We have several staff positions open in our Amy Instrumentation Facility. Check them out: chem.purdue.edu/facultyopening… #chemjobs

We are officially under pressure in the petrology suite!!! @PurdueEAPS

Practice makes permanent!! 💪🏻 Artemis analog tests are critical to the success of future crewed lunar exploration. This video has great footage depicting how the team of astronauts, scientists, and engineers is preparing for our return to the Moon! 🌖#WeAreGoing

For the first time since 1997, Brown Softball will be headed to the NCAA Tournament! The Bears go 3-0 with victories over Princeton (2x) and Columbia to win the 2025 Ivy Tournament Championship #EverTrue

Honored to play any role in this effort! I appear in tiny sprinkles throughout the full length video 🥰🌖 Let’s return to the Moon!!!

Join us for the next session of How to Become Part of the NASA Planetary Sample Science Community on Nov. 13. The session, Description of NASA’s PSEF program and the ARES National Facility for Astromaterials Research, includes a presentation and Q&A. ow.ly/rUs650Tx6Ia

We are accepting applications for the 2025 Summer Intern Program! This program provides students with an opportunity to perform cutting-edge research, learn from widely respected planetary scientists, and discover exciting careers in planetary science. ow.ly/tKBk50TwNAf

An international collab of scientists led by Marissa Tremblay, of @PurdueEAPS, determined the age of minerals in the Lafayette #meteorite and say it was formed when there was liquid water on #Mars. purduesci.com/4hFpuyT #thenextgiantleap

The department that tailgates together, wins together! @PurdueEAPS @LifeAtPurdue

AGC is planning to open for submission in January 2025! In order to plan our initial workload, please register your interest in submitting your work to AGC using this form: forms.gle/GHHmHioBdRSijP… note that registering interest is not a pre-requisite for submission.

We had a great week at #DPS56! I’m so proud of our research group and will note PhD student @KrisLaferriere is on the post doc market and undergrad student @Kyleshaquill_ will be applying to grad schools this year! 👀👀🪐🛰️😀 Thanks for hosting us, Boise!

Experimental Constraints on the Origin of the Lunar High-Ti Basalts. buff.ly/3XU7g3q High‐Ti lunar basalts can be produced experimentally by a simple melting process of a hybrid lunar cumulate mantle with nonmodal ilmenite/ clinopyroxene.

First semester on the tenure-track feeling a little like this. Soaking in the technicolor and preparing for the journey ahead. 🌈🌪️

urKREEP is a hypothetical component from the last dregs of lunar magma ocean crystallization but never found as a rock type. Ever wonder what it might be? with @charlier_b, @OlivierNamur, and coauthors, here is what we found in our new EPSL paper: 1/8 doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl…

In partnership with @JAXA_en, Japan will design, develop, and operate a pressurized rover for crewed and uncrewed exploration during the @NASAArtemis campaign, starting with the Artemis VII mission. 🌕 The pressurized rover will enable astronauts to travel farther and conduct science in geographically diverse areas by serving as a mobile habitat and laboratory for crew to live and work for extended periods of time.
