I was in geology depts from undergrad through my PhD, and they've given me an expansive sense of time and space as they operate in the natural world. These scales are completely different from our own lived experience, but are essential to understand if we're to exist long-term on this planet. 🧪

Ahhh so sad we missed this! Hope it went well!

Getting Mars samples back to Earth would be transformative; as an astrobiologist, it's absolutely a (the?) top priority.
Our work on the Measurement Definition Team - led by Brandi Carrier from NASA and Elliot Sefton-Nash from ESA - was a key first step. Now we just need to make it a reality!

Figuring out where hundreds of possible measurements fit across the spectrum of research value, time-sensitiveness, and destructiveness guided the thinking, which is now in final report form on Astrobiology! 👇

As you might imagine, things got complicated real quick - our team of geologists, geochemists, and microbiologists all had great ideas of the major scientific questions these sample might answer. We sifted through what may be the most complicated excel spreadsheet the world has ever known 😂

Congrats on the kiddo! But yes, we're also lagging far behind anything to do with farms and the process of going to bed... 😂
