Good morning, Bluesky. Today’s #GoodMorningNews: a trial at Washington University’s school of medicine has shown great results for a vaccine that would prevent recurrence for a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. It’s a small trial, but 3 years later 16/18 participants remain cancer free

Fun couple of days bumming around with my friends from the #vaticanobservatory, including @specolations.bsky.social. Lots of talking, long drives (including one that was half academic senate meeting via Zoom!). Now I'm tired but at least it's Friday!

I was supposed to go to the American Anthropological Association meetings in Toronto on Tuesday. Instead, I canceled my flight and flew out to California Wednesday morning to spend my mom‘s last two days with her. It was for sure the right decision. I am so sad. Rest in peace, Carlyn Weibel.

Freaking out mildly about East Coast thunderstorms that are possible tomorrow evening since United and Airlines warned me that there may be problems with my flight to São Paulo, Brazil. I need to get there because I’m giving a workshop on space anthropology Monday morning! Send good vibes, please.
