Dear colleagues, This summer a thematic session on “Teaching, History, and Future of Clay Mineralogy” is being convened at the 13th International Clay Conference (https://icc.aipea.org/sessions-list/) in Dublin, Ireland. We, the organizers of this session, ask that you respond to a very short 3-question survey. The purpose is to get a sense for how the clay science community being taught. This can help to promote clay mineralogy, which is a discipline that often transcends into many other fields of study. The survey results will be kept anonymous. Feel free to forward this request to others that may not be on this ListServe. We thank you in advance and plan to share the results at the thematic session in July 2025. Also consider this an invitation to participate in the conference by contributing an abstract to this session or the many others being offered.
