From speaking with NASA scientists and leaders to seeing firsthand the progress on the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope, I'm excited to continue learning about all of the discoveries taking place at Goddard.

Finally, a note to the many professors in my networks: One other specific, small thing you can do from outside of Minneapolis is reach out to colleagues who are heavily affected (because of their own or their family's risk, or because they're very busy protecting neighbors) and offer a guest lecture

Really nice science reporting on a story that only seems far away — we coastal dwellers along the North Atlantic all need the Antarctic ice sheets to stay mostly the way they are.
They've arrived. A team of nearly 40 global researchers have succeeded in a treacherous trek through sea ice to study the Thwaites Glacier.
For a while, they weren't sure they'd make it at all, reports PBS News Hour science correspondent Miles O'Brien.
