As I mentioned in my previous quarter-post about our publication in Nature Communications, it's been a minute. And similar to the hiatus here in Pink Moon, our research project on mantle overturn was ten years in the making!
I was invited to share this story on the Earth and Environmental Sciences Community page at Springer Nature. This "behind the paper" look follows the ten year journey from ideation to last week's publication, and why along the way serving margaritas at a Mexican restaurant took precedent over lunar evolution....

Welcome to the Pink Moon! A blog. An update page. I'm not exactly sure it matters. Anyhow, I plan to write about life in the planetary sciences and/or musings on life in general. Sticking with the theme, here you'll read quarter-posts (< 500 words), half-posts (500 - 1000 words), and full-posts (> 1000 words). I think it's fun to stay positive and be inclusive, so you won't find harsh or sarcastic political opinions in Pink Moon. Instead, read this blog if you are interested in planetary science or how a planetary scientist tries to understand the natural world around them. I like to meet new people and understand where they come from. I hope you can find the same here, sincerely.
For the first-ever "full-post" Pink Moon blog, I thought it appropriate to post on April's full Pink Moon (and it's tonight! Literally just look up tonight to see the Full Pink Moon!), which happens to also be the topic AND was the title of my first-ever scientific peer-reviewed publication. I have a lot of people ask me if the "Pink Moon" paper was in reference to the late folk singer-songwriter, Nick Drake. Sort of, but also not really.... Hi! My name is Tabb, and I'm a planetary geologist. This is my official blog, "Pink Moon," and I'll be posting thoughts regarding past, current, and future activities in planetary science as well as occasional musings on life in general. Stay tuned for the Pink Moon!
