In this episode of 𝘙𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘑𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴, I got to interview Professor Roger Fu from Harvard's Earth and Planetary Sciences department! We talk about planet formation in our early solar system, history of our climate, and science funding in Boston. Available everywhere! linktr.ee/RocksForJocks

New podcast released this week with a Harvard professor discussing his research — “Rocks for Jocks” available everywhere! Link to all channels in bio 🧪🪨🔭

This week, I got to interview Professor Roger Fu from Harvard's Earth and Planetary Sciences department. We cover planet formation in our early solar system, harvesting samples from meteorites, tectonic plate motion, paleoclimate research, and science funding in Boston! linktr.ee/RocksForJocks

I try not to play favorites with my guests but the episode I'm currently editing has got to be one of my favorites so far — we talk about planetary formation in our early solar system, climate change, science funding, historical earthquakes, how different cultures study #Astronomy, and more!

100 Hour livestream from weather scientists about research at risk due to proposed US budget cuts. Really cool stuff, and shows why it’s important we keep funding it! 🧪🔬🌧️⚡️🌡️ www.youtube.com/live/CcWR6Cd...

Warming of +1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels is too high for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, and even the current climate forcing of +1.2 °C is likely to lead to several meters of sea-level rise, according to a study in Communications Earth & Environment. 🧪

I host David Zabner, 4th year PhD Candidate at Tufts University, to tell me all about his research — improving Computer Science education! David tells me about his background and projects he’s done to improve education at different levels, comparing Comp Sci to learning a second language. 🧪💻📚

This week I host Amanda Calhoun, PhD candidate at Harvard! Amanda uses carbon isotopes to uncover signs of ancient life, and also uses pyrite (fool’s gold!) to understand Earth’s oxygen history. Listen to learn the history of both our atmosphere and life itself! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Massachusetts #Space week at my local library today! Free books, stickers, posters, and an expert panel!

New video drop about #NOAA most recent sea level rise report! Understanding how our climate is changing is funded by, and important to, many of our federal agencies (NOAA, NASA, FEMA, DoD, EPA, and others). Check out this video to learn more! youtu.be/kTkGIxV3n-c

Working on some videos right now about why and how US agencies track Sea Level Rise. It takes experts from a LOT of different agencies to ambitious projects like this (NOAA, EPA, Department of Defense, etc.) Really cool explanations here! sealevel.globalchange.gov/about/shared...

Great article (and video) about Santorini's underwater volcano! I love all Geohazards work like this 🧪 🌋 www.bbc.com/news/article...

For anyone wondering why researchers bother studying fringe niches which don’t directly impact humans: 1. By learning about something complicated, we may accidentally discover something great! * Example: CAT Scans were created as a result of NASA taking pictures in #space

Love learning about any new #research topic. Every time I get to hear from someone pushing the frontiers of what humans know, I feel like I'm having a great day

#Harvard museum of Natural History has some really cool bird photos I saw this morning! Lots more content coming from me about Harvard this week. Really appreciate them this week standing up for what’s right, even if they lose money. Happy to highlight some of the great work they do!

🧪 please ask me any questions about this. I am so thrilled that I get to channel my want-to-help energy into something so organized!
