Are you at #AGU24 and excited about HWO? That makes you a HWOmie! Pass by the NASA booth tomorrow morning from 10a-6p to get a ribbon and meet other HWO researchers and enthusiasts.

The lines this morning are pretty long. Head into the convention hall, go upstairs to top floor when you see the Christmas tree, keep going straight, and the registration boots are in the big room in the back on the left-hand side. Elevators are on the left-hand side.

Today I’m happy to no longer be her undergraduate student but her colleague, and none of this would have been possible without her mentoring abilities, academic guidance, and pushing me to be the person I am today before I saw it myself. 5/5

To do coursework we visited a site within the Newark Basin and found that the #accessibility of the site was not only useful from an #inclusion perspective, but was scientifically interesting and required additional study. 3/5

Many struggle with writing alt text for charts and other other data visualizations. Amy Cesal's "Writing Alt Text for Data Visualization" hammers home the importance of explaining the chart type, the type of data, and the reason for the chart. medium.com/nightingale/...
