Matthias M.M. Meier is a young cosmochemist / meteoriticist currently working as a Swiss National Science Foundation Ambizione Fellow at ETH Zurich. His research interests are very wide in scope and i
When I first arrived bright-eyed (well actually super sleepy) early Monday morning, I still had no idea exactly what this week would be like. That first day all seems like one strange chaotic dream
Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997 Proteins form the machinery of life: they catalyze the chemical reactions that allow organisms to gain energy and reproduce. A study presented at the 2015 Goldschmidt conferen
Janne Blichert-Toft’s plenary talk Tuesday lunchtime gave us an overview of what could be achieved with Pb isotopes with what she termed “Neo -plumbotectonics”. In her 45 minute talk she took us from
Tuesday afternoon saw the Mars community come together for some reminiscing and new findings! The keynote talk by Allan Treiman was a fantastic "greyhead review" of past and more recent advancements
Yesterday in Terrace 1 was an absolute delight. I sat there for most of the day listening to some fantastic biogeochemistry. From weathering of rock to soil and sediment, to the profound influence
