Done with my first semester. When designing the difficulty, considering an American grading system, and without knowing how the students are here, I made sure to err on the side of making the class easy vs. too hard. I definitely ended up landing on the easy side of things.

About the leaked NASA budget proposal that kills an almost-ready-to-launch flagship mission: "It sets back a program that is clearly the leading program in the world—in a historic fashion. You take that program and shoot it through the head."

I've now heard from a colleague that one of their awarded NASA grants was terminated. These grants have previously undergone peer review and work has already begun, canceling them is completely unwarranted!

Tremendous insight from Dra. Nicole Cabrera Salazar and shared by @capricephillips.bsky.social in a presentation today. 🔭🧪⚛️
"Hindsight and advice in Finding Advisor for Dra. Nicole Cabrera Salazar: "It's better to have an advisor that is supportive of you and a good person who doesn't do exactly what you wanna do, then to have an advisor that does exactly the type of research that you enjoy but are miserable".
