Had a wonderful time at #AstroBio2023 Oxygen in Planetary Biospheres workshop Green Bank Observatory last weekend. Met lots of new people, presented my work, & talked so much science! 😁 #GOE #astrobiology PSUAstrobiology ARCHIVED – NASA Astrobiology Network for Life Detection (NfoLD) Geosciences Dept PSU PSETI Center College of EMS

#IGC2023

International Geobiology Course students measured strat sections at the Avacelli outcrop today! Black shales, cheers, and carbonates oh my! #IGC2023 Penn State College of EMS Geosciences Dept PSU New Mexico Tech NMT Earth & Environmental Sciences NMTBiology

Checking out some fossilized travertine in Italy with students on the International Geobiology Course! #igc2023

The travertine quarry at Acquasanta Terme had amazing laminations and textures 👀 Could have spent days there looking at everything! 😄 #igc2023

Calling all outreach enthusiasts Goldschmidt! Come join our free workshop tomorrow (Tues) afternoon - small group discussions on ideas, issues, & solutions in sci outreach & engagement 🤓 Featuring Aileen Doran ⚒️🔬👩‍🔬🌍 Dr Melanie Finch Sumit Chakraborty, @moleculargeochm

Some great talks going on by jaganmoy jodder, @MichelleGehrin6, & Prof Hiroshi Ohmoto (College of EMS Geosciences Dept PSU) in the 'Biogeochemical cycling in the Precambrian' session this afternoon! Goldschmidt

Today's plenary lecture Goldschmidt happening now! Phoebe Lam talking about marine particle geochemistry & biogeochemical cycles in the ocean 🤓

We want to hear from you! Join our Goldschmidt Workshop today to discuss issues, ideas, & solutions for more effective outreach in geoscience (6pm in room R10)!

Workshop rn Goldschmidt on increasing engagement in geoscience outreach, featuring Big Issue Guides melanie finch, Sumit Chakraborty, Aileen Doran ⚒️🔬👩‍🔬🌍, @moleculargeochm! @EAG_DEI

Check out Markus' poster this afternoon Goldschmidt; geochemical analyses on Paleoproterozoic rocks from Western Australia! Work done at UNSW Science, UNSW Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, & Universität Tübingen

Sneak peak of my poster Goldschmidt! Swing by #373 this afternoon for a closer look at some ~2.4 byo microbialites & their REE+Y patterns 👀

Analytical work done at Geosciences Dept PSU College of EMS, & field work done with Australian Centre for Astrobiology UNSW Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, supported by Australian Research Council CoE for Core to Crust Fluid Systems Macquarie University!

Keynote speaker Indrani Mukherjee from UNSW Science talking now about trace element archives in deep time Goldschmidt 🤓

Fantastic presentations to wrap up #IGC23! Some interesting data & cool findings 🤓 PSUAstrobiology Geosciences Dept PSU

New Microfossils Suggest An Earlier Rise In Complex Life On Earth astrobiology.com/2023/11/new-mi… #Astrobiology #evolution

Lovely find published in the journal Geobiology by our alumna Erica Barlow PSUAstrobiology @PSU_EMS with help from Max Wetherington in the PSU Materials Characterization Lab (MCL)

This Penn State Research discovery by Dr. Erica Barlow shows a leap in microfossils 2.4B years ago. It's the first direct link between environmental changes during the Great Oxidation Event and an increase in life complexity. buff.ly/3FTCZt0

I have an awesome honours project available for next year at University of Tasmania investigating 'Tasmanian Snowball Earth events and links to mineralisation'. Feel free to get in touch for more info or check out the description (and other available projects) here: utas.edu.au/natural-scienc…

Check out this funky QUARTETnary game about the geological timescale! Back them on Kickstarter now to receive a copy! 🚀🎆 #geologyrocks kickstarter.com/projects/irisv…
