Word cloud of titles of papers. 2018 (left) vs. Today (right). So much of my scientific focus has changed and expanded in the last 7 years.

Our newest paper lead by piero d'incecco was published today about The Avengers Initiative. The paper investigates active volcanoes on Earth to use as analogs for investigating potentially active volcanoes on Venus and exoplanets.

What's more newsworthy: a NASA briefing about analysis of a Mars rock sampled by Perseverance, or that the briefing will include Sean Duffy, who has not participated in any NASA pressers since being named acting administrator 2 months ago? www.nasa.gov/news-release...

New Paper Published. I am incredibly proud of this one. I agreed to this review when I was the branch chief of research and thought I could get the paper done in about 6 months....then multiple job shifts happened and the paper was submitted just over a year and 6 months after I said yes. (1/4)

Took the day off work to spend with my daughter and ended up doing science kits all day. Crystal trees, gemstone soaps, and a dinosaur display (plants will grow in soon)
Bright colored trees with different colored crystals growing on them.Plastic case with 5 soaps shaped as gemstones. Blue, green, red, blue, and purple - clockwise from the far left.Dinosaur display with a small volcano in the center and a blue pond on the bottom right. The ground is currently dirt with plants expected to grow in.

New paper out today showing that the crustal thickness of Venus is likely constrained by metamorphism. Too thick and the crust either remelts or delaminates. 30 to 40 km works best with the models. 🧪⚒️🌋⛏️🛰🚀

Submitted. It's been a while since I've done that. But I submitted a first author paper today. It's an invited review that's about a year delayed. But it feels great to have it submitted. 15 coauthors, 14 figures, and about 50 pages single spaced. All about whether Venus has active volcanoes. 🌋 ⛏️⚒️🧪
