Thanks for following along with my team through this account! This page will be archived, but you can continue learning about science and exploration from the NASA Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute here: sservi.nasa.gov

Happy Monday!!!! Jessica Marquez, @NASA Engineer, shares how Internships are great for testing the waters with different careers. You'll get a feel for whether or not a career is right for you.

Hawaii is a great place to: ✅ Relax 🌴 ✅ Unwind 🍹 ✅ Prepare for a mission to Mars 👩‍🚀 On Hawaii’s lava fields 🌋, we tested new technologies and methods future astronauts might one day use to explore the Red Planet and other deep space destinations: go.nasa.gov/2TnrsHz

A must read!

From myself, my team, and all of us here at @westernuCPSX - very excited for your successful launch @Astro_DavidS and looking forward to sharing your discoveries from the #ISS over the coming months #CdnSpace #SpaceMatters #Daretoexplore #explore @csa_asc @WesternU

So proud of Dr. Jessica Marquez! Inspiring Us All to be our very best. She's paying it forward. This Latina NASA Engineer Shares How Community Helps When Pursuing A STEM Career via @forbes #41b73537265f" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">forbes.com/sites/viviannu…

Hey look - it's our team leader @marsgirl - shout outs to @SpaceCampUSA for inspiration! @NASAAmes @NASA_Lunar @SpaceCampHOF nasa.gov/content/interv…

Calling all undergraduate aerospace women! The @owensfellowship is an awesome opportunity, could be life-changing & career-launching. Connecting women with internships and mentorships around the entire USA! Apply now: brookeowensfellowship.org/apply/

Even after years of experiments with @SyracuseLava, I still never tire of the orange glow of fresh lava.

@JimBridenstine @NASA We need a “path finding” rover mission to the poles - resource prospector would be good for this and some of the commercial companies have rovers that could carry that payload. This would be in line with what @george_sowers Lunar Mining wksp report stated.

Well done @IAC2018 ! 👍👍

Former NASA Admin @cboldenjr advocates getting to the surfaces of the Moon and Mars to do in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) & prove it works. #AiaaSpace

"Dear 2nd Graders, Your teacher asked me to speak about what girls do on our ship, adding that you all thought only boys could be engineers and that made me a little sad." Read the letter from Nautilus SciComm Fellow Jenny Woodman @ProteusSciComm: proteusscicomm.org/2018/09/01/oce…

The final dive of the @SUBSEA_research expedition is happening now! Start your week off with some science at sea, as researchers explore underwater lava flows near Hawaii's Big Island. NautilusLive.org

Bit behind (as always), but wanted to post another link to a touching story that @JennyWoodman, a Science Communications Fellow on the @EVNautilus wrote a few days ago. Have a read...and have a kleenex handy. proteusscicomm.org/2018/09/01/oce…

Most of this water ice on the Moon lies in the shadows of craters near the poles, where the warmest temperatures never reach above -250°F. With enough ice at the surface, water would possibly be accessible as a resource for future expeditions to explore and even stay on the Moon.

There is ice on the Moon! Researchers have found direct evidence of water ice located in the darkest and coldest parts of the Moon’s polar regions. The ice deposits were detected by a NASA instrument aboard @ISRO’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/2nZVunP

Meet Tom Grubb, Product Development Lead for augmented and virtual reality at @NASAGoddard. Grubb is developing software that utilizes AR & VR as an intuitive way to help scientists and engineers train for NASA missions. More about this work, visit: go.nasa.gov/2OCb8Sq

Students are lucky to have professors such as @SENawotniak ! 👍 Honored to work with her on NASA research as well.

We are all in, United, bi-partisan, and focused on the horizon goal-Humans to Mars! It was my honor to testify w @AstroPeggy @tonybruno @exploremars. Thank you for your leadership @SenBillNelson, @SenTedCruz @SenMarkey and @SenGaryPeters! commerce.senate.gov/public/index.c… ☄️🌎
