The labs are busying this afternoon with our third year Bachelor students starting their four week projects! Students are testing carbon isotopes in beers, developing DGTs to measure uranium, measuring strontium isotopes in snail shells to see how they differ from plants, and more! 🐌🌳🍺⚛️🥼

The ULTIMO team is currently returning from Antarctica with a final yield of 110 meteorites and ~80 kg of (micrometeorite-rich) sediments! We look forward to analyzing these samples when they make it to the AMGC! ☄️
We wish the team a safe trip back to Belgium! 😊

This week in the AMGC lab, @fienjo.bsky.social is searching for micrometeorites from sediment samples, Inigo is sampling ostrich eggs for clumped isotope analysis and Titouan is preparing geothermal granite samples for elemental analysis 🧪☄️🪨🥚

Time & Space! At this years Wetenschapfestival Brussel, our @amgc-vub.bsky.social team presented themes of both archaeology and cosmo chemistry under one roof, presenting samples, creating art, and giving out free (temporary) tattoos 🦷🦴🔥☄️🌘🪨🚀

Well done to the whole team!
