It was a pleasure to meet some members of @oolen.bsky.social yesterday in Vienna!

Long ago in the Hadean, when the Earth was young, its surface layer we inhabit (the crust) was formed. It might be that the formation of that initial crust was just part of planetary mass differentiation and stratification. 🧪⚒️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Q&A @antiprotony.bsky.social just confirmed that he smashed a part of an asteroid to prepare the substrate!

Just announced #MVIF 37 on Microbiomes in Extreme Environments! Don't miss this special event w/our guests 🇩🇪 Nicole Dublier 🇳🇱 Henk Bolhuis 🇺🇸 Rachael Morgan-Kiss 🇺🇸 Kasthuri Venkateswaran 🇮🇹 Fabiana Canini 🇺🇸 Diana Ayala-Muñoz 🇮🇹 Luca Tonietti cassyni.com/s/mvif-37

Thallium isotopes are an interesting proxy for ocean oxygenation, and it has an interesting partitioning mechanism related to Mn oxides. But it never got very popular. For my personal preference, it's nice to see it works in carbonates... sort of. 🧪⚒️🌊 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

An ancient gummy-looking worm-like creature that hunts by projecting sticky goo from its head has been crowned New Zealand’s bug of the year. 🧪🐛 Peripatoides novaezealandiae, or Ngāokeoke in Te Reo Māori, have rows of pudgy legs & skin speckled like a galaxy. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

#OverheardAtCarnegie: “You need biologists. Astrobiology without the bio is just astrology.”

A vast, monochrome world unfolds around you, snow stretching endlessly, broken only by the dark silhouettes of scattered rocks. No colors, no warmth, just the stark contrast of black and white. It feels like standing inside the static of an old TV, where reality fades into a silent, grayscale void.

Just back home after five hardcore days at the Planetary Science Congress 2025 in Pescara, Italy. Was completely insane. The best way to celebrate my new postdoctoral position! #astrobiology #microbiology #astrobiogeochemistry #spacebiology #isru

Have you ever dreamed of playing a retro video game themed on the origin of life and astrobiology? If yes, I just made the perfect game for you! Let me know your score and let's see if you can create life on your planet! 🧪 www.lucatonietti.com/origin-of-li... #astrobiology

🏺🧪 This is sad news...

Jamais dans l’histoire un volcan n’avait aussi bien été filmé 😍 #Sundhnjúkagígar #islande

The ocean takes up anthropogenic CO₂ emissions, 26% on average over the past decade. The #GlobalCarbonBudget 2024 confirms that the ocean sink increased in 2023 after 3 years of stagnation due to rare triple La Niña event. 2023 was an El Niño year, with an expected increase in the sink. 🔽 🌊 1/10

Mud volcanoes remind me something like Prehistoric landscapes. #extremeenvironments #astrobiology #microbiology #astrobiogeochemistry
