Dear MSA Community, I am so pleased to announce that there will be *17 new episodes of Every Rock Has A Story* posting weekly on my YouTube Channel <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl0Zrg9JFh5o4SPg94veh0w> this Fall, from Sept 1st through Christmas. As before, the episodes are especially designed for children ages 5-12 (grades K-5), but they are fun and appropriate for all ages. We will also be posting new educational resources prepared by Prof. Kate McNeill <https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/lynch-school/faculty-research/faculty-directory/katherine-mcneill.html> from Boston College's Lynch School of Education. A key element of these new episodes will be a diverse slate of *co-hosts*, including students, postdocs, professors, and kids! You might just see someone you recognize. We want all kids to see themselves as geoscientists! Here is a brand new trailer <https://youtu.be/KQfNQAVt-10> that just came out today... check it out and *please share it with any kids, parents, teachers,* or anyone who might be interested in these diverse stories about the earth, the environment, and even our solar system. https://youtu.be/KQfNQAVt-10 I am so happy to share our MSA community's love of rocks, minerals, and the stories they tell with our future scientists. I hope you enjoy the new episodes, and I hope you will share them too!
