An X4.5 class #solarflare erupted yesterday, May 6, 2024, between 06:00 and 07:30 UT, making it one of the largest recorded this year! This explosive event was captured by the U.S. National Science Foundation GONG facility in Learmonth, Australia - check it out! #NSFfunded
“We anticipate that the robot can be used to carry out microinjection for genome-wide manipulation and cryopreservation at scale in a wide range of organisms.”👏
Check out this study on a microinjection robot: doi.org/10.1093/geneti…

#Swifties ! 🎤
An #NSFfunded researcher Virginia Tech named a new species of millipede, Nannaria swiftae, after singer @TaylorSwift13.
When asked about her newfound fame, the millipede claimed to be 'just a regular, small-town girl.'

New #NSFFunded study published in PLOS ONE explores the weight great fossil sites have on understanding evolutionary relationships between fossil groups and, for the first time, quantifies the power sites have on understanding evolutionary history: bit.ly/NHMLACPR0224 U.S. National Science Foundation
C-GEM was at the Golden Bear Welcome UC Berkeley today - lots of good questions about C-G science and how to get involved in research as a transfer student! #NSFfunded
Now OOI data can be 'heard.' Researchers are using data sonification to map quantitative data from its original form to audio signals to communicate complex information content for the visually impaired.

And that’s a wrap! Cosmology Day 2023 was a success! #NSFFunded
Here’s what we did with our largest group of visiting Cortland High School students yet:
Our project in Guatemala is going strong with 70 meters of core on deck so far - Jonathan Obrist-Farner is leading the team studying ecosystem response to climate and environmental change in the Lake Izabal Basin #NSFFunded
Our new #NSFFunded GC-IRMS is here USC Earth Science. DISHA BAIDYA is really happy to see data for the very first sample run and her first CSIA measurement.
🫨 After this morning's excitement... are you wondering what a 4.7 mag #earthquake looks like in the #deepsea ? This #shrimpquake video from a 2020 hydrothermal vent expedition with #ROVJason will give you a taste!
