- What’s your favorite song that has a long title (at least 6 words long)? In highschool there was a local Albany band, Mambo X, with a 10000 Maniacs vibe. They had an instrumental called What Catherine the Great Thought as the Horse Descended. Good song, also my intro to historical misogyny.
- Hahaha now do science at federal installations
- As an early Zima adopter, 10/10 would drink
- Interesting 🧵 with real data. I’ve long held that we don’t have a “women in science” problem - it’s waaay broader than that.
- I saw a largeish flock of winter robins today fluttering and chirping and eating holly berries in the snow and it made me so happy

- The Artemis II wet dress rehearsal made it to T-5:15 last night but NASA says they will do a second WDR ahead of launch opportunities in March. This is not disappointing - it's part of the normal process of making sure we are ready! www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio...

- May I suggest that we take our science to the AAS Division for Planetary Sciences meeting? The DPS never lost focus on inclusivity and advocacy. If we move there together, we can update and expand the community of science focus. aas.org/meetings/58t...

- Reposted by barbylonThis is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social
