March for Science

Thousands of scientists and supporters, including many from DTM, came out to support the March for Science on April 22, in Washington, DC.


Neighborhood Lecture

Conel Alexander led the crowd on a journey through space, examining 'rocks' that have had a profound influence on the evolution of Earth.


Job Opening

DTM is currently looking to hire a highly qualified and motivated computational scientist whose primary responsibility will be to provide information technology support for the astronomy group.

 

POSTDOC SPOTLIGHT


Miki Nakajima

Raised in a "small" town in Tokyo, Miki Nakajima says it was unusual for Japanese people to study and work in the US long-term. Today, she's doing just that as a postdoc studying planetary geophysics at DTM.
