The day before we #rockthedrop, I wanted to give a shout-out to co-founder Janet Lee Carey for her new release, In the Time of Dragon Moon. Woohoo! I just zoomed it into my own Kindle. :)
Is it not gorgeous? What a special book for readergirlz, as Janet began this series with the publication of Dragon's Keep when we began our online community. Dragonswood soon followed. Here's what VOYA said about the trilogy conclusion:
"A story of courage and romance that readers will not soon forget. While Uma's struggle to help the queen and save her people is intriguing, the depth of her character reaches much further, exploring issues of race, gender, and identity....The text will be a sure favorite of fans of high fantasy."
The launch party was fabbity fantastical:
Katherine Grace Bond, Janet Lee Carey, and Justina Chen
Now, how about the summary:
An epic fantasy about dragons, dark secrets, Pendragons, and magic
On the southernmost tip of Wilde Island--far from the Dragonswood sanctuary and the Pendragon Castle--live the native Euit people. Uma, who is half Euit and half English, and not fully accepted by her tribe, wants to become a healer like her Euit father. But the mad English queen in the north, desperate for another child, kidnaps Uma and her father and demands that he cure her barrenness. After her father dies, Uma must ensure that the queen is with child by the time of the Dragon Moon, or be burned at the stake.
Terrified and alone, Uma reaches out to her only possible ally: the king's nephew Jackrun, a fiery dragonrider with dragon, fairy, and human blood. Together, they must navigate through a sea of untold secrets, unveil a dark plot spawned long ago in Dragonswood, and find a way to accept all the elements--Euit, English, dragon, and fairy--that make them who they are.
Grab this new work, rgz. And then drop a review online, everywhere. Your words matter! Read, reflect, and reach out!

Our longtime readergirlz friend, Dawn Rutherford is here with us today. She's the terrific Teen Services Coordinator for Sno-Isle Libraries. Welcome Dawn
We are an awesome library system just a bit North of Seattle with 22 locations spread over two counties. I've been working here for seven years, and before that I worked at King County and also Chicago Public. My job is to oversee all things teen at a system-wide level. This includes our great teen website, events like Teen Read and Teen Tech Months, trainings for staff, spearheading proposals for shared programming kits and equipment, and generally supporting my Teen Contacts at each location to do the best they can for serving teens. This year has been an exciting one. We are currently working on a GenYZ project with the consultant OrangeBoy Inc. to craft better strategies and services for 13-29 year olds. And we just finalized our brand new Teen Service Purpose Statement which will not only focus and strengthen our services to teens (which we define as 12-18), but expands it to better serve tweens (9-12) and young adults (19-20).
Outside of the wonderful work I get to do for Sno-Isle, I'm also active in YALSA, and have worn many hats for them.

My favorites were co-planning an amazing Get Graphic @ Your Library graphic novel pre-conference (where I got to meet and introduce Neil Gaiman), chairing the first Great Graphic Novel for Teens committee, serving on the Margaret A. Edwards award committee that honored Francescia Lia Block, and now I'm chairing this year's Odyssey Award committee.
The Skinny: What do you love most about your work?
My stock answer used to be "working with the teens", but the sad fact is that I've reached a point in my career where to best utilize my experience and abilities to serve teens, I don't actually get to interact with them all that often. I'm hoping to change this over the next year by implementing a brand new system of teen councils at our libraries, with representatives that will serve on a virtual council that works directly with me. But even if I don't get the face time with them much anymore, I love that I get to constantly work creatively to connect teens with libraries and all they have to offer…especially books. I served on Spokane Public Library's Young Adult Advisory Committee (YAAC) back in the 80s under the late great Christy Tyson, and I still cherish the connections I was able to make with library staff and other book loving teens. Thank goodness for Facebook…not only do I still connect with some librarians and other YAAC members through that, but I'm now friends with former teens who were dear to me at previous jobs. More than anything I love the connections I make with individuals: be it teens, library staff, authors, fellow YALSA members…and if we can share a good book, all the better!
A Mighty Librarian Roar!
Human civilization exists largely in information our species has created and shares together to make stories of how the world should be. Storing this information externally (outside our brains) gives us tremendous room for growth and possibility, but it also sets up potential for loss and disconnection if that information is not accessible. Libraries have grown beyond a physical place where information is stored, into a gateway to the world. Library staff don't just help you find the right book, but help set you on the journey to the place you want to be, and the person you are aspiring to become. And all of this happens because communities believe individual should have this sort of access and assistance, which to me is a very hopeful and beautiful thing.
Library Laughs
I was very fortunate early in my days at Sno-Isle to have made a connection Shannon Hale before she hit it big, and was asked by her publisher if I could host her and Libba Bray on their joint tour.

