The day is coming when Iāll fall silent, ending my nearly four Earth years (over two Mars years) of studying the Red Planet. As my time winds down on Mars, my team is helping make sure scientists can get the most out of everything Iāve gathered.

ALT Photo from NASAās Insight lander on Mars shows a portion of the lander and one of its solar panels covered in a thin layer of dust. Part of the landerās robotic arm is visible at the top of the image. In the background, a dusty, rocky plain stretches to a flat horizon.

Fascinating ongoing research on early life imprinted in stone by @stonehistorian @ScienceUoA
Our first episode of Five Minutes with the School of Environment has just dropped on YouTube! We spent Five Minutes with Kathy Campbell @stonehistorian, an Earth Science Professor, hearing about her recent trip to Yellowstone National Park. Watch here: youtu.be/awgKa09eu7M

After a two year hiatus, we finally welcomed -in person- prospective students to the @AucklandUni @ScienceUoA open day. Nick Richards did a fantastic work for the @EnvUoA booth, and a big thank you to student and staff volunteers! It was so energising to talk to all.

Check out @soilsafe - you can get your soil screened as part of a cool university-community-CRI project. This is a great first step to deciding whether to grow back yard veges and chooks.

A perspective on some of the big questions we need to answer to advance #GreenHydrogen in Aotearoa being led by researchers at @UCNZ, @ScienceUoA @EnvUoA and KÄpa Morgan.

There's a lot of enthusiasm for #GreenHydrogen. We've written in the @ConversationEDU about some of the problems NZ might need to solve if it wants to get an H2 economy running at scale
