We have 21 projects available for the 2024 BMSIS YSP! Applications are open, and we look forward to greeting a whole new cohort of early career researchers this year. bmsis.org/ysp/projects/

New paper on arxiv, in which we show that the eccentricity of giant planets beyond the snow line can have a pretty huge effect on the extent of volatile delivery to interior terrestrial planets. Read more here: arxiv.org/abs/2402.03441

REU program applications are due Feb. 1, 2024! You can work with scientists at the SETI Institute and @NASAAmes. Research topics span the field of astrobiology, from microbiology to planetary geology to observational astronomy. Apply today: buff.ly/3RKsrC0 #reu

Interested in an internship at @mpi_astro ? Apply for our summer program! this is a paid internship for bachelors and masters students anywhere in the world. Come join us for a summer of science in Heidelberg! mpia.de/en/careers/int…

Behold, the first Habitable Worlds Observatory website is up! Let’s go! habitableworldsobservatory.org/home

@AstroDaria Hey like... how. I am very upset I never have these. Occasionally on other planets doing sci fi things but not like "going to space". Please tell me your secrets.

Had my second ever ultra-vivid dream about going to space last night. Pretty cool

@re_mcelroy @UQscience @unisqaus @tamarastro Congrats on the new position!

Today was my last day as a Fellow at @UQscience. It's been a great 2 years, but I am excited to be starting as a Vice Chancellors' Women in STEMM Fellow at @unisqaus in the new year! Big thanks to @tamarastro for being the coolest boss ever and to all my lovely UQ colleagues 💙

PRESS RELEASE: buff.ly/3NjBdp6 The SETI Institute announced today the establishment of a new postdoctoral research fellowship program funded by its transformative bequest from Qualcomm Co-founder, Franklin Antonio.

Hi everyone, I'm hiring a postdoc to work on planetary thermal evolution modeling with me at @ucsc. Topics will likely include sub-Neptunes, gas giants, and brown dwarfs. Please apply! Deadline is Jan 22nd. jobregister.aas.org/ad/920af500

@ExoWanderer @afeinstein20 I came here to say this too! It's a lot but you *can* read it and understand it as you look without referring to text, and there's all sorts of info there and comparisons to be made. I thought it was well thought out. One of my favs.

@afeinstein20 I fully understand the frustration and annoyance of bad figures. The one on the left sucks. I'm really hoping it was not mine 🙏 But: the Zeng et al. 2019 figures (on the right) are some of my all-time favorite science figures. I want them on my wall pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

How much life has ever existed on Earth? I had fun writing this brief review of some recent work by @Earth2Pete and others. doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

It’s that time of the year again: @CarnegiePlanets is looking for our next cohort of postdoctoral fellows! Research topics of candidates may span the full range of geo- and planetary sciences, including exoplanets and astrochemistry. Due date is Nov 13th! jobregister.aas.org/ad/16682d5c

I am one of the finalists of the Marie Curie Actions #MSCA science policy pitch competition taking place on 14 and 15 November in Toledo, Spain! The finals will be broadcasted online, and you can vote for your favourite candidate 😉

@jennakaycosmic If it makes you feel any better there are tons more oceans out there on other planets and moons— some way more deep and dark, and where you can’t surface because it’s completely covered in thick ice. Hope that helps <3

The ocean is significantly scarier than outer space and I can not be convinced otherwise

@PlanetaryLauren Congrats! Will you be putting a manuscript on arXiv? Excited to read about this

The intrusion rises to the brittle-ductile transition of the ice shell, and then spreads outward and flexes the overlying ice and sedimentary layers into a dome shape. Erosion from methane rain creates the radial pattern of labyrinth-like channels seen in the SAR imagery.

My paper on the origin of northern radial labyrinth terrains on Saturn’s moon Titan was accepted for publication in Icarus this morning!

Very excited to share that pre-registration is open for Two HoRSes!! This conference will bring together experts on planetary and stellar physics, data analysis, and modeling at high spectral resolution, in Berlin, July 2024. Pre-register here: sites.google.com/view/two-horse…

We are #HIRINGNOW Our goal is a postbac who has a lot of experience with computer science so they can work with us on ingesting brown dwarf, exoplanet, and low mass star data into the SIMPLE archive. Pass the word on broadly! #Jobs jobregister.aas.org/ad/c76fa318
