“…because we all stand between the jungle and the #stars, at a crossroads. I think we better discover what brings out the best in humankind, and what brings out the worst, because it's the stars or the #jungle.” -Dr. Thomas Morgan

Panoramic view of our Earth’s shadow along the horizon just after #sunset. The pinkish band is known as the #BeltofVenus; and you can see the waxing gibbous moon above. Taken at #JonesBeach West End 2 on July 6, 2025.

Today, I’m delighted to become an honorary member of the #IowaState University chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. A big thank you to Peter Orazem and the other officers of the chapter. The student initiates are an impressive and amazing array of talent!

Success! IWitnessed the Mayan serpent god Kukulkan’s #equinox appearance at Chichen Itza! On the equinoxes, the stepped pyramid’s corner casts a shadow from the setting sun onto the staircase, making a diamondback snake whose head is illuminated at the bottom. #astronomy

Thinking of Dr. Wojtek Dziembowski - a kind soul whose wisdom and joy made us all better asteroseismologists and people - on his passing earlier this week. Such a privilege to have been able to work with and learn from him, & enjoy many visits together in Poland and at conferences around the world.
