So, #introduction. I'm Paul Voosen, the earth and planetary science reporter at Science magazine. I cover #climate, #NASA, #geoscience, Mars rocks, foram tales, gyres, ridges, slabs, clouds. And mostly, I'm here to listen in. So I'm going to try and convince as many geoscientists to join us here as possible.
