The NASA DAVINCI mission represents a fantastic push forward on exploring and understanding our sister planet, Venus! I'm excited to work on the science that will come from this mission and helping to inspire a whole new generation of planetary scientists.

So many similarities 💅
Venus is insanely cvnt 💫 nothing but respect for the planet that obliterates any attempt to land on her 🔥 she’s hot, she mysterious, she will kill you 💄 “what if Earth had a twin that slayed” you ask 🌎 good news ⚡️ solar system prom queen 4.5 billion years running 👸

Precipitation Probability (PoP) = the probability that the forecast grid/point in question will receive at least 0.01" of rain.
Hey, meteorologists. There’s no such thing as a 100% chance. That’s what we call a certainty.
Aren’t you guys supposed to be scientists?

Now that we all know drones are just Venus…. learn more about the DAVINCI mission and how it is going to answer questions about this amazing planet.
Did you know we're sending a probe all the way to the Venus surface to figure out if the planet was ever Earthlike?
Read about NASA's incredible DAVINCI mission, and the first aerial photographs humans will ever take of Venus...

If anyone is happy in my lab we will immediately clear the space due to obvious gas leak.

Minor pet peeve: LPI abstracts require titles in all caps but during submission the website requires standard title capitalization. Meaning I can’t just copy/paste. This only uses ~30 seconds but it’s really annoying.

Unclear if unpopular opinion:
Review panels need to go back to in person or our methods need to completely change. This just isn’t working.
