Thank you for sciencing with us!! #citizenscience

Hi Joanna! I feel like a new writer in many ways...but my first published book came out in 2011. Marketing for Scientists: How to Shine in Tough Times

Thank you for your time, your energy, your passion, your curiosity, your ideas, your friendship! It’s great collaborating with you!
Love,
Marc

Written scientific papers—sometimes as the lead author!
And right now we know you’re out there searching for new comets, mapping molten flows on the Moon, analyzing new data from the International Space Station, and much, much more.

Analyzed Ham Radio data taken during a solar eclipse.
Helped manage bobcat, bear and deer populations.
Taken hundreds of photos of ice in Alaska.
Operated ozone sensors on airplanes and at home.
Classified thousands of images of galaxies from NASA’s Webb Telescope.
...

Found eleven high-proper-motion objects,
Sent us hundreds of observations of noctilucent clouds.
Submitted hundreds of photos of sprites.
Spotted some near-earth asteroids, including one with cometary activity.
...

Discovered thousands of eclipsing binary stars.
Tracked naked dinoflagellates across the Antarctic.
Discovered fifty-one ultracool companions to nearby white dwarfs.
Mapped the height of forest canopies.
...

Greetings, NASA Volunteers and Citizen Scientists,
This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for you!
In just the last few months, you’ve...

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Did you send your photos to aurorasaurus.org?

Alright it was a bit overwrought. But you don't have to rub it in.

I’m thankful for the many who spent their days landscaping terraces whose beauty I will never admire but for one glance at the spine of a book I won’t read—but whose wracking labors have enriched me by allowing me the freedom to ignore them. #kidlitchat #writing

Shoutout to Emma S. Clark library in Setauket, NY. This was my hometown library growing up! #writingcommunity #booksky #kidlit

Bosons are fundamental particles that can be in the same place at the same time—just like the wakes from two ferry boats crossing at right angles. #physics #nature

NASA funded a new crop of citizen science projects! science.nasa.gov/get-involved... #space #news

You might find the next 3I/ATLAS at CometCatchers.net! It’s NASA’s newest #citizenscience project. #astronomy #space #astrophotography

Janet Jackson fans take note! NASA just launched a mission called ESCAPADE that will help us understand how Mars lost its water and its atmosphere. #space #astronomy #news
