Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

This is what our neighbor’s dog Sammie does every time he sees #BeauTheYorkie. I didn’t catch it here, but he has the best side eye for energetic young puppies. #DogsOfBlusky

The fires in LA are having a big impact on the #NASA community. I'm starting to hear that several colleagues at #JPL have lost their homes. I'm so sorry for what you are going through and I hope that you and your families (including pets) are able to stay safe. 🔭🪐🧪 www.space.com/space-explor...

This is so exciting! Wendy Freedman has done some of the most groundbreaking work with the #Hubble Space Telescope. Her work is the first topic I reviewed for a class in #GradSchool. 🧪🪐🔭🛰️

#BeauTheYorkie is having a wonderful time over the Holidays with his “nephew” (my son’s puppy) Kayce. He’s taught Kayce about “Dog TV” and now they both love watching the world through the front window.

Via #NASA- Scheduled to launch in the early 2030's, NASA’s #DAVINCI mission will explore Venus’ ancient terrain, snap the first surface pics in 40+ years, and study its atmosphere. The goal? To uncover how a planet so similar to Earth took such a drastic turn. - science.nasa.gov/missions/dav...

On a more personal note, it’s been a rough year. My dad passed away in April. #BeauTheYorkie has been a ray of sunshine during this time. I’ve also found comfort in nature and the stages of grief playlists #TaylorSwift created for us fans. The “Depression” list has been playing a lot this week.
