I came to mastodon a few days ago with the #twittermigration and just migrated my account over today to qoto.org from my first server so here's a quick #introduction
High school #physics teacher, ex-geologist,

Time for an #introduction!
I’m Hugo, a structural geologist / metamorphic petrologist from the Netherlands. My interests lie in how rocks respond to a change in conditions and stresses: chemical reactions, deformation, dissolution, fluid processes and more.
Currently I’m a postdoc at the Njord Centre, University of Oslo, measuring residual stresses in lower crustal fault zones.
Follow me for the occasional #rock picture, #microscopy, or research update!
Congrats to @MattGertz who will hopefully never be mis-tagged for a certain congressman on this platform
Hello #tooters. Is there a #cyanobacteria #research community on Mastodon yet?
I'd love to connect! I'm a newly minted #PhD with an interest in cyanobacterial #bioproduction.
Currently looking for a #PostDoc in Europe
Mastodon habits I'm trying to lock in, rather than revert to my Twitter habits:
1) use CWs liberally
2) when threading, set first post to "public" and the rest to "not listed"
3) don't forget the description text when posting images (had to work on that in Twitter too)
4) throw in hashtags like it was Tumblr or Instagram when you want to reach beyond your followers
5) pin and visit hashtags to find more people
6) boost a lot
@lonepair you KNOW it's a high-pressure party when you stabilize perovskite
I had calculated that mastodon was a party but then i saw @keepitrheol was here SO NOW I KNOW IT'S A [rheological] PARTY
@pfpoitras
Lots of time, for sure. Finding meaning can be a challenge, but that's when you find what's really inside you. Or you crash-n-burn. Totally one of those.
I see #qoto people doing an #introduction so I should also do a hashtag barrage...
First Life: #geology, #metamorphic #petrology, #isotope #geochemist, #geochronology, #subduction.
Second life: Trophy Husband.
Third Life: #downstream #biomanufacturing, #quality control, cGMP, #protein stability, #analytical #chemistry
meanwhile: #grindcore #metal
I hope I did those hashtags right or I'm gonna look like an #idiot