I worked extra hard to plan a fun even that would be enjoyable for both the authors and the audience, because I love both of these author's work and wanted to share my excitement with everyone. When they showed up, it turned out all three of us were wearing practically the same outfit…black cardigans, dresses, and black boots. We had so much fun…I still feel lucky to have gotten to know them before they both got huge :D
Pride of Programs
Hmmm. Two of my favorite programs I've done are probably Book Buddies and last summer's pilot of the Sno-Isle Super Summer Scavenganza.
Book Buddies is a program where teens mentor struggling readers in 2nd-4thgrade over the summer. It is a wonderful intergenerational program and not only helps kids enjoy reading more and get comfortable doing it, but it is really great for the teens, too! The Scavengana is a two month long online scavenger hunt where teams of teens were given missions each day of the summer, and competed against each other by making videos, writing book reviews, and other creative endeavors.
I really hope to do it again next year, but with some simplifications and tweaks to make it easier to run and participate in! It was one of the most satisfying projects I've worked on in a long time. We left everything up on the website, and here are some photo highlights of the teams entries.
Teen Library Scene
To me the best indicators of passion for our libraries are some of the entries for contests our teens have made for us. My personal favorite is Emily B.'s submission from our 2012 art contest (http://www.sno-isle.org/teens/art-contest-winners/), a Harry Potter themed synchronized swim that two sisters made for our Scavenganza last summer, and this infomercialby another Scavenganza team, Dragon Army. That our fans are willing to create such wonderful things for our library community is super exciting to me.
Art Contest Winner Emily B.
Andrew K. - Mill Creek: "One thing I really like about the Sno-Isle teen section, on the website at least, is that it feels like you can contribute to it, i.e. the reviews, which you seem to be the main moderator for! I also enjoy that there are lists by subject matter added and edited once in awhile, and when I was first especially looking for new books before I started using GoodReads, those lists were extremely helpful! I still check back on them once in awhile if some are updated."
Sophie K. - Arlington: "The founders of our nation believed in self-education-the idea that every single individual ought to learn by reading books and studying the thoughts and ideas of those who have come before them. Can you imagine our nation without libraries where you can accomplish this goal? I know of no better place than a library to explore ideas, rethink your philosophies, entertain different thoughts, and change your mind. Just one person can change the world-and just one library can change a person."
Author! Author!
For me, the perfect author visit is one where the readers are super jazzed and have all read the book and have tons of questions for the author. And then the author responds to teens with total respect, humor, and grace. Some of my favorites have included the one I mentioned with Shannon Hale and Libba Bray at the Mountlake Terrace library, when we had Scott Westerfeld at the Edmonds library, a Skype interview Adam Rex did with the teens of the Mukilteo Library, and great guest visits at two different Teen-Adult Book groups I've co-run with school libraries: Ben Michaelson at Tillicum Middle School, and Kendare Blake at Brier-Terrace Middle school.

Have you checked out the indiegogo for #WeNeedDiverseBooks? Matt de la Pena is such a great spokesman.
Diverse Campaign w Thanks Card from Undercurrent on Vimeo.
Here's what diva Melissa Walker recommends to encourage progress:
1. Request diverse books at your local library and bookstore. Make sure your booksellers and librarians know that you want to read about people from various backgrounds.
2. Join the Twitter activism with#WeNeedDiverseBooks -- the conversation is buzzing daily (onTumblr too).
3. Support the indiegogo campaign (video above, starring favorite authors like John Green, Matt de la Peña and Jacqueline Woodson) to help keep the movement growing.
One Founder of the movement, author Ellen Oh, explained to NPR, "We need the representation, but we also need white kids to read about us, to recognize us, and not push us off into the other...not to think of us as exotic or being so very different." Follow the hashtagand the tumblr to hear some powerful stories.
Even donating to the cause, less than a latte, can help the campaign. Think about it, rgz. As Matt says, "Books are mirrors and windows."

