It might not be in @MineralCup but it could be in the #EleCup22 Got any fun nitrogen facts that could make this element the winner ?_?
Elements not in #MinCup2021 - #nitrogen This might be something of a surprise - after all, 78% of each breath is N2 gas, and nitrogen is an essential element for all life on Earth. However, many nitrogen minerals are ephemeral. Let's take a look! mindat.org/photo-567181.h… 1/7

To soothe the absence of #MinCup for the next 11 months, check out: #FatBearWeek at @KatmaiNPS @CupGeomon @dinocup2 #ExoplanetCup with @exo_cast @ElementCup @ForamWeek We also recommend our friends at @SS_RockExchange for trading rocks with strangers around the world!
@MineralCup We made this mistake without a teething newborn.
We know we've been quiet (it's the off season afterall!) but we encourage all our followers to check out this years @MineralCup which starts today!!!!! Learn lots about cool #minerals, and maybe share some facts about the #elements that make them! #MinCup2021 #RealTimeChem
It’s that most beautiful time of the year! A mix of 32 minerals (& groups!) from common to esoteric are competing, each with unique reasons to love it above all others. But only one mineral can be crowned champion. #MinCup2021 daily votes start September 1st.
If you enjoyed #EleCup21 consider following and participating in @MineralCup, the cup we are based on! They are updating their rules so maybe jump in an vote on which rules should stay, go, or be edited.
It’s time to update our rules for #MinCup2021! We’ll vote on keeping, editing or discarding last year’s rule changes now that we’ve experienced what they’re like during #MinCup2020. Do you have requests or suggestions for what we should do differently this year?
We like the periodic table too ;)
1. Periodic Table 2. Thermodynamics 3. Chemical Bonding For school students I'd replace Thermodynamics with Stoichiometry.
@Cat_Crotty @Anthony_Lanati @crenggli Was it our filming? We thought we did a good job on a short timeframe with a low budget 🥺
@crenggli @Cat_Crotty @Anthony_Lanati Can confirm. We did NOT have the budget for that!
@brucefschaefer We do love edgy suggestions, and the polls did show that people want the admins to choose 🤔 .... 😈
📢 #EleCup21 Announcment 📢 After nearly 8500 votes you declared #teamUranium your champion, who gets to take a break from next years competition. You also decided which #elements to eliminate. We sent them off in the best way we knew how. (See ending) #RealTimeChem #scicomm
Please consider filling this out so we can get to know our audience!
Thanks to everyone who has voted in the polls to help make a better cup for next year! A final poll (in two parts, so we have 8 options). We would love to see how the distribution of backgrounds has changed since the beginning of the cup.

📊Questions to improve the Element Cup experience for next year📊 Below there will be a series of poll questions for everyone to answer. Additionally, we would love any feedback you have to give on what YOU think would make a better cup!

The Verge: This alien-like metal may one day power your electronics. theverge.com/2021/6/18/2253… Bismuth is pretty, and nifty! @MineralCup @USGSMinerals @NMT_EES @mtugeomining #Potential
@And1129 One can never start advocating for an element too early! Weekend breaks in rounds could be prime time for revving up for the next bracket
@roolimoo Admins are having a cracking day. I copied too much of the question. The yes or no option relates SPECIFICALLY to "Do you think that the cup should run on weekends?" Apologies. We are a bit too relaxed after our break. Might need more naps
@roolimoo Apologies, typo killed this one. To clarify: The yes or no option relates to "Do you think that the cup should run on weekends, or should it be kept to weekdays only?" Typo: If you think it SHOULDN'T be run on weekends, do you want less matches, or the same number of matches?
