Vanna Chmielewski @frqltg.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I am beyond honored to receive the Atmospheric and Space Electricity Early Career Award this year. I'm extremely lucky to be part of an amazing community that's enabled me to be where I am today. I can only hope I'm able to pay that forward and help enable the next generation to come. 12413
Vanna Chmielewski @frqltg.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It was the second option. Now taking bets on how many sleeps before she realizes the power she welds 150
Vanna Chmielewski @frqltg.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Converted the crib to a toddler bed today. Taking bets on how that goes. Will I be woken up at 3am by someone saying "I'm awake now" inches from my face, or by the cries of someone who doesn't remember they can now get out by themselves? 1121
Vanna Chmielewski @frqltg.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The rare telework day has reminded me how much I missed little things, like looking outside to see 20 ducks crowding in the shade of one tree and doing duck things. 020
Vanna Chmielewski @frqltg.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Did I just panic when I realized the leftover pasta I half finished had some obvious pink spots? Yes. Did I eventually remember that I had cooked it with rainbow chard? Also yes. 030

Vanna Chmielewski @frqltg.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Same. Especially when they were still fully stocked before our snow event in January when everywhere else was bare. But somehow they still started sourcing more sausages in there 000
Vanna Chmielewski @frqltg.bsky.social · 28/03/2026It was nice while it lasted. Said store is now closing. Getting my fix while I can. 100

Reposted by Vanna Chmielewski Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 17/03/2026GLM has been game-changing for the community that monitors meteors. Great example! It’s also one of the many new capabilities that would be lost in the current plan to stop flying a GLM-like instrument after the current fleet reaches end of life. 0146

Vanna Chmielewski @frqltg.bsky.social · 02/03/2026My favorite addition to that list: frostweed. Blooms late, lots of flowers, native to a large area of North America, plus a reason to look forward to the first frost of the season. 110