Thank you, Chronicle Books and Beth Kephart, for preparing to release another of Beth's beautiful novels into the world!
The book itself is a nest of treasure with rich imagery, lyrical language, metaphor, and winged flights through the city of Florence. Nadia is trapped in theft, a loss of words, and a loss of reality while she repeatedly loses consciousness during her family's relocation in Italy. And there is a boy, a boy whose hair glows, who leads her through the streets of Santa Croce, and there is a best girlfriend, who will give all to find him again for Nadia, never losing hope for her.
Keep this one in mind, readergirlz. You'll have a wait for its release. But isn't Beth always worth it?

KL – Thanks, Janet! It's an honor to visit with you. And I am so delighted about the NAPPA award, as well as the two starred reviews, for my new book.
JLC - Tell us what inspired you to write Dash.
JLC – Would you tell us a bit about your research, and give us a peek into your writing process?
As for my writing process, it is a huge mess! I just jump in and start writing – no outline. No plan. What I do first, however, is get to know my character as thoroughly as possible. My work is very character driven.
KL- I am thrilled this conversation is taking place. Children need to see themselves – deserve to see themselves! -- in literature of all kinds. I do have a worry, however, that "diversity" could come to mean only ethnicity. It would be a shame to set such limits.
I've said this elsewhere: as a kid who grew up wearing hand me downs and sometimes finding the kitchen cupboards completely bare, I would have died and gone to heaven had I found books like Barbara O'Connor's How to Steal a Dog or Janet Lee Carey's The Double Life of Zoe Flynn, in which the main character is homeless. I hope and pray this #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign leads to an even richer and broader range of the kinds of kid characters and stories we'll see in children's and young adult literature.
JLC— What would you like readers to take away from this book?
KL – I want readers to take away their own meaning from all of my books. But if Dash made readers stop and think about what it means to be a decent human being, I wouldn't mind that one bit.

Just caught this early shout out from iheartdaily:
Just two years ago, the United Nations declared October 11th to be International Day of the Girl. The UN has said, "Girls face discrimination and violence every day across the world. The International Day of the Girl Child focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls' empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights."
This year's theme is "Empowering Adolescent Girls: Ending the Cycle of Violence."
Amen to that! Bravo, to the United Nations for this intentional focus. With their estimate of 200 million girls missing around the world due to gendercide, dowry infractions, and forced abortions of girls we need to stop and think and act.
Since the publication of FIRSTBORN, inspired by my outrage over gendercide, I've been trumpeting the work of All Girls Allowed. The nonprofit funds young women, pregnant with females, so they can carry their babies full term and keep them. They work to stop the intentional annihilation of girls. And then there's the Global Gendercide Advocacy and Awareness Project who takes internships, rgz! Or there's the movie which is absolutely chilling. Take a look at the trailer for IT'S A GIRL and then watch the full movie on NETFLIX.
I created a collection of posters on Polyvore to draw attention to gendercide. You can see the full group of 30 by clicking here. Share them and raise awareness.
Celebrate INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL! Read, reflect, and reach out, rgz!

JLC -- HIT is a riveting read! Tell us what inspired you to write it.
LG -- Well, it was originally six voices!
JLC -- Wow, six?
JLC -- Who were they?
LG -- Sarah, Haddings, Cydni, Luke, Janet, and Mark. Different editors along the publishing journey suggested reducing it to four, then finally two. Without introducing some sort of fantastic element, like Sarah wandering the hospital in spirit form, I needed at least two voices to tell the story as she is so long in surgery.
JLC – You write so deeply and truly about family and family relationships in HIT. Can you give us a peek into your process for this?
JLC -- I love this idea!

