We are rescheduling science trivia night. Stay tuned for the new date!

Way to go Eric!

We meet every other Monday for the paper discussions, and (pre-covid) include other activities and outreach: observatory viewings, fundraising for local schools, etc.

Montana State University was recently ranked among the top 100 public universities for research and development expenditures by the National Science Foundation (U.S. National Science Foundation). montana.edu/news/20953

We are happy to be presenting again with SPOT despite the challenges of the Covid pandemic. If you know of students or youth groups interested in space science, please check out the MT Space Grant Consortium below to inquire! spacegrant.montana.edu/spot/index.html

After flipping a rack with only the first few samples labeled and all others placed in order but blank, I thought becoming the top was a big improvement...

Our video contest is open! You want to present your work in an original way? And a chance for a free registration for the next Europlanet 🇪🇺's #EPSC2021? Then send us a 4min video presenting your research and it'll be part of a dedicated session! youtu.be/MVyyWBkvvEE

[GetToKnow] This month we feature the profile of EPEC member Julie Nováková. Read the stellar Life Beyond Us!. Julie is an astrobiologist at Charles University, she is very involved in outreach, and she also writes science fiction! Don't miss her story: europlanet-society.org/epec-profiles-…

For early career #astrobiology people! The AbGradCon 2021 abstract submission deadline has been extended to April 15th. The conference will be held virtually from Sept 14th - 17th. Apply today! abgradcon.org/application

This week we are going to relate biological activity with the formation of minerals! Bacteria that precipitate minerals are a good target for astrobiological research, as these minerals can be studied with the aim of detecting biosignatures outside Earth.

splasho.com/upgoer5/ Today we used this browser tool to try explaining our science research with only the 1,000 most used English words. Without "energy" or even "machines" it was a little tough, but I think I was able to share iron-sulfur clusters well enough. Try it out!

I just taught my last chemistry lab section of my grad career. :'( The students that stick it out always end up being so kind at the final experiment.

Moderna vaccines expire in 30 minutes near UHP at Montana State. You can come by to get one.

When you suffer from a disability or disorder, it can be particularly easy to refuse or avoid help. But nothing has been more helpful for me than the care from my lab group. Its distressing to know so many don't have that kind of support in academia. I hope we can change it.

Microbiology and CBN students, stop by the tent on 11th and grab your gift. Congratulations!

Just put a few new paintings rcsb pdb 💉🧬💻🔬💊🌱🧠🦠: myoglobin packed into a whale muscle cell and a rework of the extracellular matrix painting from my book (both for the PDB50 celebration), and a red blood cell membrane and cytoskeleton. They're available at: pdb101.rcsb.org/sci-art/goodse…
