Energy systems and computational models are complicated. But models are really useful for figuring out how to best invest in energy systems -- *before* you spend years (and billions) on new infrastructure. 🧪🔋⚛️

🔭🧪Sat down today with @spacemadness96.bsky.social to talk about the history of @irg-space.bsky.social and where we are headed next. We even got to preview my new book, "Interstellar Travel Volume 3: After Arrival" co-edited by Les Johnson!

🧪🔭 I got the amazing pleasure of touring the @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social facility yesterday with the @irg-space.bsky.social crew after the main conference ended. Saw all parts of the rocket manufacturing process, and was wowed every step of the way!

Distant Worlds, Neighboring Opportunities was the theme that I chose for this year's symposium. I chose it to highlight the need to build a resilient community to support #innovation and drive impactful change. Be kind, crew. #Aerospace

Just saw "Lithium Rising" about the effects of mining on marginal people. It was well put together, and sobering.

#Space friends, my organization the Interstellar Research Group is having a conference in the middle of October and we are handing out swag to our participants! Does your group or institution have swag? We would love to give it away for you! 🚀🧪

AI-based Retrosynthesis analysis tools make up fictitious (not literature reported) molecules, allowing synthetic chemists to discover hypothetical materials as targets for monomer synthesis. Very interesting. ##ACSFall2025
