@abgradcon 2025 is over now & it's been a privilege to co-organise (as much as I can from Aus). This is my #1 fave conference cause it's so valuable for grads to have a space to learn from & with each other + meet the friends/colleagues they will have for the rest of their career

1/3 Earlier this year, geoconservationist and @AussieAstrobio PhD candidate @clarefletcher42 spent four weeks living and working at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah. This remote station provides scientists with a “testing ground” for identifying evidence of early life.

I am extremely proud to have finally got my first journal article published! It's been almost 9 months of back and forth since first submitting to the journal, and was a similar amount of work to write in the first place. doi.org/10.1016/j.spac…

Happy @UNESCO @GeodiversityDay! I'm so proud to work in geoscience & geoconservation for Earth & Mars. It means the world to me to spread my love of protecting our geodiversity at #UNCOPUOS or in this interview: unesco.org/en/articles/ma… What amazing geoscientists surround me😍
International Geodiversity Day@GeodiversityDay

🥳 It's #GeodiversityDay! 🌎 Today is a day to celebrate geodiversity, and remember this year's theme, that Geodiversity Is For Everyone!

Day 3 of #ASRC & that's a wrap! I'm leaving having learned a lot, particularly about space weather + the Antarctic (didn't anticipate hearing so much of these, but I enjoyed thoroughly) + more. My heart is full feeling that the Aus space community is just that - a community 💖🚀

Day 2 #ASRC! Dr Carl Seubert of @SmartSatCRC, the 1st plenary today, has reminded us all of Australia's history of bold exploration to conduct ground-breaking science. Aus can and should continue this legacy! But we need the funding & jobs for fundamental sciences as well as R&D

Day 1 of #ASRC done! A year ago this was the 1st conference I went to in my PhD, so it's a privilege to attend again and reflect on the work I've done this last year and the connections I've made (many from ASRC). Looking forward to the next 2 days and more talks and connections!

The ACA's Prof. Martin Van Kranendonk led a trip of @NASA @esa @CSIRO & @AusSpaceAgency scientists and program leaders to the Pilbara, WA to see the oldest convincing evidence of life. These 2.7-3.5 billion year old stromatolite fossils help guide the search for life on Mars.
ARCHIVED – NASA Astrobiology@NASAAstrobio

Strap in – it’s time to meet your ancient ancestors! Fossilized microbial communities in Western Australia are helping scientists hone their skills for detecting potential ancient life on Mars. Join us on an expedition to see what our own backyard can teach us about the search for life elsewhere alongside members of @NASAMars, @ESA, @AusSpaceAgency, and @CSIRO.

Just submitted my PhD thesis today! It's honestly wild to think that I started this project 3.5 years ago... Thanks so much to everyone who has made this day a memorable experience! Excited to see what comes next 😁

1/2 @UNSW scientists Prof. Martin Van Kranendonk, Luke Steller (@steller_luke) & Clare Fletcher (@clarefletcher42) recently led a two-way learning initiative in the Pilbara region, WA, where the rock fossils hold the oldest evidence of life on Earth!
