Just gave our @iaacsic.bsky.social journal club summarising the @europlanetmedia.bsky.social #EPSCDPS2025 meeting in Helsinki (now nearly 2 months ago!) . Now looking forward to welcoming a couple of guests from the @oeaw.bsky.social Space Research Institute, Graz for some collaborative discussions!

EPSC-DPS sai ihan kivasti julkisuuttaa alan piirissä ja myös paikallisesti Varkaudessa, kun Warkauden lehti julkaisi artikkelin. Kirjoittelin myös vastaavan artikkelin SpaceFinlandin sivuille.

not on any of our current subNeptune targets. Hamish Innes presented some important work on subNeptune evolution tracks at #EPSCDPS2025 in Helsinki, indicating that it may be hard to reach a liquid water ocean state even under low irradiation. Stay tuned.

A pleasant fringe benefit in the wake of the #EPSCDPS2025 meeting in Helsinki was an acquaintance with Finnish rye whiskey. Rye has a kind of low connotation (cowboy shots) and some rye is mediocre or even vile. But the best rye is really excellent -- in US expressions, I'd point especially to
Had a blast at #EPSCDPS2025 here in Helsinki last week. Lots of really cool science talks and catching up with colleagues from the BepiColombo mission and beyond 🛰️

Cool!
I sadly missed the Lucy session at #EPSCDPS2025 last week due to clashing sessions, but interesting to see all the features on this little body :)
Behalf of the #EPSCDPS2025 LOC, big thanks all of You who participated in the conference! 1803 participants, 1659 attending on-site and 144 by virtually. Next year the #EPSC is held in The Hague, Netherlands.

We had a fantastic week at #EPSCDPS2025 in Helsinki, meeting new and old collaborators alike. Lots of great #titan and #comets science throughout the week, with Matt, Julia, and Abhinav all sharing their science too (with some feedback from @nickattree.bsky.social). Great job team! #PlanetSci
Back at work @iaacsic.bsky.social in #Granada after an excellent #EPSCDPS2025 in #Helsinki and the projects don't stop! I'm pleased to welcome Yuri Skorov from @mpsgoettingen.astrodon.social.ap.brid.gy for some collaborative work on #comets and thermophysical modelling for 2 weeks. #PlanetSci
I am ready to move to Finland now, or at least to Helsinki.
Thanks for a great time at #EPSCDPS2025!!!
Just back from a week in Helsinki where I hosted the morning briefings at #EPSCDPS2025 Congress. The city surprised me - quiet beauty, gentle light, and time to walk, think, and reconnect with science, art and family.✨

Our #EPSCDPS2025 meeting in Helsinki was exhausting, and a flight delay made for a very late night. But I had to smile as some of my Leicester colleagues spent the whole flight patiently answering space questions from fellow passengers. Nice reminder that we are privileged to do a very cool job. 😎

A white sign says Helsinki. Behind is a green park, and behind that a large white building: Finlandia hall, the conference venue.
A grand boulevard with the impressive facade of a building on one side and green trees and a park on the other.

Kiitos #Helsinki for an excellent #EPSCDPS #EPSCDPS2025!
Talk and a poster presented, session co-chaired, and discussions with about a million collaborators and colleagues! All in all, extremely tiring but very productive 🙂
See you all in the Netherlands for #EPSC2026 ! #PlanetSci
Medieval style shield with crossed sword and quill pen saying thirsty scholar.
Last stop of the night: The Thirsty Scholar, the @helsinki.fi student bar! Perfect #Helsinki #EPSCDPS2025
That’s a wrap on #EPSCDPS2025. Grateful for all the conversations and talks this week. I really believe there is something special about the planetary science community when we get everyone together. Until the next joint meeting.
A group of people sit at a large wooden table. They all wear horned viking helmets.
One last dinner in #Helsinki... well we had to, didn't we? #viking #EPSCDPS2025 #EPSCDPS
Farewell to #EPSCDPS2025 . Thanks for a great week, and see you again in two years, I hope!
Presented at #EPSCDPS2025 in Finland! 🚀
“The low-friction and viscous detachments drive deformation on Mars”.
Our study shows how weak detachments shape tectonic deformation in the Tharsis region, offering new insights into Martian lithosphere dynamics.

A lot of people crowding around pancakes (crepes) being served
The grand finale! 😁
#pancakes #EPSCDPS2025
phew, almost made it to the end of #EPSCDPS2025. Not gonna lie, I think we're all flagging here towards the end 😅
Looking forward to the pancakes(!) at the farewell event and then crashing. #EPSCDPS
It's the last day of #EPSCDPS2025! We hope everyone had a great time! We have one more talk today @ 3pm:
Nader Haghighipour will present "Effects of secular resonances on the dynamical evolution and orbital architecture of planetary systems in binary stars" in room Neptune.
Abst:
Photo of a conference room with the speaker at the podium on the right and a slide projected on a screen on the left. The slide caption reads: "Thank you! Kiitos!" ("Thank you" in Finnish, where the conference is taking place). On the right is a multicoloured meteor with a smiley face, on the left text reading: "Currently looking for a job!" The image has been slightly edited to remove contact information.
Adding to the collection of job-searching slides :D
