The Johnson Cloud Lab is very excited to welcome Giovanni as our newest graduate member ✨ He'll be working to unravel the mysteries of precipitation and surface wetting events on Titan with myself and a fabulous group of colleagues come Fall!

Our next expert speaker is Colin Hamill, PhD student at Purdue EAPS. He performs research in the CLOUD Lab and will discuss #exoplanet research at Purdue University. Please join us as we #UnfoldTheUniverse. Learn more: adobe.ly/3P4obKA #boilerup #jameswebb #thenextgiantleap

Tonight at 6 PM (Eastern) our very own Colin Hamill will be chatting about the Johnson Cloud Lab's efforts to understand clouds in exoplanet atmospheres as part of the Purdue Physics&Astro JWST First Light event. Join in virtually at the link below! ☁️☁️☁️express.adobe.com/page/gdzxu7vZ0…

At #ACSSpring2023? Want to learn how the Johnson Cloud Lab works towards understanding (exo)planetary atmospheres in the lab? Stop by Room 132 @ 3:55 pm today! ☁️🌍🌒🪐✨

Recent awardees of the U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP from Purdue EAPS are Santa Lucía Pérez Cortes (right), Lissete Melendez (middle), and Giovanni Bacon (left). Santa L. Pérez-Cortés and lisette melendez 🌈🪐 were awarded this year, and Giovanni was awarded 2022. We are so proud of our students! #boilerup

Many congratulations to Colin Hamill who passed his preliminary exam with flying colors and is now a Ph.D. Candidate! BRAVO 👏 We in the Johnson Cloud Lab never doubted your success and are so very proud of you!!

Purdue’s footprint on the #NASA SSERVI team selection is certain to produce our next giant leaps on the surface of the Moon. 4 professors from Purdue EAPS are chosen by NASA to conduct lunar research. #thenextgiantleap #boilerup Read about it here: ➡️bit.ly/3pE556Z

Been sitting on this news for a hot second, but as of today your girl is a **tenure track** Assistant Professor Purdue EAPS! Beyond excited to continue our exploration of clouds in planetary atmos & so very grateful for the support network that never stopped cheering me on.

Nitrogen is only ~3% of the atmosphere of Venus, but it holds clues to its past: the abundance can be explained only if there was a period of active tectonics, which lasted >1 Gyr before transitioning into the current stagnant lid. Matthew B. Weller et al.: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Simulations produced by a Brown-led research team suggest the scorching hot and barren planet Venus may have once had tectonic plate movements similar to those believed to have occurred on early Earth. brnw.ch/21wDTBd

An exciting new study led by DEEPS researchers explores the connection between Venus's current atmosphere and surface pressure, shedding light on ancient plate tectonics. Nature Astronomy @alexjayevans Dan Ibarra Alexandria Johnson

Scientists make the case that the Venus may have had plate tectonics making it more hospitable to life. Dr. Alexandria Johnson, of Purdue EAPS, is part of the research team discussed in this The New York Times article. Alexandria Johnson #thenextgiantleap bit.ly/3scUGjZ
