A huge thanks to our incredible study leads, Parke, evgenya shkolnik, Joe and Gregg as well as the amazing Keck Institute for Space Studies team for a fantastic workshop - I can’t wait to see the future impact of this dynamic and interdisciplinary group! 💫💫💫

Dear Fans and Practitioners of Space Weather, Please consider attending and/or submitting an abstract to our AGU session P22: Observing Solar and Extrasolar Planetary Particle Environments. Deadline July 31. agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prel…

Dear Astrobiologists, Planetary Scientists, HWO fans, and/or AGU attendees, You may be interested in submitting an abstract to our session entitled: Planetary Science and Astrobiology with the Habitable Worlds Observatory Deadline: July 31 agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prel…

Right back at ya', Keck Institute for Space Studies team, Harriet Brettle, and Bethany Ehlmann! Huge thanks for all your support and organization for the two workshops. We are hard at work writing our final report!

Any proposal for explaining life should be able to simultaneously allow us to solve the origin of life and to identify alien life on other worlds: unifying these is how we transition from pre-paradigmatic science to a new paradigm in the study of what life is.

Every great team starts with individuals who are great on teams. Here are my favorite five individual superpowers that make for great teams. medium.com/@ltelkins/star…

A total treat seeing Sara Imari Walker in the The New York Times. I’m stoked to learn more from her new book coming out in 4 days! nytimes.com/2024/07/31/sci…

Oh how I miss Observatory Meals (dinners, night lunches, breakfasts after a long night of data collection) at telescopes all over the world. This The New York Times article by Dennis Overbye brought back some spectacular memories. nytimes.com/2024/08/04/sci…

LIFE AS NO ONE KNOWS IT is out TODAY! And, I’m especially excited for three things (1) inspiring thoughts/debate on the fundamental nature of life (2) catalyzing discussion on how we might solve it and (3) your thoughts! (photo from the fab caitlin o’hara)

✨huge milestone✨ official project office for Habitable Worlds Observatory opened for business at GSFC Aug 1! HWO Technology Maturation Project Office (TeMPO) to dev pre-formulation plan to get to successful mission concept review asap & enter into PhaseA shorturl.at/AZz4z

Lindy Elkins-Tanton, VP of the ASU Interplanetary Initiative and lead PI for the NASA/ASU Psyche mission has been publishing several short essays this summer - read her latest “Make Conflict Safe, Because Without it We’ll Never Get Anywhere”. ow.ly/TTTh50SUU1v

A day well spent with my School of Earth and Space Exploration colleagues at our annual faculty retreat! And so very proud to be among (still too few) geo/astro departments approaching gender parity.

And yet M dwarfs far outnumber any other kind of star…

Here is my piece on Sara Imari Walker most excellent new book "Life as No One Knows It". Anyone interested in the physics of life, the origin of life or the possibilities of life beyond Earth should read it. bigthink.com/13-8/sara-walk…

It's paper day!!! Turns out some of the stellar radio emission observed in the VLA Sky Survey may be associated with superflares occurring on solar-type stars arxiv.org/abs/2408.14612 (1/9)

What should the top science priorities be for the first human explorers on the surface of #Mars?  Share your thoughts with an ongoing National Academies study during a virtual town hall on 9/19 at 12pm ET.  Register: nationalacademies.org/event/43583_09…

Dave and Sara Seager making Canada and all Canadian astronomers, like me, proud! 🇨🇦🔭🪐🍁

Happy Inter-Exoplanetary Transit Celebration Day! 🔭🪐🎉🍾 for those who celebrate! (with should be all of us :). Dave Charbonneau reminded me recently that he and his team detected the first exoplanet transit (that of HD 209458) on 9/9/99, 25 years ago today. Wow.
