Happy birthday to Mae Jemison, born on this day in 1956! In 1992, she became the first woman of color to fly in space, as the science mission specialist on a joint U.S.-Japan mission aboard the space shuttle Endeavor. She led experiments on bone density loss in zero gravity. Photo: NASA

Excited to finally see my paper out on how ice-sediment processes shape deposits in perennially ice-covered lakes (PICLs), with implications for interpreting past climates on Earth and Mars! This one has been brining for a while 🥒 🧊❄️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

What an honor and privilege to have talked with Star Trek's Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher of The Next Generation), discussing my background, the Europa Clipper mission, and the relevance of planetary science exploration. Enjoy! #EuropaClipper #JPL #StarTrekTNG #TNG youtu.be/nuuj_OaJTf4?...
