Recently published research📃from @UCF and collaborators may get us closer to terraforming Mars!
Scientists used atmospheric modeling and found that creating nanoparticles from Martian dust could raise the temperature and help make Mars habitable:

An interesting take on what E.T. could look like. Manasvi, Seth and I all give our thoughts. Fun article!

Attention this is not a drill: the American Astronomy Decadal #Astro2020 will be announced on the 4th of November.
If you need a refresh on why #Astro2020 will be crucial for the next decades (yes, plural) of astronomy, in the US but also in general, read scientificamerican.com/artic…

Also looking for postdoc that models the atmospheres of potentially habitable (solar system) planets and exoplanets! Must know FORTRAN, MATLAB, or Python. Give me a holler if that's you or if you know someone! TY!

Congrats @SGuzewich. Yes, volcanism is key and why we've argued (since 2014) that's how early Mars was warmer and wetter:

We also agree that earlier (flatter) topography is conducive to more rainfall
