In this episode we have a bit of a freaky Friday thing going. Gneiss Chats producer and occasional co-host Dr Silvia Volante is the host of the game Newly Grad (formerly known as Twinning). She interviews Dr B and his co-author, producer of the Gneiss Chats podcast and also BEST FRIEND…or just FRIEND? No, BEST FRIEND: Dr Bryant Ware. During the game we learn how much these two BFFs really know about each other’s careers. Bryant is a Research Fellow at the John de Laeter Centre (JdLC) at Curtin University in Western Australia and he is an expert in Iso🔝es. After breaking down the basics of what an isotope is, Bryant gives a little bit more detail of what radiogenic isotopes are and how these are used to constrain the timing of geological processes.

Host Information:
Dr. Vitor Barrote: A member of the Traveling Geologist team and the host for Gneiss Chats on the Geology Podcast Network. Vitor, also known as Dr. B, has a PhD in applied geology from Curtin University. His current research focus is on analytical developments in geochemistry and geochronology, but he has a soft spot for Economic Geology, also. He enjoys multidisciplinary studies that apply unorthodox and innovative solutions to resolve unusual problems. He is a big fan of spreading education through inclusive media, with science outreach efforts such as this podcast series. He also holds an (honorary) PhD in geological dad-jokes.
Dr Silvia Volante: A member of Traveling Geologist team, producer and occasional co-host for Gneiss Chats on the Geology Podcast Network. Silvia also has a PhD in applied geology from Curtin University. She loves to explore the different pressures, temperatures and compositions conditions at which igneous and metamorphic rocks formed. Her favorite word? Unravelling! Unravelling the evolution of basement rocks by mapping them in the field, as a good old-fashioned field geologist would do, and investigating the record incapsulated in minerals that define ductile fabrics and, why not, that can also be dated!
Producer Information:
Dr. Bryant Ware: Dr. Ware is a geology researcher (an isotope geochemist, and geochronologist for those who want to know exactly) at Curtin University in Western Australia. He knows all about the nitty gritty details of the geochemical analysis of rocks to produce the data that help us to understand the processes that shape our planet. Despite spending an excessive amount of time in the clean lab, he loves the outdoors and spending time in the field. As a member of the Traveling Geologist Team, and producer on Gneiss Chats from the Geology Podcast Network he enjoys sharing his excitement about geology with others.
Dr. Francesca Miozzi: Francesca has a PhD in planetary geology from Sorbonne University. She is an experimental mineral physicist and petrologist who enjoys squishing and heating minerals to extreme pressures and temperature, to investigate the mysteries of planetary interiors. She is also a member of the Geology Podcast Network’s Gneiss Chats and Traveling Geologist.
