Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it.

Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.

I love that it's not just "turtles all the way down", but turtles all the way up, down, left and right, filling up the entire plane.

It was also soon discovered that you can decorate the tiles with stripes that line up. (The reflected turtles get three stripes, as they are where three lines meet.)
