Mother, astrophysicist, educator, writer, artist, thinker about things. Views expressed are mine. Duh.
Gorgeous picture-perfect autumn day at #UVA today. This is my favorite time of year in Virginia. 🍁🍂🎃

Procrastination takes may forms. Tonight as a service to the astronomical community I offer help with your JWST proposal titles.

Sharing a photo from the road today. A friend captioned it:
“Actual footage of university budget software trying to reimburse me for the $25 I spent on snacks for a group meeting.”
There is a meme in here somewhere.

A triumph of human persistence and ingenuity: At the age of 35, the Hubble Space Telescope is more productive than ever. Wow.

I’m not saying that a flight of coffee will fix everything, but throw in a chocolate croissant and we’ve created an oasis that makes anything seem possible.

I can think of a long list of things that would do more for women. Like, oh I don’t know, maybe actually supporting women who don’t have millions of dollars to spend on going to space for a 10min joy ride. 🔭🧪

Maybe he wants to move to El Salvador?

This should not be difficult to work into everyday conversation these days.

I ❤️ dictionaries junkies. And I am totally using this tomorrow. When I am inevitably late for something. @merriam-webster.com

Boston area folks, I’d love to see you at this Harvard Science Book Talk next week. Where did the universe come from? What happens inside black holes? Are there other dimension? It’s all fair game at this event! 🔭🧪📚

I am very sorry to say we are now back in a location with a megalomaniac narcissist dictator, half of the population being cool with that, and no Aurora.

I will totally celebrate #PiDay. 🧮#Math

There are some things that seem like such inherently bad ideas that I marvel at the need for a sign. Swimming in frigid water with icebergs falls in that category for me.

Yeah, so this happened in my town today. I’m adding this to my list of things that don’t make sense in the world right now.

I’ve been studying this vignette, which seems to capture an entire story in one frame. And seriously, in the history of mansplaining has there ever been a more condescending and mansplainy posture?
