I used to make long distance phone calls on a rotary phone. You cannot scare me.

No camera can capture the breathtaking depth and scale of the summit of Haleakala, but here is my attempt after the 7-mile no-oxygen almost-killed-me Sliding Sands hike. The sunset that followed made it all worth it.

Yeah, that’s the thing. Kids do want to actually learn stuff. I’m listening to my daughter and her friends head off to college taking about classes and learning. Shoving AI down their throats will suck the joy for learning way more than honework and tests and grades ever could.

It's mostly not about the technology, itself. They are angry about A.I. because they are anxious about how to be successful. No one in charge will tell them the new path to upward mobility. No seems to want to even figure one out. All anyone will talk to them about is A.I.

There comes a time in a woman’s career when she is fully sick and tired of being in a room that is 80% (mostly older) men lamenting “where are all the women in STEM?” At this point, I just want to be excused from having to attend these types of things.

Build a planetarium in every community and bring back the laser light show. I’m not kidding at all.

I’m envious of and happy for my friends abroad. The 2024 eclipse that passed over Vermont was breathtaking. A deeply moving experience.

Final conference of the summer! ✨ Myself, C. Andonie, J. Petley, E. Glikman, and T. Costa organised a Lorentz Center workshop on the role of obscured AGN in galaxy evolution. It was a really fun and inspiring week, meeting lots of amazing astronomers and learning a lot about dusty AGN! 🌌

This workshop aims to build new collaborations to define future observations needed to reconcile dusty AGN populations (JWST, ALMA, ELT, SKA), and to establish how future generations of theoretical models should address dust physics and its link to AGN feedback. bit.ly/4vOA640 @eilatg.bsky.social

My goodness the grift. SeatGeek wants to give me 110% “credit for my next event” instead of a refund for the show that was canceled. Nearly $1k! Because you can’t enjoy music like a normal person anymore. Absolute motherfuckers.

Planned a whole nyc weekend with my college-bound baby girl which included going to see Noah Kahan tonight. It rained all day. We got soaked. But it seemed to clear up just in time for the show to be canceled ☹️😢😭 (We were at the stadium when we found out!! I don’t see any rain 😠)

I’ve had a rough week so let me just say - if you use LLMs to “improve” your science I think you’re a coward and a hack. We don’t need more science faster, even if LLMs make that possible. We need thoughtful science done by people who like doing it.

This book gutted me. The slaughters of European Jews through decades and centuries. The indifference, at best, of much of the world. The wit and tenacity of Bundist men and women, who never strayed from their ideals of socialist solidarity. The echoes of this story today in Palestine and ICE raids.

I respond by saying something like “I’m not sure it’s worth using up all the water and electricity just to so you can vibe-code”. I savor the awkward moment that follows.

Whenever I push back against AI encroachment into our lives, I have to preface it with “I’m not anti tech. I am a scientist. I code for my work”. Otherwise you’re branded a Luddite. Yet, the more tech-knowledgeable people I know the more protective they are against this encroachment.

I gave a Fermi problem on my final requiring a rough knowledge of the US population as an input assumption. Im seeing estimates of a few tens of millions up to 10 billion. I guess its normal that 18 year olds don't have a sense of the size of the US population?

Or in more detail: Robert Merton's (1942) famous norms describe the ethos of modern science. The second of these, universalism, precludes the consideration of national borders, race, or other personal characteristics in determining who may contribute to, and what constitutes, valid science.

The international nature of science may be its most beloved aspect for me. I love that I know people from literally all over the world. I love that we all care about the same beautiful thing. The fascists of the last century tried to destroy those bonds. We cannot let them succeed this time.
