Purdue University is a public research university in West Lafayette, Indiana. Its Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) hosts roger-wiens’s SuperCam calibration lab and led the 2026 Nature Communications paper on neretva-vallis nickel-rich iron sulfides (henry-manelski lead author; see src-perseverance-neretva-nickel-rocks-2026-04).
Separately, Purdue researcher darrell-evans argued in The Conversation (2026) that despite federal UAP investigation, U.S. universities — Purdue included — lack dedicated UAP research centers, doctoral training, or funding pipelines (see src-academic-uap-stigma-2026-04).
