A Doctor Who episode where the companion is a NASA scientist that wants to sample Lake Jezero during the Noachian. They go to the present and Mars is populated with life because she accidentally contaminated it. #DoctorWho #NASA #Jezero

I am still boycotting Eurovision, but Australia should send Sam Reid as The Vampire Lestat next year. #InterviewWithTheVampire #TheVampireLestat

Jezero Crater, Mars, seen on 27 July 2026. There is nothing—and I emphasise nothing—we humans could do to Earth that would make it less hospitable than Mars. So should we send astronauts there? Yes! Absolutely! But we will never colonise Mars, nor should we.

I think this means the lab missed me.

Text at the top of the image says, "Organic Geochemistry PhD Students". Below the text are five people outdoors, standing in a strange position with arms out and downwards. The person in the center is a poorly photoshopped head of the author with a stick figure body.

Now would be a great time to reconsider that 46% cut to NASA’s science budget for FY2027.

There is a 20 km high cliff on Uranus' moon, Miranda. Because of the low gravity, if you jumped off it, it would take 12 minutes to reach the bottom. Image credit: JPL/NASA

Hey man, are you a region of enhanced potassium, phosphorous and rare earth elements on the Moon? Because you're a bit of a KREEP.

Megafloods and ice streams create similar landform expressions - did either create Martian outflow channels? Anna Grau Galofre's team is asking this question. #EPSCDPS2025

Noémie Carlot presented an absolutely stunning map of Eberswalde delta fan, Mars. Look at all those lobes showing channel migration! The river sediments were more resistant to erosion than the surrounding layers, creating intricate inverted channels. #EPSCDPS2025 #Mars doi.org/10.5194/epsc...

A greyscale delta on Mars. Colours are used to highlight inverted channels and delta lobes by relative age, blue being the oldest, pink the youngest.

Dragonfly Science Goals paraphrased fr Barnes et al. 2021: How far has probiotic chemistry progressed on Titan? What role do the deserts play in the methane cycle? What are the transport mechanisms? Where and how has liquid H2O been in contact with organics? IS THERE LIFE ON TITAN? #EPSCDPS2025

NASA reviews are conducted using Dual Anonymous Peer Review, meaning you don't need to depend on name-recognition when submitting grant proposals. You may need to be at a US-based institution, though. #EPSCDPS2025

Does Callisto have an undifferentiated ice shell? If so, it might behave like salt tectonics(!) on Earth, or ice tectonics on Ceres. #EPSCDPS2025
