Check out an article I wrote about the research paper my team published earlier this year! My first time writing an article quite like this. I would love to know what you all think about a planet that's leaking its atmosphere theconversation.com/exoplanet-wasp… via The Conversation U.S.

Hearing Jose Hernandez at ModestoJuniorCollege in high school was a turning point in my life. His story, reflecting my family's hard work as farm workers, lit a fire in me. Today, being addressed as Dr. Villafaña by the man who inspired my academic path is a moment I'll always treasure. 💫


I am excited to share that I recently started an internship Corteva Agriscience Agriscience. I am looking forward to all the new chemistry, scientific techniques, and people I will have the opportunity to meet. Thankful for everyone that helped me along the way!



This past month flew by, with moving out of LA permanently, and starting my Astronomy Assistant internship Great Basin NPS through the Scientist in Parks program. 🤩




From sahil hegde: For today's first bite, we sat down for a conversation with @jorgito__moreno, the fourth Mexican astronomer to earn tenure at an American university! astrobites.org/2024/09/14/jor…
