Got to meet my favorite author tonight, Emily St. John Mandel (@emilymandel.bsky.social), after she took part in a great conversation with Lauren Groff (@legroff.bsky.social)! Mandel’s are the novels I go back to again and again. Looking forward to reading my signed copy of her latest, Exit Party!

Dan Campbell was so red during that sideline interview he looked like a reverse Violet Beauregard. It’s like he went into the football chocolate factory, but instead of treats everything was just a fucking holding penalty. #nfl #lions #tnf

Another one across the finish line! Congrats to the newly minted Dr. Liz Pesar! Liz defended her PhD today, which consisted of three projects examining iron isotopic variability on three different planetary bodies! Pictured: Liz in her natural habitat, watching columns drip in the UF clean lab.

So as a 40th birthday/getting tenure present to myself, we went to Berlin and I got this piece done! Huge hat tip to Koray Karagözler at VEXA BLN for the absolutely insane work.

🎉 Really excited to share that I've been promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure for Fall 2026! 🥂 It was a long, stressful road with a lot of hard work, but its also been a ton of fun. Couldn't have done it without a lot of advisors, mentors, colleagues, students, friends, along the way.

JFC. Could @axios.com have possibly come up with a more cringe-worth explanation for why the well-being of children in America matter? "Why it matters: Children's wellbeing affects future workforce participation and economic growth..."

This morning I got to go to the spacecraft construction highbay at the Applied Physics Lab in MD to see the actual Dragonfly spacecraft under construction! In a few years it’ll be going to Saturn’s moon Titan where it will be flying around and learning about pre-biotic chemistry! SO COOL!#PlanetSci

It was pretty indescribable to actually watch a rocket carrying humans launch to the Moon in person. It’s not hyperbole for me to say that for my entire life I have hoped that I would actually see this happen. #PlanetSci #Artemis2
