Another visit to Hill to discuss NASA Space Grant, space and STEM with my MI congressional delegation.

Wow indeed! In my 4 years at UAF - didn’t cancel classes once. The rule for elementary schools was outside recess unless temps below -30!

Beautiful gnarly coastal California tree must be so full of stories

Delighted to participate in panel discussion at the #NPA conference and hope you can join us.

Marketing and propaganda are pretty amazing- can get many to do things against their own - and the broader communities best interests….

Yes! Amazing connections

And a Russian agent

Happy MLK Day!

Cars hanging on wall

At UM Dearborn to talk with postdocs and faculty and outside the conference room are student team cars hanging on the wall - super cool…

If Trump takes Greenland, what is the over/ under of number of countries boycotting Olympics? How many US athletes will sit out?

Happy Insurrection Day!

Will he wait long before invading Greenland?

And black, brown and indigenous live there…

Peace on Earth!

How many Americans watched? If his presidency were a reality show, would have long been cancelled…

@agu.org AGU25 in NOLA is a treat. Great to catch up with colleagues, meet new students and other Earth and Space scientists, learn new things, get inspiration, and share our science. Thanks AGU for convening and supporting our community!

Should be out of hospital tomorrow with a long “mostly back to normal” recovery but good prognosis and already feeling much better… first time in my life in the hospital - so a good run and thankful for the care.

Opportunity to reflect on many things as I recover in my local hospital’s pulmonary-cardiac unit for a few days… Can we please turn the page on the no-good-awful 2025!

Go Indiana… beat Buckeyes!

Corrupt, incompetent, unpatriotic, dishonest, petty, vindictive, mean… could go on.

Whole Paycheck

In US at least, the unwelcoming culture for most (the 70% of population that are non white men) is a big part of problem.

Wow… I’ve lived in ignorant bliss my whole career with regards to number of proposal rejections. Probably would be helpful to figure out that number to share with my group- though an example of resilience with privilege is not necessarily transferable to many.

(Riffing on the old Monty Python skit)…Oh yeah,as an old Gen X I have lead from gasoline and paint, asbestos, and second hand smoke from childhood plus we didn’t have an EPA so occasionally had a river catch on fire 🔥

For House to vote on Senate Bill, Johnson should no longer have any pretext to not swear in AZ congressperson…humm

That often works quite well for many things 😀

SNAP funded for the rest of FY26, three appropriations bills, and no rescission seems to be the sweetener for 8 DEMs, but not sure that would pass House….
