From the MSA Communications Committee: Thin Section Thursday is a social media campaign featuring optical, backscatter electron, or TEM images of minerals, with a short caption explaining to the public what they are seeing. It has been going on for about 3 years and has proved to be popular, given the number of likes and upvotes on the MSA social media platforms. Andrea Koziol and her students provided many of the early images. Matt Kohn is another frequent contributor. I am running low on images for this campaign and would appreciate your contributions. Don’t have a camera for your microscope? Use your cell phone camera held up to the eyepiece, with a steady hand. (Ask your students how to do this!) Please send images and a short caption for each to akoziol1@udayton.edu. Thank you! #MineralMonday is a social media campaign that started in early 2025. Almost every Monday this year, A #MineralMonday post, with its signature purple background color, has appeared on our social media outlets. Whether your lab is doing interesting research, you have exciting stories from the field to share, you have just published a new paper, you work in a cool industry field, or you have any community outreach you would like to highlight, we would love for you to share with us. We are looking for submissions for our #MineralMonday campaign, and we need you. Submit a short write up of 200 – 300 words – it’s easy to do. Submit a photo (or 2, 3…) too! The committee will add appropriate #hashtags, and line it up for publishing on our social media outlets (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter (X), and Bluesky – now linked to Mastodon). If you wish, you may submit your post and images to our google form at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchicZymxWJmmBE5aaQHEHE3VV1N3oqzl2jqtVY1q4saoCdQA/viewform Or submit directly to Andrea Koziol at Akoziol1@udayton.edu. The most popular post will win its author a RiMG volume of their choice as a prize. PS. There is a limit of 3 images for Bluesky and X, as well as the character limit. The Committee thanks you in advance for your contributions.
