Jabrane Labidi - News and Views by Rita Parai

The news and views article written by colleague and carnegie alumni Rita Parai is amazing. I will seriously use some of the vocabulary she uses in her document to explain the notion of clumped isotopes to a general audience

Paper alert – Molybdenum isotopes in basalts, and potential constraints on the redox state of subducted slabs

Image
It's fresh off the press, Qasid Ahmad and co-authors (including yours truly) just published  a short paper at GPL ( here ) providing some constraints on the redox state of subducted slabs, using molybdenum isotopes. And yes, articles in Geochemical Perspective Letters are fully open-access, thanks to the EAG support.  Qasid's paper is titled "Molybdenum isotopes in plume-influenced MORBs reveal recycling of ancient anoxic sediments" Using this new work to re-activate this page, but note that i 've posted a short thread on twitter, check it out below. How do molybdenum isotope constrain the redox state of subducted slabs? Qasid Ahmad just published a short paper providing some constraints. Fully open access thanks to @EAG_ . Quick thread https://t.co/QEQc4HfhjN — Jabrane Labidi (@JabraneLabidi) October 20, 2022 The studied objects here are basalts dredged up on the South-Atlantic mid-ocean ridge. These basalts record well-known interactions between the sub-oceani...

Jabrane Labidi - DEI effort at the EAG

Image
I enthusiastically joined the Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion sub-group at the European Association of Geochemistry. Our goal will be to  "promote DEI initiatives that cultivate welcoming, kind, inspiring, and actively anti-discriminatory scientific cultures as well as safe, healthy, and supportive working environments. As such, the EAG DEI initiative shall serve as a model for STEM in optimizing participation of historically excluded and underrepresented peoples across all sectors, levels of employ, and positions of community leadership." This is an initiative to tackle racism and other biases in our academic circles. We hope to not only raise awareness on how gated geochemistry appears to be for underrepresented folks, but also to produce content describing key aspects of our problem at hand. We intend on discussing the intricate aspects of social reproduction within academia on a worldwide scale, but also with a special target on European instit...
