Excited for @teamprotoplanet to partner with @isro on HOPE
AbGradCon 2025 applications are open! Share around to any postgrads and postdocs you know who might want to apply! This year's theme is "Dark Skies, Bright Futures" and all astrobiology research is welcome 🚀☄️🪐🌌 abgradcon.org
Very excited to share that one calendar year from me arriving at the @TheMarsSociety's @MDRSupdates, my paper on the work I did there is out! Huge thanks to Crews 291 and 292 and to @marssocietyoz for all their help 🚀 doi.org/10.1016/j.pss.…
Rare opportunity for a geoconservation PhD, with the fab palaeo team at Birmingham and Natural England.
Rare opportunity for a geoconservation PhD, with the fab palaeo team at Birmingham and Natural England.
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…
Recently, I spent a month at @TheMarsSociety's @MDRSupdates research station. The 2 crews taught me a lot about research, living on Mars, myself, and my own work and how I could conduct it on Mars. I'm super grateful to have been supported by @TheMarsSociety and @marssocietyoz
Can't wait for this to be my home for 4 weeks, come Jan 20th!

🌍 #GeodiversityDay is not just about rocks and fossils, its also about the people who bring the stories of our planet to life. 💬 Be inspired by Aswatha🇮🇳, Sherene🇯🇲, Priscilla🇺🇸, and Clare🇦🇺 who share their passion in this @UNESCO article: unesco.org/en/articles/ma…
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😍

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.

Thanks for providing an opportunity for an aspiring astronaut to ask a current astronaut a question about the Aussie Space Sector! #QandA Not sure it seems possible to stay researching Mars in Aus, but I'm thrilled to see @astro_meganne repping Aussies in the astronaut corps 🚀

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!
This trip was a joy, and I learn so much every time I visit thr Pilbara! Big thanks to everyone involved and to @UNSWScience for the write up!
