"Explore as one." This is the most important step of the humankind towards our journey beyond this planet. Congrats to @BosakLab @eapsMIT that are involved in this incredible project in search for life in our universe.
Black lives matter in science and everywhere. #ShutDownSTEM should not be a single day where science turns attention to the black community as a trend. We need to recognize and accept that the system is broken and take action towards changing it. Powerful words below.

Highly recommend that you watch this film - Picture a Scientist - on the importance of women and diversity in science. Imagine what we could achieve if there were equality and equal representation of all people in STEM #womeninscience #diversityinSTEM pictureascientist.com/
So many reasons to drop the GRE requirement. This is an incredibly eye-opening read, highlighting the additional biases introduced especially against already underprivileged students, which has no equivalence to a student's scientific potential or excellence #geoGRExit @eapsMIT
So last night I sat down to see about taking the General GRE and Physics GRE, a process that many prospective grad students will have to tackle in the coming months. Here's what I learned...

Overwhelmingly proud of our Kelsey Moore who not only was the first @eapsMIT student to defend remotely, but presented with such grace, poise, & brilliance. It was a proud moment for all 100+ of us watching & we will miss the gift of having you in lab. Congratulations, Dr. Moore!

Exciting to see the #geobiology community come together and make this year's Gordon Research Conference the most attended yet! Loads of engaging with & learning from everyone this week. And proud of our own Kelsey Moore, @Skoogbacter, & James Hall for presenting their hard work!

View of the Gulf of Alaska from the #Ocean Color satellite, vs. view of the Gulf of Alaska from microscope (by @ca_durkin). Exactly this combo is what makes @NASA and @NSF_GEO #EXPORTS a powerhouse allowing for better prediction of oceanic carbon flow. oceanexports.org/