To join two houses, Blink Young Adult Books and Little Brown Books for Young Readers, would be novel. Yet, with a love of literacy, two books releasing so close together, the support of two houses, and being besties ourselves, it was an easy decision to hit the road side-by-side.
How about the hashtag #hitwithgratitude? Where did that come from? Justina and I a few years before had taken a test, springing from Shawn Achor's book THE HAPPINESS ADVANTAGE. We discovered out of more than 20 personal strengths, we both ranked Gratitude in our top five abilities. It was interesting, and we filed it away. We also ran across Ann Voskamp's book, ONE THOUSAND GIFTS: A DARE TO LIVE FULLY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, and we discussed the beauty of numbering our blessings. Personally, I was being hit with wave after wave of chronic illness diagnoses from lupus to rheumatoid arthritis and cancer, while Justina was being hit by an unexpected divorce, being abandoned in China, and finding her long way home.
In 2014, as Justina read HIT and I read A BLIND SPOT FOR BOYS, we were struck by how both novels carried the theme of enduring trial with a thankful heart. A theme we've shared with readergirlz across the country since our beginning in 2007. We chatted about choosing to be BETTER NOT BITTER and choosing PRAISE NOT PITY. There was room to be thankful in the midst of trial: not because of it (that would be irrational), not in spite of it (that would be grim determination), but thanks in the midst of it, knowing there is a greater purpose and lessons to be learned.
With #hitwithgratitude, we set out initially on tour with our books to encourage readers of all ages to hit back with gratitude even when hit by heartache, loss, and physical testing. As time passes, we'll likely travel together around the globe more, carrying the same injunction. Along the way, we'll meet with readergirlz, media, librarians, teachers, students, and book clubs of all ages. We'll exchange stories, listening wholeheartedly, and encourage everyone to share a pic, a text, a video, or a post with the hashtag: #hitwithgratitude. Sharing, our personal gratitude we can hit, encourage one another, with our thanks...over and over...and over.
Join us, rgz. Let's run and #hitwithgratitude!

Adult/Teen Librarian Danielle Dreger-Babbitt from Mill Creek Library WA is here to Roar with readergirlz for Banned Books Week
Welcome Danielle.
Tell us about Banned Books Week
Banned Book Week was started 32 years ago to celebrate the freedom to read after more and more books were being challenged in libraries and schools. According to the American Librarian Association, over 11,000 books have been challenged since 1982. Over 200 of them happened in 2013! You can learn more about Banned Book Week on the ALA website.
I do a banned book display each year. My favorite displays are the ones I did in 2011 when library patrons wrote about their favorite banned books and the 2012 display that took up a whole shelving unit. I love being able to showcase these banned and challenged books.
Some of my favorite banned and challenged books include Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Shine and TTYL by Lauren Myracle, and 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. And my absolute favorite banned/ challenged book is Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Most teens are amazed to hear that it has been taken out of some schools and libraries!
Check out the activities on the BannedBooksSite . Readergirlz can celebrate their freedom to read by reading one or two banned or challenged books during Banned Book Week. Bonus points for reading these all year long, not just in September and for sharing these titles with their friends and family.
The best way to support libraries is to use them! Check out books and DVDs and CDs, use the databases to find information, and attend as many library programs and events as your schedule allows. By doing these, you are showing us that you think libraries are important. There are many ways to give back to your library. Consider becoming a volunteer or join the library board or Friend's Group. Teens can join the library's Teen Advisory Board and help make decisions about future library programs and purchases. You can also donate books to the library for the Friends of Library Book Sale. The money from these sales supports library programs and special events!
I've been a teen librarian for over 10 years and have worked in libraries in Massachusetts and Washington. I've been an Adult/ Teen Librarian at the Mill Creek Library for over 5 ½ years. I've been active in ALA's YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) for the last decade and have served on committees including Outreach to Teens With Special Needs, The Schneider Family Book Award, and most recently The Alex Awards, for which I was the 2014 committee chair.
In my spare time I write for children and teens. I love to read YA and MG fiction and cooking memoirs/ cookbooks. I own two cats and two badly behaved (but adorable) dogs. I also love to travel and recently visited Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina.

Don't miss these even if they are catalogued in middle grade. A good story is a good story, right? When I picked up both of these works, from the first pages there was that feeling of instantly knowing these are brilliant books. These are the ones to savor and then share. Go. Find. Them.
"At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And wild. And it wants something from Conor. Something terrible and dangerous. It wants the truth. From the final idea of award-winning author Siobhan Dowd-- whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself-- Patrick Ness has spun a haunting and darkly funny novel of mischief, loss, and monsters both real and imagined."
A Monster Calls
by Patrick Ness
Candlewick Press, 2013
"Kevin has a bad attitude. He's the one who laughs when you trip and fall. In fact, he may have been the one who tripped you in the first place. He has a real knack for rubbing people the wrong way—and he's even figured out a secret way to do it with poems. But what happens when the tables are turned and he is the one getting picked on? Rhyme Schemer is a touching and hilarious middle-grade novel in verse about one seventh grader's journey from bully-er to bully-ee, as he learns about friendship, family, and the influence that words can have on people's lives."

