On Sunday, I had the immense honor of participating in the doctoral hooding ceremony of Dr. @riley_mcglasson! We’ve had so many fun science adventures together over the last four years, and I know this is only just the start of amazing things we’ll continue to see from her!

New evidence suggests the dwarf planet Ceres was a muddy ocean world that froze over time. “Ceres just gets cooler the more we look at it.” https://t.co/Q4tIGjDDOO

Is there a frozen ocean world near Earth? @LifeAtPurdue & @NASAJPL research suggests there is. Our largest asteroid was considered a dry environment, but @mikesori1 & @ianpamerleau of @PurdueEAPS find it could be 90% covered in murky ice. https://t.co/ogqvoSHPu1

Check out this Nature News and Views article that I wrote with Andrew Dombard, titled "Unrelaxed craters muddy the waters of the dwarf planet Ceres" https://t.co/JnxTBTNBh2 I really enjoyed writing a summary of this great paper by @ianpamerleau @mikesori1 & Scully.

Nature Astronomy - Ceres’s surface is ice-rich and warm, so we expect craters to viscously flow. Yet most of Ceres’s craters are not shallow. A new model that includes a stronger,...

Check out @ianpamerleau's work on Ceres in @NatureAstronomy! We think the evidence from @NASA_Dawn –including the cratered surface– is telling us that Ceres is a very icy world, probably resulting from an ancient, dirty or muddy ocean that has since (mostly?) frozen. @PurdueEAPS
For Ceres, an ice-rich crust containing more silicates with depth agrees with crater relaxation, morphology, and gravity inversions. This structure has a higher ice content than previously expected and could form from a relic ocean. @ianpamerleau et al.: https://t.co/XBAvUqE1VI

So proud of my @PurdueEAPS research team – big congrats to Mariana Blanco-Rojas and Brianne Checketts for winning the LPSC Dwornik awards for best graduate and undergraduate talks for their talks on Uranus moons and Mars! How lucky am I to get to work with such great students?
