For those of us that have had to fight, choose to fight, & are still fighting, this UKRI announcement comes as a massive blow.
I don't have useful words yet as I am still processing, but this is a massive step backwards, & one I know our community won't take lying down.
Really great to see @NatStephen and be a part of #GSA2023. I'm curious though, how many more would have had the opportunity to participate if the hybrid option were still available? Science must be accessible and inclusive. @AccessibleGEO
Today marks the start of Earth Science Week, running until 14 Oct and celebrating the theme βGeoscience Innovating for Earth and Peopleβ.
With a busy week of activities in the Society and beyond, keep an eye out for events you can get involved in! ow.ly/5ZV450PU1VH
So @LPItoday#LPSC is back in The Woodlands for 2024 despite promises to move it, and not only is TX not the best place for an international meeting, the conference hotel is $500/night!?! #LPSC2024hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc20β¦