JLC - Welcome Laurie! It's good to have you're here. Tell us what inspired you to write this book.
JLC - What can readergirlz learn from these committed teens?
LAT - I hope they can start to see themselves in the various profiles included in Be a Changemaker. I interviewed young people from age 9 through young adults, from across the United States and around the world, and from a variety of racial and economic backgrounds. If they can do it, readergirlz can, too!
JLC – I agree! Anything else you'd like to add about the book?
LAT - In addition to the inspirational profiles of young people who have already created change, Be a Changemaker is loaded with practical advice, templates, examples, anecdotes, and resources to help readergirlz jump right in and start making their change.
JLC – Can you share some excerpts?
"How many times have you complained about something but done nothing to fix it? Or noticed something and thought, Someone should do something about that? We all have those thoughts sometimes. And it's okay, because none of us can solve every problem we encounter. But guess what . . . you're someone. And when you set your mind to it, you absolutely can do something that matters." (Chapter 1)
"'Even though I can't [completely] stop poverty, war, or rainforest destruction,' Change the World Kids co-founder Phebe Myers says, 'I'm a changemaker.' As their motto goes, 'No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.'" (Chapter 15)

Just finished Remnants: Season of Wonder by Lisa Bergren and wanted to give rgz a heads up to watch for it. Talk about a fierce female protagonist. Andriana, a gifted Remnant, teamed with her Knight, Ronan, join the elite teen group of Ailith who are charged to heal the world. Set in the future, following the The Great War, the small band goes questing for their rightful leader.
Even as an empath, Andriana doesn't hold back from fighting her own battles. The conflicts are physical, intense, and realistic. The reader has to wonder if Bergren is a kick boxer herself.
Quick quotes that held great meaning to me:
"The road became more a series of unified elements, a path that led us forward rather than a barrage of threatening blocks."
"Every time I give in to concern about tomorrow, even my next hour, I rob this hour, this day of strength, peace."
One note: Andriana visits a society practicing gendercide. Bergren gives the fullest ramifications of the practice. What a complimentary work to my own Firstborn. Want to know more and reach out? Check out It's a Girl movie on Netflix, Instant View.

Hey rgz!
I recently toured with Jonathan Friesen and wanted to introduce you to his writing if you haven't found it yet. His body of work is impressive with Jerk California a recipient of the Schneider Award. I just started it!
Here he is talking about his mysterious, dystopian novel, Aquifer, released from Blink.
Mayday recently released, featuring a female protagonist. Isn't the cover totally evocative?
So there you go, rgz. Check out Jonathan's work. You won't be disappointed! Oh, and if you are going to ALA Annual, we'll be signing at the Blink Booth. We'd love to see you so stop by!

"I felt very very lucky to be part of the early cover design discussion. We shared some of our favorite covers for books out now, as well as some movie posters and went back and forth. My main input was that I wanted the cover to feel contemporary and fresh, to capture the fun and exciting pace of the story, and to appeal to boys and girls equally. No small feat!
"I got to see four rounds of comps, and it was fascinating to watch the ideas and inspirations evolve. I made some comments and suggestions along the way, but I also acknowledged that even though I have lots of opinions, I'm in the word business and not the image business, so I fully trusted the experts involved to come up with a great solution.
"I saw many 'original' images with different initial concepts. While they all shared a certain minimalist sensibility, some emphasized coins rather than human figures, others a 'plan notebook,' and still others had a tiled floor that represented the Mint at night. It's truly amazing how a seemingly simple design can communicate the plot, the mood, the characters and even the imagined reader of a book.
"When I first saw the final cover, I loved it right away. I'm a sucker for vintage graphics, and I thought the white font, bold green and stark silhouettes really evoked classic mystery/heist book covers while the background suggests the more tech-y, modern element of this particular plan. At the same time the details on the figures are emblematic of the characters in a way that won't limit the reader's imagination. My biggest takeaway: I'm in awe of designers! The silhouettes are an original illustration by Tahnee Gehm.
"I've already gotten a ton of positive feedback (from, it should be noted, both guys and girls). So yeah, I'd say it hit the mark."
Thanks, Elisa! Watch the trailer here!

