Absent any feedback on my Mars research on campus, I wrote up my project in a formal paper. It was accepted at the annual Mars Society Convention. The Department pays for grad students to give poster presentations at conferences, let alone formal tech papers. Not me. I had to withdraw the paper. It was never published.
