Microsoft 365 memes.xlsx It’s true: My father-in-law is constantly on Teams meetings. He’s a pro: intros, sharing docs, muting people with loud sound in the background, etc In passing I asked him why he never shuts it down. I will never forget his answer… “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.'"

This is really gross. I'm so sorry to my NASA and NASA contractor friends and colleagues for having to deal with this. That threat at the end is particularly unprofessional and draconian.

Well some good news somewhere in the world… A court in Spain ruled that single parents are now entitled to the same amount of paid parental leave that couples get! Each parent got 16 wks…so now single parents get 32 wks. A HUGE transformative win!

Had the opportunity to film for Nat Geo Learning today at the Albuquerque Museum of Natural History & Science. IT WAS A BLAST! I got to feature a galaxy shirt I painted & even got to talk about my art! It's a strange time in the world but science outreach ALWAYS makes me joyful

I've mostly disappeared from here but had to come back to post this photo! Perks of living in Santa Fe include running into George R R Martin at your local medieval themed bar. What a fun evening! ✨

Excited 2 be embarking on another space mission journey this fall. This time we're off to the moon & from Canada!🌕🇨🇦 Its been heartbreaking to witness the state of science in US. I'm sad to have to leave my community. So grateful for another chance at being a part of a mission!

Just realized they selected my Badwater Basin photo for Vol 60, Is. 8 of Meteoritics & Planetary Science! Thanks for picking this photo. It was hella fun capturing this view. Glad to have a paper in this issue (although would've appreciated a lil name credit 4 the photo lol). 💙
