The July Accretionary Wedge is up

By khannula on July 16, 2009.

Volcanista is hosting the July Accretionary Wedge at her Magmalicious Blog. It's all about how people became interested in geology. There are some great stories - check it out!

The next Accretionary Wedge will be in August, hosted at Dino Jim's Musings, about unusual teaching methods, tools, or ideas.

We're looking for hosts for September and the fall. If you're interested, leave a comment on this post.

Women-in-geoscience and blogs presentation: the blog version

I've been reading both geoblogs and women-in-science blogs for a while, and watching the support networks grow around them. So when I looked through the Geological Society of America's list of session topics for the 2009 annual meeting and saw one about "Techniques and Tools for Effective…
