Heard at last month’s MIT Alumni Forum: MIT Earth, Atmospheric, & Planetary Sciences Assistant Professor Gaia Stucky de Quay discusses the climate on Mars—then and now—and how the Red Planet’s ancient water systems act as “tape recorders” of its environment, geological activity, and habitability.
Watch the full talk and attend the forthcoming Forum, “The Body in Space: Thriving Beyond Earth’s Limits,” with MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics’ Dr. Lonnie Peterson on April 10. bit.ly/425TNYC

Sheila Xu ’14 never imagined she could become a pilot, but she says MIT put her on that path. Born deaf to hearing parents, Xu first learned American Sign Language and connected with the Deaf community as an undergraduate. These experiences inspired her to want to open doors for more people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