Just back from the ALA Annual Conference where I went on the hunt for co-founder Justina Chen's new ARC. They were completely gone from the Little Brown booth the same day they were displayed. So watch for this one. I happen to know it's quite the hot adventure full of truths that will leave you thinking and inspired!
Here's the description:
Shana has always had a blind spot for boys. Can she trust the one who's right in front of her?
Sixteen-year-old Shana Wilde is officially on a Boy Moratorium. After a devastating breakup, she decides it's time to end the plague of Mr. Wrong, Wrong, and More Wrong.
Enter Quattro, the undeniably cute lacrosse player who slams into Shana one morning in Seattle. Sparks don't just fly; they ignite. And so does Shana's interest. Right as she's about to rethink her ban on boys, she receives crushing news: Her dad is going blind. Quattro is quickly forgotten, and Shana and her parents vow to make the most of the time her father has left to see. So they travel to Machu Picchu, and as they begin their trek, they run into none other than Quattro himself. But even as the trip unites them, Quattro pulls away mysteriously... Love and loss, humor and heartbreak collide in this new novel from acclaimed author Justina Chen.

When a Gregory Maguire book releases, how can you not stop everything and read it? You must for Egg & Spoon. Think of a female, The Prince and the Pauper, intertwined with a fiercely endearing Baba Yaga, searching to save a Firebird and mother Russia, while controlling an ice dragon for the world's survival. By the author of Wicked. Enough said, right?
Here is an epic story for middle-grade, young adults, and adults, and it will be beloved. For the first time, I fell in love with a house with chicken legs.
Within the 475 pages, you'll find language as rich as Saint Petersburg. It is the only point which will give you pause as you relish Maguire's word choice and imagery. Truth beats at the heart of the fairy tale, dabbled with modern references due to Baba Yaga's timelessness. I leave you with Baba speaking to her resident cat.
Baba Yaga snorted. "I look like a woman of a certain age."
"You are," said Mewster.
"Oh, no," said the witch. "I am a woman of every age."

