But... her emails....
The incompetence of this Administration never ceases to amaze. Waltz and other NSC members used Gmail to conduct official government business, with Waltz’s staff even sharing information about sensitive military positions and advanced weapon systems tied to an ongoing conflict.

Scientific experiments run today are based on research practices that evolved out of a British tea-tasting experiment in the 1920s.

Swarms of satellites are harming astronomy. Here’s how researchers are fighting back
SpaceX and other companies plan to launch tens of thousands of satellites, which could mar astronomical observations and pollute the atmosphere.

JWST Spies a Giant Space Hamburger—and Maybe Planetary Origins, Too
It’s neither fast nor food, but a spectacular object called HH 30 looks appetizing for astronomers in a new image from the James Webb Space Telescope

The MExAG steering committee is heartbroken that our first in-person meeting was cancelled due to this.
The request to pause NASA PSD AG meetings is disturbing, though perhaps unsurprising given the pauses in meetings across federal agency related meetings across US based science.
