Excited to note that I am part of a paper coming out in Science on diagenesis in the Murray formation, Gale crater.
Excited to report that I have been elected a Fellow of the Geological Society (London), geology’s oldest dedicated learned society.
After surviving the pandemic unscathed and recovering from vaccinations for SARS CoV-2, we are all returning to the office and lab. While we are not yet back to full throttle, all labs are open. See here for COVID-19 information at UTK: https://www.utk.edu/coronavirus/
