This week is already an excellent week because it has not involved a grant rejection, paper rejection, or stolen laptop (most of which had happened by this time last week!)

Yesterday the brilliant Maeve Murphy Quinlan expertly defended her PhD on computational and petrological modelling of the pallasite parent body. Maeve has done great work and its been a pleasure working with her :) Big thanks to James Bryson and Phil Livermore for examining!

I have managed to write a model of Mercury's evolution that seems to simulate the planet in real time. Anyway, today the eternal code finally finished and gave results that could be considered plausible. I will not touch it again!

My first post! Hi all - I'm a deep Earth geophysicist interested in the dynamics and evolution of planetary cores and mantles. I'm a Prof at University of Leeds and I'm looking forward to re-finding what has been lost from the other place :)