Dear Earth Science redditors, what is your profession, and how many days do you spend in the field each year? (self.EarthScience)
submitted 1 year ago * by PoGuDu
All I want to do when I graduate college is be a glaciologist. However, sitting behind a desk punching numbers every day is not necessarily my thing.
I can take it for a while, but I'm more interested in being outdoors.
[–]Mamadog5 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (3 children)
I work on oil rigs. I was a mud logger, MWD, and will soon start working as a mud engineer. I work 2 weeks on, then get 2 off. When I work, I live on the rig, which some may consider being in the field....but I really mostly sit in a trailer, watch movies and work about 5 minutes every hour or so.
Not quite what I imagined doing, but the money is nice and the time off is nicer.
[–]brews 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You need business cards that say "Mud Engineer".
[–]jlval 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Woo. I'm logging at the moment, aiming to head up to Mud Doc some time this year, if I'm lucky. UK North Sea, all good fun.
[–]Mamadog5 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I am in Wyoming in the US. Never been offshore. Sounds colder than here and it's pretty darn cold here!
[–]capecodnative 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I'm an oceanographer, studying primarily open ocean/deep ocean phenomena. I finished my PhD last year, and for three of the five years I was a student I spent on average 1-3 months a year at sea/in the field.
A few of my grad school friends are glaciologists, and they also spend a few months a year in the field. Not every year; sometimes more, sometimes less or not at all. It depends on a variety of things, including labs and funding and timing of projects. Any graduate experience in an earth science field is going to be very lab-specific/research-specific as far as how much time you'll spend outdoors. When you apply to programs, you should look closely at the professors/scientists at the institution, and think specifically about whom you want to work with to find the right fit for you. The more specific you can be about ideas, interests, labs and programs, the more likely you'll write a good application and find someone excited to have you on board.
"Punching numbers", or the lab-based side of doing science, can actually be surprisingly rewarding! This is especially true after a field season spent collecting a bunch of data or samples that only you, with your newfound expertise and advising, can turn into something meaningful!
[–]PoGuDu[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Do you recommend working for a PhD? Or do you think I would be able to find the same job with fair pay as a major?
[–]capecodnative 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Totally depends on what you want to do in the long term. I started as a lab technician (rather than a masters student--the other major route to doing field work on the quick) and decided to start a PhD when I realized the study and the field suited me. Lots of people do masters, then stay working as lab technicians and managers for their whole careers and LOVE it. I wanted to be more in control of idea generation and collaborations so I decided to go full PhD route.
Check job postings and ask around! Cold emailing people who have interesting labs isn't faux pas, and you can also ask about open positions that way and other opportunities by word of mouth by asking friends in related fields.
[–]grainia99 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Soil physics. I work for Health Canada and spend almost all of my time at a desk. We do get to go out to see the odd stuff in the field, but it is very rare.
[–]brews 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago* (0 children)
I mostly do drought stuff with rivers and snowpack. I got into this job because I like the half year field work and then sitting in doing cool computer/math stuff in the other half year.
Seems like if you get PhD you're going to be doing more committee/paperwork unless you make a committed effort not to. Masters level are generally hired for field work. They however, are not the boss and not the source of funding. Nobody will fund glacial field work unless someone proposes and then finds funding for that field work. So, yeah. I'd argue it depends on your own emphasis and efforts.
Who you work with is a big deal. Don't muck that bit up either.
[–]eta_carinae_311 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I work in environmental remediation. The junior staff are outside doing most of the field work, as you become more senior (and more expensive) you spend less and less time doing the field work, and more of the analysis. Which is inside.
I'm about 5 years into my career. I wanted to go into project management so I've probably ended my field work days earlier than you'd have to, I'd say I spend about 90% of my time indoors.
[–]hydroguile 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
How would you rate your career satisfaction? Also, do you have to travel a lot? I'm going into an MS in hydro and have a lurking fear that career-wise I will be an indoor cat with intermittent field duties in Nowheresville, USA.
[–]eta_carinae_311 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago* (0 children)
I think it really depends on what area of hydro you end up in. I work for a pipeline company, so most of my sites are in relatively boring places (middle of nowhere where people don't mind pipes in the ground, for example). If you get into mining you could find yourself in some neat places, and if you do watersheds or something for a regulatory agency you could probably find some very fun locales.
Whatever you end up doing though, I think the longer you do it the more you find yourself inside, if you want to move up the ladder. Plenty of people remain field techs their entire careers and love it. The more you get into management the more time you will spend inside.
As for me, there are times I wish I was outside more, and then we have days like today where it's not going to get above freezing outside and I don't mind at all. Most of my travel is for meetings with regulators or my consultants, and the occasional EHS site visit. When I was doing more field work I traveled about 30-40% of the time. Some people spend almost all of their time on the road. The more established you get though people usually don't want to be away from home that long so it's usually the younger people/ those without families that do most of the traveling.
Edited to add: I should also mention that although the physical locations of my sites these days are, for the most part, kind of lame, the technical challenges associated with them are enough that I still enjoy my job and find the work itself rewarding. Though I suppose not having to go out to them all the time probably helps a bit, haha

Suspended Wayne Rooney Is England's Best Cheerleader
Description:Despite his suspension, Wayne Rooney is still choosing to spend time with his squad to help boost morale as they compete. The striker said recently, "It's not nice sitting in a hotel for hours on end. Different activities help us chill out and relax more and that benefits the players. To be honest all my tournaments, apart from Euro 2004 maybe, have ended in disappointment for England, and me personally as well. So it's something I want to put right." (0:47)

Alton State Representative Dan Beiser has been reappointed to serve on the Interagency Military Base Support Economic Development Committee by the leaders of the Illinois House. The committee was established in 2005 and is charged with the task of finding ways to re-utilize military bases so they can provide greater benefit to the military and remain open. There are three bases in Illinois, including Scott Air Force Base in St. Clair County.
Beiser says that Scott AFB is important for the military and for the local community.
Beiser Comments
Beiser also says it will be important that the government does everything it can to protect Illinois' military bases and that the state has a unified voice to defend them and their surrounding communities.

Unemployment Insurance Extension
More than one million Americans lost their unemployment benefits in December, but many Republicans oppose extending the multi-billion-dollar safety net. Can Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid shame lawmakers from states with high unemployment into supporting the measure by making them vote no and then have to explain why back home?

