Happy Halloween! Nothing is spookier than the underrepresentation and undervaluation of women and marginalised groups in STEM, and my Springer Nature World View for Nature Astronomy has just been published on the matter: rdcu.be/dpQgN


Excited to be at #AbSciCon24 representing team icy worlds from AstrobiologyOU! If you're here, come and say hi :) We have a poster on Thurs and talks on Fri! I'll highlight these in follow up posts



It's Friday but #AbSciCon24 is not over yet! Drop by the Chemical Cycling at Ocean Worlds session (today at 10:00) to see Lewis Sym from AstrobiologyOU talk about his PhD work on how #Europa's ocean composition could have changed over time ππΎπ


Excited to be at #BPSCLeicester with the Faculty of STEM, The Open University and AstrobiologyOU crew! We have a few icy worlds presentations. First up! Rachael talking about the surprising world of cryovolcanic chemistry- this afternoon, Abbey Room βοΈππ§π§ Come and join if you're here!


And next up at #BPSCLeicester from Faculty of STEM, The Open University AstrobiologyOU team icy worlds.... πβοΈπ§π§ Jessie Hogan is presenting her PhD work using a wind tunnel to study ice grains in the plumes of #Enceladus..drop by poster 54!



Day 2 of #BPSCLeicester! Today we have a double helping of Europa from OU team icy worlds: Alvaro del Moral and Lewis Sym from AstrobiologyOU Faculty of STEM, The Open University talking in the Outer Planet Moons session about Europa ocean chemistry and biosignatures. Come and join!




βοΈπ§New paper alert!! π§βοΈ Led by Arola Moreras Marti, we explore how molecular biosignatures are accumulated, transported and transformed by sub-zero brines and salts in the Arctic. It was a pleasure to work on this with such a great international team! #astrobiology #arctic


Itβs truly been my favourite PhD side quest so far working behind the scenes on this with AstrobiologyOU
