May 18, 2024: Group members Yuanyuan Tian and Wenxia Huang volunteered for the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) Science Day, responsible for the meteorite stand (see the following photos). After this day, the world may have gained a thousand more children who have learned about and touched meteorites! The theme of USTC's 2024 Science Day is "Promoting the Spirit of Scientists, Stimulating Innovation Across Society." This event featured 28 science schemes, including 124 stands/sites and 13 series of outreach talks, which has attracted approximately 30,000 visitors, mainly consisting of primary and middle school students. For highlights of the event, please see the news from USTC's official WeChat account.

For detailed information, please refer to the WeChat account "Mantle Exchange Dynamics," and the announcement was also reposted by the WeChat account "Chemical Planet."
January 6-7, 2024: Zhengbin Deng attended the "Solid Earth Science Key Laboratory Alliance 2023 Academic Committee Meeting" in Beijing. The hosting unit for this meeting was the "National Key Laboratory of Shale Gas Enrichment Mechanism and Efficient Development."
January 3, 2024: Yipo Jike (who has been admitted to graduate school and will start his master study in the fall of 2024) arrived in Hefei to begin research work related to his undergraduate thesis. Welcome, Yipo!
December 21-22, 2023: Zhengbin Deng participated in the "2023 Annual Graduate Supervisor Training and Exchange Seminar" at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). This training covered various aspects including mentor career planning, psychological health education, academic integrity, laboratory safety, recruitment and cultivation, and degree management. On the 22nd, new doctoral supervisors engaged in group discussions and exchanges. Highlights of the event can be found on the USTC news website.
December 13, 2023: The procurement process for the latest generation of Sapphire Collision-Cell Multi-Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (Sapphire CC MC-ICP-MS, for a lab jointly built and shared with Haolan Tang) has been completed. Let's await the arrival of the new instrument!
November 18-19, 2023: Zhengbin Deng represented the School of Earth and Space Sciences in the 4th Annual Faculty Air Volleyball Tournament at USTC. The tournament lasted two days, with the school team winning all three matches in the group stage on the first day. In the knockout stage the following day, they defeated the team from USTC Affiliated High School with a score of 2-1. Unfortunately, they lost in the semifinals and the third/fourth-place playoff to the teams from the affiliated hospital and the School of Physics, respectively, ultimately finishing fourth. There were 15 men's teams and 14 women's teams participating in the tournament, making the games lively and exciting. Air volleyball matches not only promote physical fitness but also enrich the extracurricular lives of faculty members. Many thanks to the university's labor union and the Faculty Volleyball Association for their hard work in organizing the event. Highlights of the event can be found on the USTC news website.
November 11, 2023: Zhengbin Deng represented the School of Earth and Space Sciences in the 2nd Annual Faculty Badminton Mixed Team Tournament at USTC. Competing in the mixed doubles category, despite facing tough opponents (from the School of Computer Science, the School of Mathematics, and the Synchrotron Radiation Research Center), they managed to win one out of three matches. The school team finished third in the group stage and had to wait until next year to compete again. With 22 teams and 176 faculty members participating, the tournament showcased a high level of competition, reflecting the excellent badminton atmosphere and grassroots foundation at USTC. Highlights of the event can be found on the USTC news website.
November 4, 2023: Zhengbin Deng attended the First National Forum on Earth and Planetary Science Talent Cultivation for High School Students and the establishment ceremony of the "Earth and Planetary Science Talent Cultivation Alliance" at Chongqing Foreign Language School. Experts from more than 60 universities and high schools engaged in intense discussions on the disconnect between Earth and planetary science teaching in high schools and universities. They hope that, with joint efforts from major universities and high schools, the issue of Earth and planetary science not being emphasized in high school education can be quickly addressed. For more details, please refer to news reports.
