Astrophysicist, educator, and mama who likes to play outside. Low-key vibes, fancy degrees. I believe that which unites us is greater than that which divides us, so let's find common ground. Associate Professor at UConn, views my own.

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath
Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision…
Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter.
If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

For my first bluesky post (🥳🎉), I'll describe my cover image. Our Galactic Center stands alone and strange. Largely separated from the rest of the Galaxy, it responsible for controlling how much gas eventually flows towards the central supermassive black hole.
