We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.

Celebrate women and girls in STEM today! Maintaining a research career as well as promoting junior scientists has been a rewarding challenge. I’m always looking at the sky and how humans bring the sky to Earth. #culturalastronomy #indigenousastronomy #blackinastro.

The future of the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System, a key resource for astrophysicists, is possibly in doubt. I remember using this resource as an undergrad and have continued to use it almost daily since then. See @telescoper.bsky.social blog post for more.
