I wanted to share a side project I have been working on: CyRK github.com/jrenaud90/CyRK a #Python package that mimics much of the functionality of #SciPy solve_ivp but can perform #ODE integrations 100's x faster. If you are looking for a numerical integrator for your python project, check it out!

can confirm most of this
#nasa is shuttering the Goddard #space #flight center in a move that may not be entirely legal, according to critics. For months, our #staff #writer @joshdinner.bsky.social interviewed NASA #employees, read #senate reports and more to give you the deepest dive yet.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

I'm actually fully saturated with students already, but I'd be happy to host postdoc fellows for the NHFP, the 51 Peg b, NSF AAPF, etc. Please feel free to reach out!

I’m convening a session at a planetary science conference this fall and people keep withdrawing their presentations. So far every one has been withdrawn because of lack of travel support. It’s all folks coming from the US. This administration is killing scientific disciplines in big ways and small

For anyone unfamiliar, the ranks of GS-13, GS-14, and GS-15 are equivalent of assistant, associate, and full professor ranks among NASA civil servants. This is the letting go of over 2,000 faculty-level researchers. 🔭🧪

With cuts like these -- 5,000 planned cut staff through 2026, 1414 cut staff at Goddard Space Flight Center alone, where much of NASA Astrophysics is housed -- the United States effectively abandons its decades-old global leadership position in astrophysics.
