Awesome opportunity to work with Roy Price and our team heading to Iceland for some exciting field work! !¡Check it out!

The long-awaited report from the second Mars Sample Return Independent Review Board is out and sheds light on the distinct challenges of what is one of the most ambitious endeavors in the history of robotic space exploration. 🚀 planetary.org/articles/the-f…

Inland waters like rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs act as highways carrying terrestrial carbon to the ocean—and releasing much of it as CO2 along the way. New #AGUPubs research quantifies how this process has evolved since the 1800s. eos.org/research-spotl…

Mineralogical Investigation of Mg-Sulfate at the Canaima Drill Site, Gale Crater, Mars doi.org/10.1029/2023JE… Mg-sulfate minerals like starkeite, identified on Mars for the first time here, indicate a transition to a drier climate.

We received our first piece of asteroid Bennu! Last week, Goddard’s Astrobiology Analytical Lab began searching the 4.5-billion-year-old rocks for amino acids. Finding these in the #OSIRISREx sample would add evidence that asteroids provided the building blocks of life to Earth.

How can a rock be a treasure box? When it's made up of smaller grains that were transported from places ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover will never be able to visit, offering insights into more areas of Mars. With #MarsSampleReturn, we could study these samples up close.

Got to see this live NASA's Kennedy Space Center Space Florida . Breathtaking! Safe trip to the crew!

Love working at this place NASA Goddard and appreciate the highlight!

Was this rock part of an ancient Martian beach? 🏖️ ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover’s 24th sample contains water-based minerals that are known to preserve signs of past life on Earth. Bringing the samples to Earth for study could tell us if life ever existed on Mars. go.nasa.gov/3PJGKXl

Colleagues, check out this special issue we are putting together for Minerals MDPI 👀 We have a great cast of world class scientists already contributing articles on the mineralogy and geochemistry of Mars! Reach out if you'd like the opportunity to contribute.

About last night… 👀 History made with 11,171 of the greatest fans in the entire country. Thank you for showing out Naptown 🫶 #UpTheBlues | 🔵⚪️

A lens cover on my SHERLOC instrument got stuck a while back, preventing me from collecting certain types of data that help me look for potential signs of ancient microbial life. But thanks to my ingenious team my instrument is operational again! go.nasa.gov/4eDeHDI

Excellent article by Robin Wordsworth explaining why returning samples from Mars will change how we see life on Earth. Let's bring them home!!! scientificamerican.com/article/mars-s…

Despite an eye-watering price tag, bringing pieces of Mars back to Earth promises to revolutionize our understanding of life’s place in the early solar system | Opinion trib.al/uaBwdyO

Beyond lucky to be doing what I love for a living and to be doing it for NASA Goddard ! Thanks for the feautre NASA Astrobiology: Exploring Life in the Universe

What's that they say about the meaning of life? Earlier this month, I drilled my 42nd rock sample. My samples are different than ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover's... Rather than collecting a core, I powderize rocks, then analyze the sample with onboard instruments.
