@ThomCheney @Astrobiology_OU @OU_Law Great job and I wish I could discuss a few thoughts over coffee with you! Come back for some chat and more serious discussions, soon, please!

Congratulations, Dr Vasavada!

[The Open University @OpenUniversity]

A huge welcome to the #OUfamily to Dr Ashwin Vasavada, a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory project scientist, who joined us at our Manchester ceremony last Friday.

Here's his message to all of our out-of-this-world (sorry 😉) grads crossing the stage this year. 🚀

Working on the light gas gun today with @Amy_R_Dugdale ☄️🔫

Here she is rotating the gun to fire vertically - imo this is the coolest bit of the prep for firing because you can really see the scale of the equipment 💪

@jupiterjonz There are many around you on the same path, some ahead, some will follow, you'll take your own path, but there will always be fellow climbers to give you company - and a hand, too!

New building, new adventure! For the next three months I will be working with the Research and Information Service @Assemblylibrary of the Northern Ireland Assembly to help answer science based members enquiries, research papers and learn how science becomes policy.

When I landed on Mars 10 years ago, I aimed to answer an important question: Could Mars have supported ancient life? After some careful analysis, the scientists on my team say yes! So, what does that mean? Hear more about that from my Deputy Project Scientist Abigail Fraeman.

[Simon Lee @paradoxbridge]

Great audience questions, eg from Prof Monica Grady, & engaging answers from @OlssonKaren to round off this inaugural lecture on the theme of @Astrobiology_OU’s research question, which is, ‘Are we alone in the Universe?’ @Astrobiology_OU @OUCitizenGovern @OpenUniversity @OU_Law

[AstrobiologyOU @Astrobiology_OU]

Fieldwork in terrestrial analogue environments leads to exciting findings:
