I guess I'm going to make an effort to see what's up over here more often. And how to use this version of social media.

Pray for me. My not yet 2 year old has figured out how to open baby gates.

My department is hiring two tenure track positions! Application review begins Oct 1. Astrophysics and nuclear physics are of greater interest, but we encourage all interested candidates to apply. www.usna.edu/HRO/jobinfo/...

How does Baby Shark only have 13B views when it is clearly crack to toddler ears? Especially when my toddler is responsible for 12.9B of those views?

It is not lost on me that the same week Arecibo's computers are shut down is the same week my tenure becomes official. My first observing run was there.

I got an email entitled "The Psychology of the Solar System" and I have so many questions. In particular, why have the crank emails gotten weirder over time?

Near-infrared view of Saturn and the rings taken by Cassini in July 2017. Saturn is also showing ‘ringshine’, light reflected off the rings and onto the night side of the planet.

There's nothing like watching YouTube videos of a British guy power wash things when you're sick.

Wrote me first bite of python code that actually produces a plot today. So there's that. I guess that means I'm leaving IDL behind...

How is my summer half over and the only thing I've accomplished is learning there's a wasp's nest in the bushes outside my front door? Can I write a paper on that? Will that get me a promotion?

50 very hungry caterpillars were eating my blueberry bushes. This means war.

This is like my early days of Twitter again. Nice with jokes and science and stuff.

Y'all, I don't think Taye Diggs is here yet. What actor is going to follow every scientist out there now?!?!
