Seems like this is the place to be now! I haven’t been on social media for a bit since I’ve been figuring out this whole new mom academic thing 🫠 For those who don’t know me, I’m a professor at Johns Hopkins working on all things planet formation and habitability.

The FIRSST proposal is in! This was my first major NASA mission proposal in a leadership role, and I'm so proud of our team and the mission that we've put together. Stay tuned to learn more about what we can discover about the universe using far-infrared spectroscopy!
