I am proud of the @aas.org for leading this effort. The gutting of the NSF is devastating to future innovation and discovery. 🔭🧪✨🚀

To celebrate the end of the semester and a blissful day without meetings, I’m starting prep for a course I want to teach next year on Exotheology—exploring the relationship between theological ideas and the possibility of ET life. I am in academic nerd heaven. 🔭🧪👽

We’ve left Earth a mess, so let’s go destroy space too. We’re like spoiled children who never learned to take care of their things or clean up after themselves. To the universe, I am sorry humans are so foolish. 🌎

I’m not saying that a flight of coffee will fix everything, but throw in a chocolate croissant and we’ve created an oasis that makes anything seem possible. ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

I am personally unreasonably excited to learn about the #physics of pasta, but you can also tune in to hear me talk about what we don’t know about the universe :). I💙IraFlatow 🧪🔭✨

I can’t tell if what I’m feeling is food poisoning, a stomach bug, or the unbridled hubris and creepiness of this guy. 🤮

The “questionable left-over coffee” phase is real. I feel seen.

It’s almost like he doesn’t understand Autism. Or science. Or actually what it means to be human with decency.

I can think of a long list of things that would do more for women. Like, oh I don’t know, maybe actually supporting women who don’t have millions of dollars to spend on going to space for a 10min joy ride. 🔭🧪

How easy it is to forget we are part of something much bigger than ourselves when we cut ourselves off from the cosmos. We are such myopic creatures. 🔭🧪

Invasive species: * lack natural predators, competitors, or diseases that control their populations. * outcompete native species for resources, disrupt ecosystems, and even lead to the decline or extinction of native plants and animals. Humans are an invasive species and this doesn’t end well.

Planting 6 blueberry bushes in rock-saturated clay ground was not on my to-do list for the weekend, and yet here we are. The power of procrastination is limitless.

Boston area folks, I’d love to see you at this Harvard Science Book Talk next week. Where did the universe come from? What happens inside black holes? Are there other dimension? It’s all fair game at this event! 🔭🧪📚 Details here: www.harvard.com/event/kelsey...

There are some things that seem like such inherently bad ideas that I marvel at the need for a sign. Swimming in frigid water with icebergs falls in that category for me.
