Hi I am a volcano petrologist, or I study volcanic rocks from active volcanoes to understand why they erupt the way they do. This has implications ranging from crustal-mantle processes, natural hazards, to ore deposits. I studied Indonesian and Chilean volcanoes. I am also interested in DEI.

The Faculty of Chemistry and #EarthSciences @uni-jena.de currently has two #geojob openings for #professorships: (1) General #Geophysics and (2) Geographical #RemoteSensing / #Earth #Observation. www.nature.com/naturecareer... @dgg-news.bsky.social @dvgeo.bsky.social @dggv-1848.bsky.social

photographic view featuring the tower of the building of the Institute of Geosciences in Jena towards west. The institute is located on a Pleistocene strath terrace of the Saale river, c. 50 m above the city centre (feturing some skyscrapers in the middle of the photo). The forested plateau in the background of the photo is formed by mesas exposing Middle Triassic strata ('Muschelkalk'). Jena is a thriving university town offering very high living standards and a cool place to be ;-)

A lot of things happened in the past couple of months since I started at UQ. Overall a massive improvement from early this year. Stay tuned for more news!

Meanwhile please enjoy the jacaranda trees on campus.

"I do know that when talking to people who perhaps think very differently, the only chance you have of getting them to think in a different way is to touch the heart." — Dr. Jane Goodall (1934-2025)

Thanks, Jane, for touching our hearts.

Exactly! Every path is different. As long as you yourself know your reasons and do it with purpose, it's not and should not be a source of shame.

Sri Budhi Utami @sbutami.bsky.social · Sep 25

Someone recently bragged to me about how they skipped the postdoc stage onto a faculty position. Good for you.

I choose to do postdocs to complete my skillset, expand my network, and gain experience conducting independent science. That should be enough, and I won't be made to feel bad about it.
