It’s like I’m destined to give any Europa talk on a Th. at about 10:30 am this year. Got assigned the same day/time slot for my talks for LPSC (ML work) and AbSciCon (convection work). So please come by and take a listen. Also celebrate my birthday on Mon at LPSC!

Back from my social media hiatus! Busy trying to get all the codes to work and preparing for #AGU2025 #AGU25. Who else is going?

Love when you think your code broke, spend multiple days checking it over, and it wasn’t actually broken. My cat jumped in my keyboard and pressed an extra button apparently 😭

Before heading to the Clipper PSG, had to take a little detour to see Mt. St Helens. Also gotta love a window seat when coming to Oregon.

Also I do know the building used is expensive, but I’m still sad there’s no exception for someone already there. As a student I can’t afford that.

I want to go to the Progress in Understanding the Pluto System since I’m already at APL. But tell me why registration is $300, and yes they told me even though I’m already there I have to pay. :( I just want to attend since Pluto started my planetary career. 😢

That’s awesome! I would love to go this year, but I decided on EGU instead which I honestly should’ve gone with EPSC. :(

I think someone made a point about astromaterials not being as well represented at dps. I guess like those who do lab work with samples? I forget exactly what was said on the facebook group so don’t quote me.

That’s why I personally would probably prefer it. I like variety in cities. I don’t know about the extensive offers of student bursaries, but I may do EPSC next year instead of LPSC

Very true but at the rate of LPSC registration it may be the same price or cheaper. But yes we need a US based one.

Or hear me out we go to EPSC instead.

Sometimes I forget about my LinkedIn. I just realized I haven’t really updated it and boy it needed some work. Oops

Welp I haven’t used GMT in so long that I essentially forgot how to use it mostly. 😓

Excited to head to EGU this Friday. Come see my talk about what gravity can tell us about the nature of rifting on Venus! Wednesday morning!

Also excited to start my research on Europa’s ice shell convection with my amazing APL mentor,James, once I return for the summer.

Who’s that girl? Hey it’s me, making my debut into Venusian research with a talk on my crustal thickness models and what they are able to tell us about the nature of rifting on Venus. If you missed my talk it’s been recorded or you can come find me or witness it at EGU. #LPSC2025

#LPSC2025 Need a break from the conference? Let’s play some board games at 7 pm Wednesday night in the hotel lobby! Unwind and have fun! I’ll have a decent selection with games with and without a space theme. Let me know in the comments if interested.

Come one, come all to all of our Baylor planetary talks and posters on Tu. My talk will be on the nature of rifting on Venus revealed by gravity at 3:40 pm. If I don’t give you enough Venus content, we also have 2 Venus posters and even 2 Moon posters that evening by other fellow members. #LPSC2025
