List has 18 species of bees as endangered and 9 as critically endangered.
One of my favorite photos I took on @joides_resolution last year was a sunset view from the stern of the ship. I took that sunset photo from the South Atlantic Ocean and shifted it to looking out at a daytime sky, filled with clouds, while standing on the red-colored deck behind the yellow railing.
Finishing up latest #quilt - can you tell what it is?
I wasn't originally going to be making this quilt for my @joides_resolution #EXP390 quilt collection - but every geoscience project needs a location map, right?
Throwback to #maythefourth and #starwarsday on @joides_resolution in 2022! I brought one of my quilts and we had a vote for our favorite #StarWars character.
