Physics & Poetry. Turned law enforcement into social media stars. Researching Internet culture & children's rights on the Internet.
Such a daunting task to rebuild the profile on a new platform. Or as Ranjhna would say,

पर साला अब उठे कौन?

कौन फिरसे मेहनत करे दिल लगाने को.. दिल तुडवाने को..

Some time ago, NASA hired me to write about stuff humanity had flung into the heavens, far beyond Earth. They published it in 2018. This is it, a 372-page reference on every spaceship sent to deep space (cover by explorer & filmmaker extraordinaire @arielwaldman.com): www.nasa.gov/history/hist...

To launch my blue sky:
یہ گمبد مینائ یہ عالم تنہائ …بھٹکا ہوا راہی تو ، بھٹکا ہوا راہی میں

منزل ہے کہاں تیری اے لالہ صحرائ

This blue sky-dome, this lonely world
you are a lost wayfarer, and so am I,
Where is your destination, oh poppy of the desert?

-Iqbal

Swapna consistently does an EXCELLENT job of delivering the best space news! Check this out to see for yourself!
I wrote about why Voyager 1’s switch to a backup transmitter is a huge problem (and if you watch the video linked in the post, you will see me almost start crying talking about the possible end of Voyager 1’s mission):

One thing I wish I saw more from communicators especially on health & medicine:

Let's be more vocal about the positives of interventions that work.

Yes, it's important to push back on misinformation, poor research practices & clarify side effects. But let's not forget how important this all is.
