ICYMI, we shared some big news this week! 🎉 Scripps Institution of Oceanography at @UCSanDiego is proud to welcome esteemed Earth & planetary scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa as the 12th director of our institution. Hear directly from Dr. Wadhwa in this video: https://t.co/fD2eilW4LA
Please support federal funding for research. It's the engine that drives new technologies, startups, security, workforce. It's invisible to most people but foundational for our nation. The proposed cuts will hurt us in coming decades...when we can't make up that deficit.
#PhDPosition We are looking for most outstanding PhD students to work with me at the DEPS in @HKUniversity, a top university in Asia (11th globally), to explore the Moon especially those with a BSc/MSc degree in geology, geochemistry, geophysics, remote sensing, GISc, or geomatics.

#AllMineralsConsidered : Clinopyroxene offers clues into the inner workings of volcanic systems, as @teresaubide (@UQ_News @UQscience) explains. Its ability to track where and when magma is stored may also help to forecast eruptions.

Volcanic beads in the Chang'e-5 soils indicate lunar volcanism is active 120 Ma! Remote sensing found young lunar volcanism (<100 Ma) for years but in debate without samples, this is the 1st time extremely young lunar volcanic products discovered! https://t.co/L7tPPYnsBM
Paper Alert 🚨: Excited to share our work on unbrecciated lunar basaltic meteorites in the context of lunar magmatic evolution. Thanks to all coauthors @teresaubide@nouchia24 ; editors and reviewers @MeteoriticsPS for this great learning experience. #Moon

Good luck, Chang’e-6! Boldly going where no one has gone before. The world lunar community can’t wait to learn more about the farside of the Moon @CNSA_en @esa @NASA @isro @JAXA_en @UKSpaceag @OU_SPS https://t.co/WHtJLS8KXt
Defended my thesis today😊 Grateful to everyone who had been part of this incredible journey.
Well this isn’t the end… it’s just a start of my journey of understanding the Moon and the Solar System.
Best poster award at the Astronomical Society of India meeting 2024, to Dr Namita Uppal for her poster on "Revealing the Spiral Arms of our Galaxy towards the anti-centre direction: Insights from interstellar polarisation"
Congratulations Namita!
