We advertise a funded PhD position (3.5 years) as part of our new Excellence Cluster "Future Forests" at @uni-freiburg.de. Great opportunity to work on forest microclimates and sensor networks in my group and with @mixedforests.bsky.social Apply by January 12, 2026: uni-freiburg.de/en/job/00004...

Just because the US government is shut down, it doesn't mean your voice is. Contact your representatives and tell them what NASA science means to you. Your voice will help to inspire the generations that come after us. Learn more here: www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc... @planetarysociety.bsky.social

NEW: It was a delight to contribute to @quantamagazine.bsky.social's stunning new series on climate science! Naturally, my story tended apocalyptic: will Earth ever become a climate hellhole like Venus, the most extreme world in the solar system? www.quantamagazine.org/why-is-venus...

Venus is a Solar System enigma. Although Venus is similar in size and distance from the Sun to Earth, it has evolved very differently from our planet. Our #Envision mission will aim to solve some of the puzzle by thoroughly studying our closest neighbour. www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭

The call for #session #proposals for the #EGU26 General Assembly is now open! Submit short course ideas and/or proposals for Union Symposia and Great Debates by 16 September 2025. 👉 Submit your proposals here: egu.eu/60GYS7

ASU SESE is hiring an Assistant Teaching Professor in Astrophysics: apply.interfolio.com/170951 🧑‍🏫 🔭

A university with its own wine, sounds like the place to be! @uni-freiburg.de

It has been an exciting few months with several publications out #OpenAccess! Curious about some of the latest #Venus science? Take a look: (1/4)

We are pleased to invite you to the Online School “Introduction to Geodynamic Modelling”. The event is organized by the COST Action EUROBIG and hosted by the Institute of Geological Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences. Registration is open until 15 July 2025: forms.gle/1fCQ72yYYqS2...

If you are interested in supporting NASA science and exploration, and saving it from capricious budget cuts, here's one thing you can do: sign this petition being sent to Senate and House members of their respective appropriations committees. Two days left to sign! www.planetary.org/advocacy-act...

We're going to learn some tough stuff today about the White House's proposed budget for fiscal year 2026—including what they have in mind for NASA. I'll share what I hear, but remember: CONGRESS decides how much money NASA gets, not the White House. So whatever happens today, the fight continues.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

Write and urge your Senators to co-sign Mark Kelly's letter supporting NASA science: planet.ly/senateletter Deadline is FRIDAY.

The study was posted today in Science Advances and was co-led by @unibe.ch researcher @planetaryanna.bsky.social and University of Maryland Baltimore County + NASA Goddard researcher Gael Cascioli. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Ein #unibern und #NASA Team zeigt, dass das Innere der #Venus nicht wie ursprünglich angenommen tektonisch «tot» ist. Viele der riesigen ringförmigen Strukturen auf der Venus weisen auf tektonische Prozesse unter der Oberfläche hin: mediarelations.unibe.ch/medienmittei... @planetaryanna.bsky.social

🔎🌌 A #unibern and #NASA team shows that the interior of #Venus is not tectonically "dead" as originally thought. ⭕ Many of the huge ring-shaped structures on Venus hint at #tectonic processes beneath the surface 👇: mediarelations.unibe.ch/media_releas... @planetaryanna.bsky.social

New paper: doi.org/10.1029/2024... ⚒️🔭🧪🌋🪐 "Coronae on Venus: An updated global database and insights into morphology, spatial distribution, geological setting, and lithospheric properties" presents a new, publicly available database of 740 corona structures on #Venus, much more than ever recorded!

It was such a pleasure to attend #LPSC25 last week and present my latest #Venus #science work, some originating from my time at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory; @caltechseismo.bsky.social. These presented studies will likely soon result in some exciting publications (stay tuned...)!

Next is Anna Gülcher @planetaryanna.bsky.social on Diverse Tectonic Processes at Coronae on Venus as Revealed by Joint Analysis of Modeled Topography and Gravity. #LPSCHaiku Plumes and coronae Gravity hides their true form VERITAS reveals. Abstract: www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lps... #LPSC2025

IT'S VENUS TIME BABY #LPSC2025

If you are concerned about the proposed 50% cut to #nasa's science budget, then write your representative in congress. The #planetarysociety provides on online form that will only take 2 minutes of your time: https://www.planetary.org/advocacy-action-center#/50

Hello space people, I'm looking for experts to comment on the NASA cuts from a US/European perspective, and what this will mean for science moving forwards. If that's you, do let me know. jdaoca[at]gmail[dot]com Thanks

#LPSC2025 pssst I hear the Venus session right now is really… special!

It’s so nice to be amongst friends and interesting science at #LPSC25 🌋🚀🛰️💕 Are you around and want to meet/chat? Come and talk to me!

⚒️ There are many reasons for wishing to be at #EGU24 in Vienna last week, but the biggest must be the award ceremony for my mentor Taras Gerya @eth-erdw.bsky.social (ETH Zurich 🧪) , who was awarded the August Love Medal from the Geodynamics Division @eurogeosciences.bsky.social 🔭 Congrats Taras!

Super excited to be in New Orleans for the VERITAS mission team meeting 🚀🌋✨VERITAS will answer key questions related to Earth’s and Venus’ different evolutionary paths - which is crucial for our understanding of rocky planets, including Earth 🌍 . Let’s go to Venus! ⚒️ 🔭 🧪 🪐

A sad day for planetary sciences and technology. If you have any friends or colleagues at NASA JPL - think about reaching out to show moral support! 🙏✨🚀 www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/jpl-wor...
