My pandemic paper is finally published: "The high-frequency tidal response of Ocean Worlds" doi.org/10.1029/2021JE… I don't honestly know how I was able to put this together over the last two years given everything that has happened. It was no easy task.

Packing is hard.

Got a new high score on Tetris

as we continue to advocate for virtual options to continue in future for myriad reasons, we should also remember that “travel” grants for virtual attendees are really important and helpful for internet connectivity, headphones, recording equipment, daycare, & more!

I'm excited to start the next stage of my research in the FoaLab at Oxford Earth Sciences after a wonderful 2 years at NASA JPL! I'll be working on tides in moons and planets with liquid-filled porous regions, and what that means for their evolution. If you're nearby, come say hi!

WOW! Congrats NASA's Juno Mission on incredible new flyby images! I'll note that I blew out the channels here and de-yellowed things to make Europa look more familiar (for me at least). FANTASTIC!!! Can't wait to see what fantastic insight comes from this! 🐳🛰️

You can now pre-order a book I contributed to!!! I wrote about seeing the geology of my dreams while contending with being #DisabledInSTEM for the first time. Use coupon code CUP20 to get 20% if you order directly here! cup.columbia.edu/book/uncharted…

In new work led by Hamish Hay, we find that circulation in Europa's ocean might drag along the overlying ice shell, allowing it to rotate faster than the interior. Such rotation could explain the observed surface patterns of ridges and cracks. #PI_Daily space.com/jupiter-moon-e…

A new special issue of Elements is out, and it's all about #TeamIo!!!! I led the chapter about future exploration of Io, using everything from ground-based observatories to dedicated spacecraft. Check it out! 🌋🚀🌖

David Trang—Performed a survey of depression, anxiety, and stress in the planetary science community. Results are 🔥BAD🔥. Moderate/severe anxiety and depression observed in 40~50% of graduate students and postdocs (compared to 6% of general population). #LPSC2023

#PlanetaryScience PhD position available in the Department of Earth Sciences at Oxford University! Come join Richard Katz's FoaLab and work on modelling tidal dynamics of planetary bodies. Only available to UK-home students, I'm afraid.

We have a spacecraft! The NASA Europa Clipper avionics and propulsion modules are now united into one beautiful spacecraft that will fly to Europa! 🚀 🛰️ 💫💧 #PI_Daily

So great to grab lunch and catch up with Hamish Hay at Oxford!!! 🥰😃 Fun to get to see grad school friends - even after we’ve dispersed all over the world!

An Al Jazeera digital investigation verified that Israeli forces targeted a convoy in Gaza that was following the secure path suggested by an Israeli army spokesperson.

Enceladus’s jet activity along its tiger stripes could be driven by strike-slip motion similar to what’s seen at the San Andreas Fault. eos.org/articles/strik…
