Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate many successes and who supported us through challenges. I will always remain a champion of JPL’s extraordinary work to expand humanity’s reach into the cosmos and make lives better on Earth.

Leading JPL has been the honor of a lifetime. I am proud of the many things we accomplished together – launching and making progress on a long list of missions, driving the forefront of technology on Earth and in space, and making more amazing scientific discoveries than I can name.

I’ll continue at Caltech as Bren Professor of Geochemistry and Planetary Science, and will leave JPL in the very capable hands of Dave Gallagher, whom I strongly support as the Lab’s 11th Director. I will focus on re-starting me research program and helping my family recover from the Eaton fire.
