I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

T-minus 12 hours until the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman telescope! 🥳 Roman, the "Mother of Hubble" & #NASA's first Chief of Astronomy was the foundational architect who transitioned the concept of a large space telescope from "hopeful speculation" to a funded reality. #WomenInSTEM #astronomy 🔭
A black-and-white portrait of Nancy Grace Roman (1925–2018), NASA's first Chief of Astronomy and the "Mother of Hubble." The photo shows her from the shoulders up, angled slightly to the right while she smiles warmly toward someone off-camera. She has short, styled white hair and wears distinctive dark-rimmed, oval glasses. Her attire features a light-colored, floral-patterned blouse with a large, elegant bow tied at the neck, and a simple stud earring is visible. In the background, a framed astronomical photograph of a dense star field or galaxy hangs on the wall, subtly nodding to her life's work. The composition is a classic medium close-up, capturing an expression of bright, intellectual engagement. The lighting is soft and professional, evoking a sense of mid-20th-century academic and scientific leadership. This image captures Roman at the height of her career, symbolizing her pivotal role in transitioning space-based astronomy from a theoretical dream to the reality of the Hubble Space Telescope.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. An artist's concept illustration of NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in space. The spacecraft features a large, cylindrical telescope tube with a prominent multi-layered silver sunshield extending from the front, a gold-colored instrument section on one side, extended solar panels, and a high-gain antenna dish. It is set against a vibrant cosmic background of swirling red and purple nebulae, scattered stars, and a bright distant light source.

Look at a forest. Does it grow infinitely? No. It reaches a mature, climax state—biodiverse, resilient, storing massive energy. It doesn't "crash" because it stopped growing; it thrives because it reached equilibrium. Economies need to mimic ecosystems, not cancer cells. 🌲🔄 #Biomimicry #Regenerative
