Check out this new publication by my #PhD student @JoshuaLaughton on the Precambrian #geology of #DevonIsland in the 🇨🇦 #Arctic https://t.co/YTkuEuhPkz #PrecambrianResearch @westernuEarth

[Gordon Oz Osinski @drcrater]

And that’s a wrap!! 13 days, 3 states, amazing impact, volcanic & sedimentary #geology sites, stunning views, fantastic campgrounds & an awesome team! Planetary Surface Processes #PS9605 @WesternU @westernuSpace @westernuEarth

[Simona Ruso, Ph.D. @simonaruso]

Running up and down sand dunes to end the #PS9605 field school 😮‍💨 These are parabolic dunes found in the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park near the Arizona/Utah border. What a fun way to end an amazing field school experience!

[Taylor @Taylor_Dunks]

Who’s more tuff? This tuff ring or @JoshuaLaughton 🤔 #PS9605

[Simona Ruso, Ph.D. @simonaruso]

Lava flows and desiccation cracks at Grand Falls, Arizona. Ground truthing some satellite imagery during the #PS9605 field course!

[Simona Ruso, Ph.D. @simonaruso]

T - 5.5 hours until we (the lucky ones driving from #LondonOnt) are finally in Vegas. Meeting up with the rest of the @WesternU #PS9605 Planetary Surface Processes Field Course crew tomorrow before heading out into the desert!

[Leah Sacks @LithicLeah]

Driving through Colorado on my way to the start of the #PS9605 surface processes field course through @westernuSpace and @westernuEarth. Having a great time with @simonaruso and @JoshuaLaughton!

[Joshua Laughton @JoshuaLaughton]

In the middle of Colorado on our way to the #PS9605 Arizona-Utah course. @westernuEarth

[Gordon Oz Osinski @drcrater]

At T-minus 4 days the advance crew are off! All packed up & ready to go for their road-trip to Nevada for Planetary Surface Processes field school #PS9605 @LithicLeah @JoshuaLaughton @simonaruso @westernuSpace @westernuEarth

[Leah Sacks @LithicLeah]

Thanks @rocdocmars and @drcrater for both these great tweets and all of your help and work on this paper, my first, first-author paper. If you haven't seen it yet, check out these fantastic Hargraves Crater ejecta images here: https://t.co/5RnD9G6gqI!

[Livio L. Tornabene @rocdocmars]

Congratulations to @LithicLeah! 👏🏽 It’s nice to see our work on the Hargraves ejecta finally published after first imaging it w @HiRISE & recognizing it as an interesting & informative occurrence more than a decade ago!

[Leah Sacks @LithicLeah]

@PBarmby @drcrater Thanks Pauline!

1/ Proud to share our work out today @NatureCancer! Using new models of #CRC with defined NeoAgs, we describe a mechanism of early T cell dysfunction in #immunotherapy refractory tumors and strategies to overcome it. @LabJacks, @MITBiology, @kochinstitute https://t.co/Wd6Iol8SXM
