Sleep tight, gn! Enjoy this artistic rendition inspired by the paper "Spectrophotometric evidence for a metal-bearing, carbonaceous, and pristine interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS" . Turns out that water, metals, and heat inside it may be cooking organics like a cosmic reactor. If this is true, our whole idea of planet formation needs an update!

Yes. This is fascinating and important work, but not evidence of aliens.

Excellent. Looking forward to reading it.

Not really. See, for example, nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

A fantastic piece of work and a must read! The Ni-rich jets are unexpected in comets. This one (3I/ATLAS) is breaking all the norms.

My microbe sci-fi story got featured in the @abgradcon special issue of @birdymagazine . This is my first time being published in print – so quite special! Do check out the online version (page 25) publizr.com/birdymagazine/ab… #astrobiology #scifi #microbes

A stunning gift from @abgradcon thank you so much @astrobiobuzz ❤️🧬✨️🌟 #astrochemistry #astrobiology @PMChemisphere

@abgradcon 2025 is over now & it's been a privilege to co-organise (as much as I can from Aus). This is my #1 fave conference cause it's so valuable for grads to have a space to learn from & with each other meet the friends/colleagues they will have for the rest of their career

The @abgradcon gang getting ready to kill it today!

Indeed, what joy!

So full of happiness right now. After so much time of knowing @strayologist, @cosmic_buterfly, and @astrobiobuzz online, we finally all met in person for the first time tonight at @abgradcon 🚀🚀🚀

Starting the discussion on "Non Academia Careers in Astrobiology Panel" at @abgradcon #AbGradCon2025

Co-leading @abgradcon in 2016 along with Jennika Greer when the conference took place in Colorado was one of the highlights of my time as a doctoral student. Now the meeting is once again taking place at @CUBoulder, and I am super stoked to be joining in for a panel to discuss careers outside of academia. So stoked to also finally meet up in real life with @strayologist, @astrobiobuzz, and Ilankuzhali Elavarasan, who have been part of my team @BlueMarbleSpace for some time.
