ESWN Professional Development and Networking Committee Survey 2025

by George Cooper

Dear Geochemists, Here is a message posted on behalf of the Earth Science Women’s Network: After a successful set of events over the past four years, the Earth Science Women's Network Professional Development and Networking Committee (formerly Member Events) is now planning a new set of event activities for implementation in future years from late 2025 onwards. We know that the landscape today may feel quite different to how it was several years ago. To ensure that our activities are aligned with the needs and interests of the ESWN community and that they are timely, we invite you to participate in a ~5 minutes survey (open to all) to help us shape the program: https://forms.gle/DyZHMhvNVzV7J5zh7<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…> The first part of the survey collects demographic information as we would like to know more about the ESWN community and membership, to ensure we are creating events suitable to the needs of those we serve. This survey will close on June 30 2025. We are hugely appreciative of your time and thank you for your thoughts and contributions. If you have any questions, please email events [at] eswnonline [dot] org We look forward to receiving your response! The ESWN Professional Development and Networking Committee -- Earth Science Women's Network Professional Development and Networking Committee (formerly Member Events Committee) Dr. Karin Ardon-Dryer (Earth Science Women’s Network Professional Development and Networking Co-Chair) Dr. Rehemat Bhatia (Earth Science Women’s Network Professional Development and Networking Co-Chair) Find out more about ESWN: https://eswnonline.org/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feswnonlin…>

Geochemistry Group Updates - Donating to MAC Green Futures campaign

by George Cooper

Dear Geochemists, Some good news to share with you! As part of the annual GGRiP conference, a fringe-inspired open-mic night was held in the beautiful setting of the Lapworth Museum on the University of Birmingham campus. Those who were brave enough to take to the stage included the chair of the Geochemistry Group, Paul Savage playing the guitar and singing, and the Birmingham based band 10 Foot Dragonfly, who included James Bendle, Matt Allison, George Bendle, Richard Forrester, and Mark Andrew. The band did an amazing 30-minute set, including a medley paying tribute to Brum legends, Black Sabbath. We also held a geochemistry inspired art competition, with 10 amazing entries that were on display for the whole two-and-a-half-day conference. The winners of the competition were Kerys Meredew for their photo ‘Fuego at Dusk’ and Elaine Gao for their photo ‘Sunny days on the Assynt Fieldtrip’. With these events and over the entirety of the conference, we were fundraising for the the Midlands Arts Centres GREEN FUTURES campaign https://macbirmingham.co.uk/lovemac/everychild/green-futures<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmacbirmin…>, a great cause that resonated for many delegates of the conference. We raised a total of £245, of which we couldn’t be happier about!’ Sally Pennington (Director of Development, Midlands Arts Centre) has been in touch with plans for our donation: THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING DONATION On behalf of all of us at Midlands Arts Centre, I want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for your extremely generous £245 donation to MAC’s GREEN FUTURES campaign. We are very proud to be your supported charity. MAC’s GREEN FUTURES campaign raises money for events and workshops that are created and produced with, and for, young people and families in our community. We use art, creativity and curiosity to empower people to think about their impact on our planet, work together to make a change and to positively channel climate anxiety felt by many. Because of your donation, this summer, we will produce a brand new free workshop for 14 young girls from a care setting in Birmingham, who, through no fault of their own, have very few opportunities for creative activities and are at-risk at being completely excluded from art and culture. The workshop explores reusing, repairing and recycling Sari material, inspired by our major free exhibition showing in our main gallery, OFF-BEAT SARI. Thank you so much again for thinking of MAC – our donors, and your generous gifts, mean the world to us and it is really special when people come together in their own networks and spaces and champion MAC’s work. All the best George

Host our ECR Prominent Lecture winners!

by George Cooper

Dear Geochemists, I first want to thank everyone who attended GGRiP in Birmingham, by all accounts it was a fantastic meeting (more to follow on this)! At GGRiP this year, due to the particularly high quality of applications, we awarded two ECR Prominent Lecture awards, to Dr Rebekah Moore (Imperial College) and Dr Savannah Worne (Loughborough University). If you would like to host Rebekah and/or Savannah then please check out all the details on our website https://geochemistry.group/ecr-prominent-lecture-series/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgeochemis…> . Both have proposed two lectures for hosts to choose from, Rebekah will present on: 'Bridging the gap between isotope geochemistry and plant sciences’ and 'Cadmium and zinc isotope analyses of cacao and hyperaccumulator plant species’. Savannah will present on: 'Novel phosphate-oxygen stable isotope analysis of sediments to reconstruct the impact of sewage management on algal blooms' and 'Multi-stable isotope analysis of waters to investigate sources and biological cycling of nutrients’. In other news, we are imminently leaving X, so follow us on Bluesky and LinkedIn! * Please follow us on the (so far) much friendlier space of Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/geochemgroup.bsky.social<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbsky.app%…>. * The Geochemistry Group ‘group’ is also on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14560661/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linke…> * Also a plug for our parent body, the Mineralogical Society of the UK, follow them on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/80884962/admin/dashboard/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linke…> for lots of relevant updates. As ever, if you would like to share anything with the Geochemistry group mailing list then you can email me or the group.
