New paper alert!
tl;dr: parts of what we thought were the oldest rocks on Venus might in fact be among the youngest.
This story involves the "tessera" on Venus, which is some of the weirdest stuff in the Solar System.

We're hiring a software developer! Help bring the next generation of coding practices and tools to the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute, and work with my team in sunny SoCal!
Applications are due July 6th, please let me know if you have any questions!

I am here at Glastonbury Abby to talk on BBC Radio 3 about the Solstice 🌅 you can join around 9:20 when the North Pole is pointed the most towards the sun. As well as hearing some fun facts about the solstice on other planets. #science #solstice
😲 Up is down, war is peace, and the ice giants are now magma ocean worlds! 😉 But wow, that would be very interesting! 🪐
The land carbon cycle, and its fate in a warming world is clearly one of the big "known unknowns" in our climate future. It is particularly crucial to know what happens to the land carbon budget after we achieve net zero. All that carbon we have stocked so far is very vulnerable, being present
Hello! We have a very-off-cycle postdoc fellowship at UC Santa Cruz. Open to any area of Astronomy and Astrophysics. Applications are due July 15th. It is funded by the Moore Foundation. Looking for someone to start Oct 1, 2026 (!, approx), see details below.

Got my nails done for all my trans friends and for all those feel unseen or too seen right now. Love you all, just be you! #pridemonth #transally
Feels like a lot of STEM guys believed coding was the hardest thing a human could do, and assumed that once somebody invented an AI that can code, it would follow naturally that the AI can do all of the lesser non-coding things that other dumber people were doing
