Is it acceptable to work in a bar the way one would work in a coffee shop? Like could I just bring my laptop to the bar, get a pint, and write a thesis proposal draft
“I’m a biomarker girlie!” - me, starting my talk
Loved being at the organic geochem GRS/GRC this week - nothing beats geeking out about lipids and isotopes and mass specs with people who are just excited as you! 🤩
Can’t wait to help plan the next one as a GRS co-chair!

Have we found the solar system's ultimate ice rink? U.S. Olympic ice dancers Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker find out from Dr. Trina Ray, an astronomer working on our @EuropaClipper mission to an intriguing, icy moon of Jupiter. ⛸️🧊 #figureskating go.nasa.gov/495wL5P
I made a substrate revolution themed pie ft. chocolate dickinsonia for the Ediacaran side and bioturbating gummy worms for the Cambrian side. Pls enjoy

WATCHING NOW: A capsule released from the #OSIRISREx spacecraft is scheduled to land in Utah this morning. It contains material from the asteroid #Bennu, and some of it will be analyzed @kh_freeman @GeoscPSU @PSUEMS @AstrobiologyPSU !!! nasa.gov/nasalive
It's the day we’ve been waiting for! Tomorrow, #OSIRISREx delivers asteroid samples to Earth, allowing scientists to study some of the oldest organics in the solar system. Watch LIVE on Sept. 24 at 9am ET: go.nasa.gov/45OwEKR
Follow @NASASolarSystem for play-by-play updates!

ALT A group of people posing in a green field in front of the Green Bank Telescope, in West Virginia.
Had a wonderful time at #AstroBio2023 Oxygen in Planetary Biospheres workshop @GreenBankObserv last weekend. Met lots of new people, presented my work, & talked so much science! 😁

Atop the world's largest fully steerable radio telescope with some of the world's coolest people! So happy to have met @FatimagulHusain and @wizardofdrozd on this trip to @GreenBankObserv!

To everyone who received the GRFP, congrats! And to those who didn't, remember that these awards do not define your success or worth as a scientist. There are many amazing scientists who did not receive this award and you're not alone. You are worthy and capable of great things!
Getting a little emotional thinking about the significance of this paper on me as a scientist 🥹 the samples were collected when I was still in high school in 2018 and the work I did here was the first lab work I ever did outside of AP chem
my first paper is out now! We looked at the early degradation of lipid biomarkers in microbial mats from the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica to understand how biomarkers preserve in cold, arid settings. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! authors.elsevier.com/a/1gpml…

I spent so much time learning with this project - not just how to extract the lipids or run an LC-MS, but how to analyze large data sets and learn from literature and write like an academic! I even learned how to code just to make the figures for this paper

tiny random appreciation post for the Precambrian Paleobiology Research Group because I just went down a rabbit hole and dude the research that came out of the PPRC is SO COOL shoutout interdisciplinary science

Very excited to share a new study entitled "Reconciling discrepant minor sulfur isotope records of the Great Oxidation Event" out online today at @NatureComms!
With coauthors @GarethIzon, Shuhei Ono, Nicolas Beukes, and @biogeonerd. A🧵 below.
