Amazing technology from the 1930's in the Yates Hoist room. These giant pulleys, originally built for the Homestake Mine. The Sanford Lab repurposed them to transport scientists and engineers to build the DUNE Science experiment more than a mile underground via the headframe.(photo 3)

In 1940, over a period of eight months, more than 58,000 images of Kansas City structures were photographed and assembled as the 1940 Tax Assessment Photograph Collection.

With #LPSC2025 about to start, it's time to share what I've been working on during the last months and will be presenting at the conference.
This is a new high resolution 3D model of the Mont Mercou outcrop in Gale crater, that I made during my recent internship at LPG Nantes. #planetsci 🧵

Looks like the evidence for this weird chemical abundance in an exoplanet atmosphere has gotten stronger with new JWST data: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/s...
Is it really a sign of life? That’s still not clear; lots of analysis left to do. But it’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out! 🧪 🔭

A sample of the first 3D #photogrammetry scan I’ve done as part of my coursework with CyArk and the heritage documentation grant I received.
The building is a reconstruction of Borromeo Church from 1791 in St. Charles, MO. Each little white triangle in the image is where I took the photo from.

Sometimes I think, "Compared to geological time, living things exist for only little blinks," but other times I think, "actually, life is one continuous chemical chain that first formed billions of years ago and every mountain range that existed back then has long since crumbled away to dust."
