I was mapping this area on Europa called Conamara Chaos, where we believe that the surface is locally heated. Because of this, there are ginormous icebergs that broke off and floated around in this slushy ice, so I learned to map [that part of the surface]. Having my physics and math background and thinking about a world with a subsurface ocean, I was like, 'OK, this is a good marriage of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Europa is a nice world to study that will combine my background with this new planetary science thing that I love.\u2019\r \r\u201cWhat happened with Europa Clipper was I decided to do my dissertation topic on [the moon]. We'd seen images of these beautiful south polar plumes on Enceladus, these geyser-like plumes, but Europa is much bigger. It has much more water and receives much more tidal heating. Why didn't  the Galileo spacecraft see plumes on Europa? Why don't we see geysers?\r\r\u201cMy dissertation focused on what it would take to have this geyser activity on Europa and for spacecraft cameras to image it. I remember defending my dissertation well but sitting there thinking, \u2018People will think I'm a quack because we've never seen geysers on Europa.\u2019 That was in May, and by December, Lorenz Roth's paper came out that Hubble may have detected geysers on Europa. That's when I was like, 'Oh yes, I might actually have a career!'\r\r\u201cShortly after that, the call came out for instrument proposals. Zibi Turtle [Principal Investigator for the Europa Imaging System] met me at a conference and said, 'We're writing a proposal for a camera for the Europa mission. Would you want to be on it?' At that point, I was a year out of my Ph.D. and was like, \u2018Are you kidding me?\u2019 Because that usually never happens. Usually, the people on these instrument teams are more senior. They've been around longer, so it\u2019s very rare to be just finishing up your Ph.D. and someone asks you.