How an integrated asset management system benefits the global enterprise
Download NowOverview:
Every corner of your enterprise depends on the assets that keep it running, from the back offices to the storeroom to the shop floor and in the field. Thus, there is a widespread and pervasive need for timely asset information. Some areas require small rivulets of essential knowledge, while others are swimming in virtual oceans of data.
When asset management systems are paper-based or electronic but separate from other enterprise information systems, knowledge suffers. When interface programs connect asset management and enterprise business systems, risks and costs are incurred. The best way to assure seamless, real-time integration and global access to information is to implement a single-solution, pre-integrated ERP/EAM platform. The EAM solutions that ERP vendors offer have matured over the years and become increasingly functionally rich and competitive with best-of-breed EAM solutions. The most sophisticated have hundreds of integration points between the ERP and EAM built in.

ROBERT SIEGEL, Host:
The new movie "Dreamgirls," based on the 1981 Broadway musical got five Golden Globe nominations yesterday. In most of the country, it opens Christmas day. But to burnish the film's luster for awards season, it opens in exclusive road- show engagements today in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Road-show means reserved seating and souvenir programs, just like live theater, also, a higher ticket price.
Bob Mondello says the hype is a bit much but the movie is a crowd pleaser.
BOB MONDELLO: The one thing that everyone said about "Dreamgirls" on stage was that it felt cinematic. So here it is in the cinema, and you know what, it's pretty cinematic.
MONDELLO: The danger, of course, was that it's a backstage story about The Dreams, a '60s girl group, a lot like Diana Ross and the Supremes. What had been cinematic on stage would turn stagy on screen. The Broadway version used whirling turntables and curtains-going-every-which-way to give you the feel of swooping cameras.
In the movie, director Bill Condon uses curtains and turntables too but he actually has swooping cameras. So when, for instance, pretty Deena, silly Lorrell and full-figured Effie get hired to sing backup for a James-Brown style rhythm-and-blues singer, Eddie Murphy, who plays the singer, can sit down at a piano backstage, full of charm.
EDDIE MURPHY: (As James 'Thunder' Early) (Singing) The game of hits goes around and around. But you can...
MONDELLO: And when the tempo picks up, the camera can start moving.
MURPHY: (As James 'Thunder' Early) (Singing) Cut that part right there baby.
BEYONCE KNOWLES: (As Deena Jones) (Singing) Running around -
MURPHY: (As James 'Thunder' Early) (Singing) Let's go way to the top
JENNIFER HUDSON: (As Effie Melody White) (Singing) Running around.
MONDELLO: And, some curtains fly sideways, and the camera swivels hard, and they're all in costume before a cheering crowd.
MONDELLO: The energy is so high in sequences like this - and there are lots of them - that it almost doesn't matter that we've seen this story before, in "Ray" and other film biographies about the heartbreak of musical stardom. Of course, biographies are tied to real people and specific heartbreak, whereas "Dreamgirls" is free to invent things. And what it's invented - besides a Motown milieu just far enough removed from reality to avoid lawsuits - is a showbiz icon, the talent that gets stepped on, on everyone else's way to the top.
Jennifer Hudson plays Effie, a big-boned, enormous-voiced Dreamgirl who gets replaced both onstage and in the bed of her lover, by prettier, slimmer, Deena, played by Beyonce Knowles. Deena is graceful, and can sing, but she and everyone else are blown off the screen when Effie cuts loose in the anthem that has always been this show's highlight.
HUDSON: (As Effie Melody White) (Singing) I'm not gonna leave you. There's no way, I swear. And I am telling you I'm not going. You're the -
MONDELLO: Now, lyrics not withstanding, Effie is going. In the second half, she becomes secondary for long enough that you have time to realize how conventional the "Dreamgirls" story is. The director's transitions and swooping camera work are still amazing, as are the hairdos, fashion and decor. And if the music isn't quite '60s Motown, it certainly pumps up energy levels.
But Jennifer Hudson is why you're there, and at the preview I attended, when she said she wasn't going, a movie audience that had watched her get booted from "American Idol" in real life and now from a fake singing group, started cheering as if she were right there in the theater to hear them. This Dreamgirl, it seems clear, is going to go wherever and whenever she wants.
I'm Bob Mondello.

This bulletin tells you how to keep your trees, shrubs and vines attractive and healthy through careful pruning. Do you have a neglected fruit tree that needs reviving? A butterfly bush that has become leggy? If yes, then this is the book for you.
Softcover. 32 pages. Storey Publishing, LLC 1980.
I know that these booklets are only supposed to be broad, not deep, in the information they give, and I thought the general pruning information was good and helpful. I was disappointed that there was no specific information about citrus trees, but I did learn a lot about general pruning.
