@iamrockrat @heab @ausynchrotron @BurkeTahnee @MonashEAE @SpaceRocksAust Yep! Totes norm! Next time, Mars!

@ItsJenMitchell @roll20app It was a pleasure! What better way to make lifelong friends! T.I.M. has a special place in my heart!

@jackconte just watched you 2nd renaissance video. Great energy and great optimism! But I want to ask, do you think a Patreon model would work for a scientist to fund their research? It was the other side of the renaissance, driven by creative expression. Thoughts?

I am glad to see hate politics given the boot in the US. This election was super important for all those in the US, but it was also super important for people who value truth, science and equality around the world. Hopefully we can now all sort our own shitty politics out!

@Leozaur Not today (obvs) but I miss our breakfasts in the desert hunting for meteorites. Damn you, pandemic!

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

. @JasminaGalloway and @DrAndy_Tomkins join the forces of geology and physics to explore what happens when radioactive supanova remnants "bullets" are shot into forming planets in the "habitable zone". Can they influence habitability?

Dr Christophe Pinte from @MonashAstro delves into the detail of the proto- (and hosting! ) planetary disk and shows evidence of planets in gaps via calculated deviation of emitted gasses.

. @danprice_astro of Monash Uni Physics discusses hunting rapidly formed planets within radially distributed dust rings of protoplanetary discs from ALMA surveys
#sserviOz2019

[Dr Jen Mitchell @ItsJenMitchell]

Kicking off #sserviOz2019 with invited speaker Mike Zolensky on what we can expect from samples from #asteroid Ryugu

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

Space rocks team member @GneissguyAngus teaches us about how PGEs in #micrometeorites recovered from the Nullarbor and Flinders Ranges may be used tell us about atmospheric chemistries from both the modern and palaeo- atmospheres.

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

Trevor Ireland of @anuearthscience presents the story of the Japanese Hayabusa sample missions of S and C-type asteroids and how the frustrating challenges experienced dictated an interesting evolution of craft design and sample techiques for Ryugu

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

Our #sserviOz2019 host @ItsJenMitchell presents a rare example of a beautiful pristine chondrule stumbled upon in a polymict breccia (Howardite) from a Vesta ejecta blanket and discusses implications for timing of LL(?) chondrule incorporation and sulfidation.

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

David Flannery from UQ takes us through the plan for #Mars2020 mission to #Jezero Crator, the rover's onboard tech and Australia's involvement through informative Archean fossil samples in the search for life on #Mars
@sserviaustralia
#sserviOz2019

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

Exciting preliminary results and insights from @NASAInSight presented by @SpaceKatarina investigating Martian planetary interiors and impact events. @sserviaustralia
#sserviOz2019

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

. @DrAndy_Tomkins and the space rocks team find hundreds of #micrometeorites in limestone cracks on the Nullarbor, a Martian analogue site, and discuss its implications as a source of energy for microbes
#sserviOz2019

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

. @_Ken_Orr_ uses TIMA, EBSD, EPMA and uFTIR techniques on Martian #meteorites achieving mineral spectra to map Mars

#sserviOz2019

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

First #sserviOz2019 invited talk on visualising fabrics in basaltic Martian #meteorites (#shergottites) (and doggos!) with @PlanetOfLucy through electron backscatter showing lava settling and flowing regimes on Mars.

[Space Rocks! @SpaceRocksAust]

The space rocks team is excited to be attending #sserviOz2019 with host @ItsJenMitchell and @DrAndy_Tomkins at @ausynchrotron with @heab

[David Hoffmann @dahoal]

Joined the #ClimateStrike with other @MonashEAE PhD fellows in Melbourne today! 150,000 people were gathering to make a stand!!
