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.

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!​

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!

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.

Daniel Ibarra, Rachel Bernard, Emily Cooperdock, and I also presented on Asian American geoscience doctorates -- you can download the poster on the Earth and Space Science Open Archive here!
