Next week, on Tuesday, October 8th, I’ll be presenting a Seminar to USGS about radiometric dating of chondritic material. If you can’t make it to that date, I’ll be presenting the same Seminar on Wednesday, November 13th at Stanford. Please stop on by! Details below: Title: The first 20 million years: Using geochronology of chondrites … More Back to Back Seminars on Chondrites
I had the great pleasure of spending a day with Adam Savage to geek out about meteorites! Check out my appearance on this week’s episode of Savage Builds : Forging Excalibur, where Adam attempts to forge a sword out of an iron meteorite. Air date: Friday, July 5th on Discovery, @10pm PDT Savage Builds – … More Savage Builds – I’m on TV!
After a wonderful 4 years as a postdoc at the Space Sciences Lab, it is time for me to move on. I am proud to say that I have accepted a Research Scientist position at Stanford University’s SHRIMP-RG lab in the Geological Sciences Department, beginning July 1st. My new role will entail working with Stanford … More Goodbye Berkeley SSL, Hello Stanford SHRIMP-RG Lab!

E-poster for the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference is now uploaded, and can be accessed online at: Click to access 2649.pdf Stop by my poster on Thursday night if you’d like to chat about comet dust, oxygen isotopes, or anything Cosmochemistry related!
Our consortium on Stardust material has published a new article about primitive fine-grained materials found in comet dust. The paper, titled “Fine-grained material associated with a large sulfide returned from Comet 81P/Wild 2” (primary author Zack Gainsforth), takes a look at a large particle called Andromeda, and how it shielded this delicate material upon aerogel … More New Paper on Stardust fine grained material
Thanks to everyone who came out to the CIPS Seminar last week! If you missed it, or have any questions, feel free to contact me for more info.
I’ll be traveling down to UC Santa Cruz on Nov. 27th to give a colloquim talk on oxygen isotopes in the early Solar System. For anyone looking to check it out, the seminar begins at 3:30 pm, in Nat. Sci. Annex room 101. The title of my talk is: Oxygen isotopes in the early Solar … More UCSC Whole Earth Seminar, Nov. 27th
Check out our e-poster that was presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference last week: Chemical, mineralogical, and isotopic characterization of terminal particles from Stardust tracks. We investigated seven tracks returned from the Stardust mission, and investigated the small comet particles using a wide variety of techniques. We found many sulfide grains, as well … More Characterization of terminal particles from Stardust
