I reread the series yearly. Becca and I inhaled each book. We are waiting for the 4th one to come out in the next few months.

Tearing up at work watching this. Probably hit the most when @thespacegal.bsky.social talked about her kids. Will have to watch this video again with kiddo later today.

Would folks say that this is accurate? Stargazing is the “touching grass” of the night The idea popped up in a conversation and I'm tempted to add it to an astronomy training session I'm running in a week.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

The timing of this video is way too perfect in relation to an astronomy training that I'm giving in a week and a half. youtu.be/T_U-0-Rr5rY?...

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

In response to orders from the Trump White House, the National Science Foundation has canceled all of its grant review panels for this week. This follows the National Institutes of Health canceling its grant review panels earlier. This is a huge disruption to US science.

The NASA SSERVI tactile books are unavailable. I was going to list them as a resource for one of my programs but it looks like that is out the window. While I can access copies of their books, I was hoping to make them more accessible for my ambassadors. sservi.nasa.gov/books/

Today marks the 100th anniversary since the 1925 Total Solar Eclipse passed through Rochester! Unfortunately, Rochesterians had the same view that we had last April 8th.

Quoting Carl Sagan to kiddo has led to the discussion of what goes into a Space Pie. Apparently it's apples, planets, and onions.
