Scientist, educator, concerned citizen. Isotopes and molecules are my thing. Come find me where the sky is 🫐 (she/her).
We are thrilled to announce the election of 120 members and 24 international members to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continued achievements in original research. Congratulations to our new #NASmembers and welcome to the Academy!
This year’s International Geobiology Course is off to heck of a start at the Frasassi Caves in Italy! We’re talking geochemistry, we’re talking karst, we’re talking microbial metabolisms and astrobiology @jmacalad @newmexicotech @NMT_EES @penn_state @kh_freeman @PSUEMS @GeoscPSU
⛏️The 2024 International #Geobiology Course, open to #PhD students, will take place June 16- July 21st @PSUGeoscience @AstrobiologyPsu📷Application deadline: Feb. 10 📷 Details at sites.google.com/psu.edu/igc-ps…
Live Now: #OSIRISREx delivers the US's first pristine asteroid sample after a 3.86 billion-mile journey. Watch landing live from @DeptOfDefense's Utah Test & Training Range. Use #AskNASA to send us your questions. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
. @NASA's #OSIRISREx just delivered samples to Earth and our experts including Kate Freeman and Chris House watched. These researchers are one of several groups gaining access to samples from the asteroid Bennu, which might hold clues about the origins of our solar system.
The watch party @kh_freeman continues, here with @JARNBRAK, celebratory coffee drink in hand, watching a helicopter lift the OSIRIS-REx sample capsule away from the landing zone to a clean room @AstrobiologyPsu @GeoscPSU @PSUEMS
WATCHING NOW: A capsule released from the #OSIRISREx spacecraft is scheduled to land in Utah this morning. It contains material from the asteroid #Bennu, and some of it will be analyzed @kh_freeman @GeoscPSU @PSUEMS @AstrobiologyPSU !!! nasa.gov/nasalive
We’re TEN days away from receiving the U.S.'s first asteroid sample, allowing us to study some of the oldest organics in our solar system! Catch up on OSIRIS-REx’s historic mission #ToBennuAndBack and see what’s in store for Sept. 24: go.nasa.gov/3raUOA1
It's the day we’ve been waiting for! Tomorrow, #OSIRISREx delivers asteroid samples to Earth, allowing scientists to study some of the oldest organics in the solar system. Watch LIVE on Sept. 24 at 9am ET: go.nasa.gov/45OwEKR Follow @NASASolarSystem for play-by-play updates!
We can confirm that the #OSIRISREx sample return capsule is not breached!
@not_rollergirl Coooooool!!
