Last paper from The Leverhulme Trust project finally released into the wild!

👏 Congrats to Arola Moreras Marti for the first of two recently published papers from her UK Space Agency PhD research into Mars analogue environments Earth & Environmental Science, St Andrews University of St Andrews !

Aaaand here is the second Arola Moreras Marti paper! Quad S isotope biosignatures in two contrasting, S-rich Mars analogue environments @azerkle Mark Fox-Powell and Gordon Oz Osinski sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Job alert! Two origin of life postdocs working with the wonderful Eva Stueken 👇

Job alert! Want to work in STEM outreach and education at University of St Andrews? Passionate about earth and environmental sciences? See below 👇 Looking for an organised and creative person to lead and develop our GeoBus programme!

Closing date Friday! Still time to apply for this unique opportunity to coordinate GeoBus, working with the lovely folks at Earth & Environmental Science, St Andrews to support STEM education in schools and enthuse the next generation of earth & environmental scientists. DM for more info./informal chat.

Huge congratulations to S Motaghian for this much deserved award! 🙌

AND yet more congratulations to another amazing scientist Prof Sophie Nixon for her research award!👇

Whoop! Arola Moreras Marti presenting her awesome The Leverhulme Trust research on organic biomarkers in extreme Europa analogue salts at #LPSC2022

Aaaand Toni at #LPSC2022 presenting her UK Space Agency research on N cycling in Icelandic hot springs as analogue systems to early Mars! 🙌

Each year our 1st Year Astrobiology University of St Andrews students make a 1 minute science communication film on a topic of their choice. Congrats to Tori Wallauer for her winning film!

Congratulations to Arola Moreras Marti, finally able to celebrate Earth & Environmental Science, St Andrews PhD graduation University of St Andrews 2 years later!! Couldn’t be more proud. Been wonderful working together these past few years 🙌👏
