ExMAG welcomes Yang Liu as the new Vice Chair. Yang is a research scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology.

Thanks so much to Philipp Heck for a wonderful tour this past weekend of my old stomping grounds Field Museum, and showing Scott Parazynski and me some space rocks — including some amazing chunks of the Moon and Mars! (That last picture of lunar meteorite fusion crust is my fav!)

NASA will seek proposals for quicker and cheaper ways to deliver the samples to Earth go.nature.com/4cYC6yr

Despite recent troubles for Mars Sample Return, here’s why the effort to deliver Martian rock samples to labs on Earth must go ahead. Via The Conversation theconversation.com/nasa-to-overha…

This week in DC: I enjoyed hearing fascinating perspectives on what Mars sample science and return can do for us: #solarsystemevolution #chronology #petrology #sedimentology #geophysics #cosmochemistry #astrobiology #originoflife #climate #volatiles #noblegases #cryosphere

📢 Job opportunity! Several PhD positions available at the Archaeology, Environmental Changes & Geo-Chemistry research group of the VUB on #ERC Consolidator Grant project FLUX to work with me on fossil micrometeorites ☄️ Deadline 07/06/202 Details on the European Association of Geochemistry job page.

#MembersNights2024 #FieldMuseum: Curious about our cosmic connections with #spacerocks? What do we have in common with #meteorites and asteroid #Bennu? Learn more from our awesome team tonight! #OSIRIS-REx #NASA #SpaceExploration #Meteoritics #Cosmochemistry 🛰️🚀✨

Full house during members night at the #FieldMuseum. Why #Bennu and how #meteorites help us understand our origins!

Tonight is another great opportunity to see the aurora much further south than usual! #aurora #chargedparticles

Wow, another video of the meteor/fireball in Portugal. Must have been incredible to see ☄️ x.com/MeteoTrasMontP…

OMG!! I think this has to be my favourite video of last nights meteor over Portugal/Spain 😍

Vienna, Wisconsin - not Austria! Meet Vienna, the new IVA iron meteorite found on Midwestern farmland. #spacerocks #meteorites #FieldMuseum meteorites.fieldmuseum.org/collection/vie…

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a brecciated meteorite! New analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite reveals that space rocks similar to this one may have supplied Earth with water billions of years ago. eos.org/articles/a-spl…
