Thrilled to share that our project to rebuild ancient proteins has been awarded the W. M. Keck Foundation award!

We will explore 3+ billion years of molecular diversity to uncover how nitrogenase endured Earth's shifting atmosphere and temperatures. (1)

A game changer in trauma recovery is when we realize we are rooted, absolutely rooted, in our commitment to our own safety & stability, as opposed to our need to please or impress or entertain or attract anyone else.

Keep returning to that goal. See it. Stay on it, relentlessly.

Wow! What an AMAZING collection of primers on interdisciplinary topics in exoplanet science and astrobiology! Great readings for you classes or for anyone wanting to learn more about these topics.

[Dr. Natalie Hinkel @natalie_hinkel]

Is your brain ready for a LOT of interdisciplinary exoplanet knowledge! 🧐🤯 You know it is!

🧵In Jan 2021, Keith Putirka, Siyi Xu, and I joined forces to put together 15 chapters (and a workshop!**) written by experts in their field, where the core of each chapter was:

UWAB members Jodi Young and Fabian Klenner joined the College of Environment’s FieldSound podcast to discuss how extreme environments on Earth can inform us about the search for life on distant exoplanets and icy moons!

@horizonSci Congratulations Jason!!

My seven-year-old asked for a dictionary this week. We went to the bookshop today to buy one. She walked home hugging it, pausing every so often to look up a word, grinning as though she had been given a book of spells, the key to wonders.

Do you want to be an exoplanetary atmospheres postdoc with Prof. Ty Robinson at the Univ of Arizona?

Models of resolved convection in planetary atmospheres, evolutionary simulations for sub-Neptunes, and co-create a training camp for Cal-Bridge students!

If you are applying for a 51 Peg b postdoc fellowship this round and you love exoplanets and astrobiology, I’d strongly encourage you to apply with UW as a host institution. Feel free to contact me about joining our world-class astrobiology community!

[UW Astrobiology @uwastrobiology]

Heising-Simons 51 Pegasi b Fellowship applications are due October 4th! With a particularly strong program in exoplanet science and astrobiology, we highly encourage applicants to select UW as one of their choices for host institution!

For the last week I have pushed myself to write for an hour every day and the results have been nothing short of extraordinary

PhD student Bethlee Lindor @bmlindor just dropped a preprint on viewing the Solar System as a multi-transiting habitable-zone terrestrial planet system. https://t.co/KKczpgOUm9

I’m so, so, so excited about this program! And a fabulous use of @NASAHubble’s unique UV capabilities! The team is filled with experts I adore working with, co-led by @parkaroni and @astroshrey. Big thanks to the TAC for seeing the vision here!

@ElsaDucrot Congratulations Elsa!!! So well deserved! 😀

[Université de Liège @UniversiteLiege]

Astronomer Michaël Gillon and the #SPECULOOS team discovered a new Earth-sized exoplanet around SPECULOOS-3, an "ultracool dwarf" star as small as Jupiter, twice as cold as our Sun, and located 55 light-years from Earth. #ULiège @NatureAstronomy @NASA

Wooo!!! 🙌 Congratulations Shawn, and your fellow editors and contributors!

[Sean Raymond @sraymond_astro]

If your bookshelf is jonesing for the new Space Science Series book, you're in luck!

Here comes Comets III, a comprehensive update to the latest breakthroughs in comet science over the last twenty years!

Lots of great chapters covering all sorts of good stuff!
