On my lunch break I visited the Roman space telescope in the big clean room at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Still can’t believe this incredible view is just STEPS from my office! πŸš€

Last year, I launched a scholarship to help Grade 12 students from my hometown pursue college or university.

The applications left me hopeful & proud for the next generation of students.

My heart is full. If you can, I highly recommend doing something like this, it’s worth it!

A year ago today, I walked on frozen sea ice in #antarctica for the first time, and it was one of the happiest, most surreal days of my life! Being out there with the endless ice, the clear air, and the feeling of exploring something so wild and amazingβ€”it was pure joy.

What a wonderful planet πŸ’™

Research papers are full of surprises, like this gem.

A little sci-fi Easter egg in the middle of serious science? Delightful.

Thanks Benner et al., 2004 πŸ––

Just found an amazing opportunity for undergrads (wish I could apply...)!

NASA is offering a paid internship to train the next generation of scientists for the Europa Clipper mission. Interns will work with mission team members and be hosted at their institutions. Share with your keen undergrads!

One year ago today, I experienced the magic of midnight sun for the very first time β˜€οΈ

I'm not sure when I'll go back to Antarctica, but I want to with all my heart
