Had two day midnight to early morning virtual conference! Totally worth it. Learnt so much and saved on travel!

Resonating with our hypothesis so much! Please fund our work, NASA! 🤞
*Cronch* I ran over a rock and found crystals inside!
It's pure sulfur. (And no, it doesn’t smell.) Elemental sulfur is something we’ve never seen before on Mars. We don't know much about these yellow crystals yet, but my team is excited to investigate. go.nasa.gov/4bPdSow
ALT A close-up photo taken by the Curiosity rover shows pure yellow sulfur crystals within a rock the robot drove over. Surrounding the yellow crystals is sandy and rust-colored Martian rock. Along the crack in the center are dull yellow crystalline pieces of elemental sulfur.

Postdoc opening: transition meta sulfide chemistry. Prefer those with experience in any of the following: EXAFS, PDF, NMR and/or TEM. Apply today.
Right thing to do!
With Valley Fever cases on the rise, research on the disease has never been more important.
As part of a Regents' Research Grant, @ASU, @NAU, @UArizona and ADEQ researchers are developing technology that would suppress blowing dust and the spread of Valley Fever spores.

Yes! Bonnie style!
A great interview with one of the best scientists I know!
Read, learn and be passionate for what you work on—Bonnie Style!

Did not have overlap with Dr Amend in research, but he generously shared his tips of recruiting students with me at a recent GRC. A big loss for our community.

Attended a great GRC. First in person conference within the past 5 years. Great talks and networking. Now back to handle the numerous things that need my immediate attention including an overdue annual review 😳hope the committee is not mad at me for being late.

Used it as a model for biofilm study in mineralogical environment in graduate school! But raised little interest in the Earth science community.

Fantastic Rachel has successfully defended her thesis! @The_Mo_we_know
She has done a beautiful job on Fe-Mo-sulfide system reaction mechanisms. She will continue to create more awesomeness for sure and be sorely missed by all of us!
