So proud of my Purdue EAPS research team – big congrats to Mariana Blanco-Rojas and Brianne Checketts for winning the LPSC Dwornik awards for best graduate and undergraduate talks for their talks on Uranus moons and Mars! How lucky am I to get to work with such great students?

Are you looking for a PhD position? Are you excited about conducting laboratory experiments that simulate #exoplanets, #MagmaOceans, and #LavaWorlds? Come work with me Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research. Application deadline is 1st of October! mps.mpg.de/phd/planetary-…

Love the example characters for the #AGU24 convener guide.

We are excited to announce that submissions are now open for The Art of Planetary Science 2025! Find more information here: lpl.arizona.edu/art/

In a place as far from the Sun as Jupiter, you need really big solar panels to power a spacecraft. With the final installation of its massive solar arrays, NASA Europa Clipper is one step closer to launch. Why are they so important and so unique? See for yourself 👇

Our mission to explore Jupiter's moon Europa remains on track, with a launch period opening on Oct. 10. We recently conducted extensive testing of our spacecraft's transistors, and results suggest they're ready to support our baseline mission. go.nasa.gov/473wa4U

Applying for postdoc fellowships can feel like a full-time job sometimes🙃

It seems like the longer one stays in academia, the more likely they are to do long distance running or rock climbing.

Launch window for NASA Europa Clipper opens next month! Reflecting on the incredible legacy of longtime Arizona State University faculty Ron Greeley, a terrific colleague and mentor to so many of us, including Project Scientist Bob Pappalardo and E-THEMIS PI and School of Earth and Space Exploration faculty Phil Christensen. #ForksUp

That's a go: Today our mission passed a standard planning milestone known as Key Decision Point E. We're now approved to proceed toward a launch period that opens Thursday, Oct. 10.  go.nasa.gov/47h65iR

At School of Earth and Space Exploration we have these cool boards showing the countdown to several space missions. I think we should add one for 339 days from now when I will start as Associate Professor. Keep an eye out for postdoc and grad student job postings. Come join us!

Time flies by fast... 28 days until the scheduled Europa Clipper launch 😵‍💫

So excited for launch 🚀

Congratulations to all AGU (American Geophysical Union) honorees, and especially my tremendous School of Earth and Space Exploration colleagues Dr. Christy Till (she/her) Lindy Elkins-Tanton Jim_Bell Ed Garnero! #ForksUp The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Arizona State University Research ASU News
