@EliDjomekou DM me! We can do a virtual coffee :) if you’re a civil servant, though, I don’t want to get you in trouble

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

Hey folks- started a casual dine-around at #LPSC2025 on Wednesday to talk about how you can advocate for yourself and your science in a tough political environment. Sign up for Baja cantina here- https://t.co/xdJPaUhSTZ

I was wondering when the Moon would appear! Happy first day at the best conference of the year! #LPSC2025 @LPItoday

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

So excited to be an Ambassador for #LPSC2025 & @LPItoday! My poster is packed and I’m ready to go 😀
Too bad my flight’s not until Sunday…

@hankgreen @dearhankandjohn well, VIPER got cancelled. Let me know if you’re interested in having a chat with folks who built a rover just to let politics get in the way 🫠🫠🫠

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

Well there goes my space car 🫠

After a comprehensive review, we are discontinuing development of our VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover) project. We are committed to studying and exploring the Moon, and will pursue other methods to accomplish many of VIPER's goals: https://t.co/oMyngdoUKc

@dearhankandjohn @hankgreen I’m literally having lunch with the project scientist for InSight (and the Far Side Seismic Suite) right now so let me know if you have any specific questions

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

@hankgreen @dearhankandjohn for “This Week in Mars” - I’m at the InSight mission wrap up meeting. The last 2 sessions are on the future of geophysical missions to Mars and the Moon. Might be of interest ;)

@GabeEggers You going to Cleveland too?

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

@PoPville That’s exactly what went through my head

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

@hankgreen I was wrong during trivia night last Thursday. Not only does Dinkinesh have its own Moon buddy, it’s MOON has its own Moon buddy! My mentor wasn’t allowed to tell me until today 😬😭😃

@SvahaUSA I wish you still sold these :( they are my favorites and mine are in shreds

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

Thanks little buddy ❤️ an important reminder as I continue bumbling my way through my doctoral program

[ARCHIVED - Curiosity Rover @MarsCuriosity]

If your path ahead is rocky, I feel you. We got this.

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

@princessawesome Please. I already bought it like 20 minutes ago 🤣

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

@princessawesome are you going to sell more of the mars rover skirts/dresses? I missed the preorder and I want one SO BAD

[Katie Gansler @PlanetaryKG]

@princessawesome Oh thank goodness because I’ve been refreshing the page for months waiting for it
