Exoplanet atmosphere characterization is built on a foundation of lab data and chemistry. We need more reaction rates, cross sections, & line lists, at a broader range of conditions than the Solar System. Got together with Earth/planetary scientists to comment on this: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
How to understand exoplanets — space scientists call on lab-based chemists to help
Stronger links between researchers who work on Earth’s and other planets’ atmospheres, and between the experimental, modelling and observational communities, will help to interpret the astronomical da...

First week @esa.int and they're setting up for an open day which sold out in 6 MINUTES! Didn’t get any but I still got to go in the virtual ISS module.

Day 1 as an archival research visitor @esa.int in Madrid! We're looking at data from the Venus Express mission collected during the 2000s.

Just a little Thursday evening Lagrangian trajectory analysis. Venus causes me soooo many headaches by rotating backwards.
