My previous profile picture was taken above Eaton Canyon in happier times - just a week ago. But the fog looks like smoke from #EatonFire, and I can't look at it any more. So instead, a restful image from vacation in England.

Early career and interested in UV astronomy instruments and technology? Heard at the COPAG meeting at #AAS245: Go ahead and cold call! Scientists, engineers and technologists love to talk to and bring in new, enthusiastic, people. So don't be shy! cor.gsfc.nasa.gov/copag/ec/cop...

Thanks to all our friends asking how we are doing in the #EatonFire. We evacuated last night. So far, our house is safe. But there are spot fires all over the local area. Crazy high winds, flying debris, no visibility because of smoke, some access blocked due to downed trees.

Attending #AAS245? New to AAS? Enjoy the smorgasbord! Start with the iPosters and chat with some authors. Don’t know much about the topic? It's ok, just say so. Presenters love to explain why their work is significant!

The @aasoffice.bsky.social Meeting #aas245 in Washington DC next week will be huge – 3400 attendees registered! Too big? Not for me. No better place to network with astro colleagues and make new connections. I love this one big conference every year - I leave exhausted but energized!

Is there a talk on this topic at #AAS245 ? I don't have an opinion. Yet. But science ultimately is not about opinion. I'd just like to learn more.

In So Cal, still waiting for the first drop of rain since spring. But beauty in the weather sometimes. Foothills of the San Gabriels, right where it gets too steep to build houses.

Helpful video on making your iPoster for #AAS245. Recommended! Yeah, the format is constrained. But good design and simple clear messaging will get you the attention your work deserves.

But this is all about hot tea. Ask this Brit about iced tea: "Ewww, a nice hot cup of tea gone cold!"
