Saw the Roman Space Telescope at Goddard this morning and 😍😍 Truly can’t wait for launch in 2026 and the amount of science we’ll get out of it. We’re expecting over 1TB of data per DAY from Roman!

Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it. Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.

Exoplanet folks! 🪐🔭 I’ll be visiting STScI and Goddard to present some of my PhD work later this month at the exoplanet seminars. If you’re interested in reflected light direct imaging of exoplanets or studying solar system planets in an exoplanet context, reach out and let’s chat while i’m in town!

The chance of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting out planet in 2032 is now 1.5%, or 1 in 67. The OVERWHELMING likelihood is that the asteroid will miss Earth. But for the first time ever, we might have to seriously consider a deflection mission soon. Let me explain. 🧵 (1/x)

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This is very good. I used to think that those who insist science is apolitical and must stay out of politics altogether were misguided. I hope it's now clear that such attitudes were catastrophically foolish - we are in an age (and have been for some time) where adherence to facts is political.

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)
