Formal portrait of now-retired NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson in her full white spacesuit with American flag and NASA insignia patches. She stands confidently holding her helmet, smiling warmly at the camera. The suit includes the Extravehicular Mobility Unit backpack, gloves, and detailed mission patches, with American and NASA flags in the background.

Color photograph of Peggy Whitson floating weightlessly inside the International Space Station during the Ax-2 mission. She is smiling broadly while posed in a dynamic zero-gravity position with one leg bent and arms extended, wearing a black and blue Ax-2 branded jumpsuit with the Axiom Space logo and mission patch. Earth’s blue atmosphere and clouds are visible through the large window behind her, highlighting her joyful expression in orbit.

NASA astronaut & biochemistry researcher Peggy Whitson was born #OTD in 1960.

Whitson holds the US space endurance record. Cumulatively, she spent 695 days in #space--the equivalent of a hypothetical round trip to Mars. First woman NASA Chief Astronaut, 2009.

Jay is the lead author on a fascinating paper I was involved in, about how male mimicry by female hummingbirds provides the first example of a type of signaling system that we predicted from theoretical principles over a decade ago.

This is infuriating.

And I believe it's due to anti-trans bias.

Two spirals, both alike in dignity,
In fair Virgo where we lay our scene.
From ancient light, new stars take birth,
Where hydrogen gas makes spiral arms gleam.
from forth the cosmic dance of stellar strife
A pair of star-crossed galaxies, dance in the night
