Last week, Quartz, the finance publication co-founded by Zach Seward in 2012, was sold by G/O Media to a Canadian software company. All the editorial staff were fired. In a blogpost, Seward writes about Quartz's journey from thriving enterprise to "zombie brand." It's a story that has been repeated across journalism for years now, but Seward sees some hope in the ascendant non-profit media scene. "The media business often feels like a battle between idealists and cynics," he writes. "Most of my favorite news startups of the current era have chosen the non-profit path, which has its own major challenges, but at least cynicism is not one of them."

[Back on #Earth ...] Between land and sea there's the beach, the #sand and its grains of #quartz that the breaking #waves continuously disintegrate, feeding the #phytoplankton with dissolved silicon.

This new source of dissolved silicon has just been discovered by several OMP researchers, including Sébastien Fabre from IRAP. It joins those provided by rivers, groundwater discharges and hydrothermal vents.

How is the #BiologicalPump, the mechanism by which the ocean captures and sequesters atmospheric #CO2, affected? Find out here: irap.omp.eu/en/2025/03/the-con

Years ago, I was asked to make a print for a missing element in a gallery show of the Periodic Table Printmaking Project, which gathered prints by different artists for each element . This small linocut represents the chemical element Silicon, with its diamond cubic crystal structure shown in silver. Its symbol, atomic number and a couple of its forms are shown in lilac. Silicon is common in the Earth’s crust 🧵1/n

As described, this small linocut represents the chemical element Silicon, with its diamond cubic crystal structure shown in silver as a collection of balls. Its symbol, atomic number and a couple of its forms are printed on top of the silver layer in lilac. This shows quartz crystals in each corner. Four radiolarians circle the symbol for Silicon on the periodic table. The print is one of an edition of 14, each 6” x 6” (15.2 cm x 15.2 cm) printed on Japanese kozo paper.

The next prompt from #printerSolstice2425 is silicon and as a geophysicist I am always going to think of SiO2, quartz, one of my favourites and the first mineral I printed in this older #linocut. Quartz was the first mineral I learned to identify as a child. Rhapsodizing about the averageness of its physical properties might sound like a strange yet boring thing to celebrate but physicists love using the power of approximation. 🧵1/n

My mini linocut with quartz crystals and word “Quartz” in script in slate grey. Some of the facets of the crystals are printed onto collaged iridescent translucent paper so they have a pink to pale blue sheen.
