Last week, lab members were thrilled to attend the in-person GAC-MAC 2021 conference at Western University in London, Ontario! Justin and Teanna acted as Dr. Power's entourage while presenting his and Teanna's research on Atlin, British Columbia, as a terrestrial analogue to Jezero Crater, Mars. The Low-Temperature Mineralogy session was full of exciting research on magnesium carbonates from Ian and our Albertan colleagues. We found lots of inspiration for our next experiments back in the lab! Highlights of the trip for Teanna and Justin included attending expert-led workshops on Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Diffraction. The highlight of the trip for Ian was winning a few games of pool against the graduate students. Overall, it was a much-needed break from virtual conferences, and we're looking forward to more! Thanks, Ian, for the opportunity to get outside of the lab... We'll be working on our pool in preparation for next time!
