She Turned Geology Into a Content Goldmine

There’s an influencer for everything—including the intersection of geology, volcanology, academia, and queer joy. This week, we are chatting with Denali (@dykanite), a PhD student and science communicator with nearly 300k Instagram followers whose viral posts make earth science funny, fierce, and deeply human. They dig into how a geology joke launched an entire platform, why science isn’t neutral, and what it means to be an openly queer researcher in a field still catching up to the moment. It’s smart, hilarious, and will totally change the way you look at rocks.
