Procrastinating about preparing classes for the fall? Back from the field, but waiting on your thin sections? Consider contributing to Mineral Monday. Organized by the MSA Communications Committee, this on-going campaign features posts on minerals, petrology, careers paths in mineralogy, and more. Postings are on Mondays, every week. Thank you to those people who have already contributed! You can contribute too. You may feature your research, a favorite mineral, a student project, a recent publication, a career option in mineralogy, a summary of your career, etc. Submit a photo (or 2, 3…) too! The committee will lightly edit your post, add appropriate #hashtags, and line it up for publishing. If you wish, you may submit your posts (about 300 words long 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. Posts will appear on the MSA accounts on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, X, and Bluesky. In Fall 2025, we will look at which post has been the most popular and will reward its author with a free RIMG volume of their choice! In addition: Thin Section Thursday: Featured on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/minsocam/ and other social media accounts every Thursday. I am in charge of this too but I am low on images. Do you have some from your research, or a publication, that you can share? Back scatter electron images are OK too! Include a short caption. Send to akoziol1@udayton.edu.
