Mars-tastic

So, here at The University of Texas, we are lucky enough to have an extremely hard-working and dedicated professor by the name of Dr. Jack Holt.  He's awesomely cool, just take my word for it.

You WOULD know how awesome he is IF you went to his Hot Science/Cool Talks presentation a few weeks ago.  IF you went to this, then you would be a more intelligent and cool person.  I went, and I am infinitely cooler because of it.

Just to give you a taste of the coolness he oozes, here is an article about the research that Dr. Holt is conducting on Martian ice glaciers.

Dr. Holt works closely with the SHARAD project (ahem, in Rome!) to produce significant evidence that glaciers exist on Mars, albeit covered in dust.  This radargram makes it possible to produce the image shown above.

Soooo, check out this article , it's made of awesome.

Nope, I didn't make up that title...it was already that cheesy! Well okay...maybe part of it...

Next Friday, September 11, our very own Dr. Jack Holt will be giving a cool talk on hot science entitled: "Icy Mysteries of Mars Revealed"!

Now, I can tell you I am definitely going to be there - what better way to get your Mars fix AND take care of getting credit for going to see a seminar/lecture (e.g. honors...) than right here at UT-Austin's Welch building?

Here's an excerpt from UT's OnCampus site on ESI's Hot Science/Cool Talks:

"Join us for an evening of Mars exploration as the Environmental Science Institute presents this talk. Dr. Holt and his scientific colleagues have discovered enormous reserves of frozen water on Mars. Could this water mean life on the red planet? What implications does this discovery hold for future voyages to Mars? Make sure to come early to experience interactive exhibits and activities presented by our partners! K-12 teacher workshop begins at 6 p.m. Free refreshments will be provided. "

Definitely arrive early because I went to a similar talk last year by Don Blankenship and it gets PACKED!
