From the MSA Communications Committee: #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. People have shared some interesting stories and minerals (Thaumasite! Length-slow and -fast chalcedony! Nahcolite! Scapolite! Dolomite!). 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 (as measured by likes and upvotes) 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.
