 Congrats to Annika Bruske of the University of Hanover for leading this great paper published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, titled 'Correlated molybdenum and uranium isotope signatures in modern anoxic sediments: Implications for their use as a paleo-redox proxy,' with new data from two classic euxinic basins!

I have had a fun Fall semester. In addition to attending GSA to receive the Doris M. Curtis Outstanding Woman in Science Award (photos below), I gave department seminars at Penn State and the University of Toronto, where I got to catch up with friends and colleagues from my time as a postdoc at UC Riverside. I recently returned from a quick AGU, where I presented a talk an invited talk on 'Extreme Climate, Carbon, and Continents: Quantifying Earth system feedbacks in the late Paleozoic' -- research that has long been in the works, and in collaboration with friends Dan Ibarra (UC Berkeley/Brown), Tyler Kukla (Stanford), and Jeremy Caves Rugenstein (MPI-Met and CSU). Very glad to see it come together, and excited about the positive feedback! You can read the abstract here.
I am very honored to receive the Doris M. Curtis Outstanding Woman in Science Award from GSA. Thanks to GSA; my nominators, Jon Payne, Kate Maher, Tim Lyons, and Francis Macdonald; and my many co-authors and collaborators that I have worked with for my dissertation research, for other papers in graduate school, and projects that I started as a postdoc and since--research really is a team effort! I am thrilled, and excited to keep the momentum going. Photo credit: Priscilla Wigington, UW  Nitriles must match my shirt at all times. A few weeks ago, I had a great time visiting beautiful Banff and learning about new frontiers in both the 'geo' and 'bio' components of geobiology. I gave an invited talk on uranium isotopes as a paleoredox proxy. Thanks to the conveners for the wonderful conference! Link to program here.   I had a great time at my first AAPG/SEPM conference in San Antonio! Thanks to the SEPM symposium conveners for an excellent session with interesting perspectives on sedimentology. It was great to meet new colleagues and I enjoyed catching up with friends. Thanks also to my co-authors on this work!
I attended my first Rocky Mountain Geobiology Symposium on Saturday, with two undergrads from my Biogeochemistry class in tow. It was great to catch up with friends and meet other geobio folks from CU Boulder, Colorado School of Mines, and Weber State, and fantastic to see the breadth of geobiological research in the Rocky Mountain region! (photo courtesy of RMGS 2019 organizers)  I am a co-author on a paper using uranium isotopes to track uranium cycling in the Upper Colorado River Basin, published in Environmental Science & Technology. Thanks to Pierre for leading this project! You can check out the paper here.
