My mom was the 3rd woman in Colombia to become a chemical engineer. Her brother paid her tuition the 1st yr and then she received a merit award for the rest of her degree, she needed to maintain a high GPA. I never questioned whether I could be good in sciences. Thank you mom.

Very proud of my student Bo Peng for successfully defending his PhD thesis. Bo tackled 2 very different streams: magma ocean and atmosphere physics-chemical coupling & carbon outgassing of planetesimals with a different physical-mechanical-chemical model. Well done!

Active volcanism on Venus!! By using archive data (from the 90s) scientists were able to « see » , by comparing images, vents changing side and lava flows from three volcanoes (one reported last year, the other two recently). jpl.nasa.gov/news/ongoing-v…

Finished giving my talk on exoplanets to planetary scientists. This was my first in person talk after Covid, and I was nervous 😬. But in the end, I had a blast. Shared so many good ideas. Science at its finest. Darn for carbon footprint 👣 #academic

Heading to Earth and Planets Origin Workshop in Paris. Super excited to reconnect with my colleagues. But this #academic mom is with a heavy heart from leaving my girl crying in the train station. Ouch. I know it gets better, but darn.

If, at the most basic level, you cannot explain what you are doing to a kid, it probably means you don't understand what you are doing. If you need to use big words to explain your model, then it means you're hiding your insecurities. Kids are quite perceptive.

OpenAI called for ‘the best researchers and engineers in the world to meet the [superalignment] challenge’, very proud that my spouse Kristen Menou’s ideas got funded (1 of the 50 out of 2700!) #AIsafety.

Jan Leike@janleike

The superalignment fast grants are now decided! We got a *ton* of really strong applications, so unfortunately we had to say no to many we're very excited about. There is still so much good research waiting to be funded. Congrats to all recipients!

The competition on the science fair should only be on how they communicate about their project but nothing on the basis of how innovative the idea is. It’s really easy to squash their confidence on taking risks with their ideas for the purpose of a good grade.

Ask them to test any idea they have. It only has to be original to them. Discourage looking things up online, or even in books, just anything they can think of themselves. As long as they came up with it and follow the scientific method to learn something, then it’s a gold star.

Dear science teachers: please don’t ask your students to come up with innovative ideas for the #science fair. I have seen too many flashy projects that are taken from the internet. The students learn not to value their ideas. Instead…

I wonder, howmuch more science could young Colombians do if they were not thinking about having to pay for the expenses that should be paid for by governing institutions?

@Valencia_planet Mi sangre colombiana, con su bajo punto de ebullición, quiere partirle la mano a él. Mi cerebro me pone en la misma situación y me dice que no sabría que hacer. Mi corazón les manda un abrazo a las dos.

I thought I would share a very important research result about plastic. In a nutshell, in bottled water they found copious amounts of nano plastic particles that the human bodies assimilate easily (more than microplastics). pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Pic update. The amazingly talented Ricardo Pinzon (IG: ricardopinzonhidalgo) is behind the camera. Special significance that it was taken in the 🏡 I grew up in. Had no idea I was going to become a professional astronomer. I was raised in a country without such a program.
