  1. Tom Gauld’s recent cartoon on abbreviations concisely summarises my life as an analytical chemist and data analyst. The number of #acronyms is staggering - anybody doing #PCA data reduction followed by #KNN clustering of #ICPMS data acquired following #MW digestion? #academicchatter #AnalyticalChemistry #machinelearning

  6. doesn't just keep time; it can record temperature too. The image is of a ~4mm zoned zircon crystal from the Bancroft-area of Ontario (Grenville-age granulite metamorphics). The trenches are 40 and 60 microns wide, created by laser-ablation analyses.

    ~3.5 parts per million titanium corresponds to crystallization temperatures of ~ 675°C (plus or minus a lot, unfortunately, in this case).

  7. is one of a few calcium-free titanium silicates (incl. benitoite). Seems like an obscure fact but:

    includes titanium in its structure, as a function of temperature; this can be a .

    To standardize a microbeam analysis (like laser ablation ICPMS), we need a mineral with a known composition, lots of titanium and silica and no calcium, which has an isotope at mass 48. Neptunite and benitoite are perfect for this.

    #Zircon includes titanium in its structure, as a function of temperature; this can be a #geothermometer.
