Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Did not realize until right now that one thousand percent humidity was a metric that was possible to achieve

I'm actually fully saturated with students already, but I'd be happy to host postdoc fellows for the NHFP, the 51 Peg b, NSF AAPF, etc. Please feel free to reach out!

Your shot and your chaser

I wanted to share a side project I have been working on: CyRK github.com/jrenaud90/CyRK a #Python package that mimics much of the functionality of #SciPy solve_ivp but can perform #ODE integrations 100's x faster. If you are looking for a numerical integrator for your python project, check it out!

I am losing my mind

My doctor's new registration portal has old English as a preferred language option. Excited to discuss my aliments Beowulf style.

I am community sourcing a list of people who are actively in search of MS/PhD students in planetary science/astrobiology/exoplanets for Fall 2026. If you are such a person, please fill out the following google form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Back to the Corgi

The people who are going to make #HWO25 happen, and I am there as well!

I’m convening a session at a planetary science conference this fall and people keep withdrawing their presentations. So far every one has been withdrawn because of lack of travel support. It’s all folks coming from the US. This administration is killing scientific disciplines in big ways and small

The Mighty Nein have arrived! youtu.be/G7OCKYZjOcY?...

A group of 287 scientists and current and former NASA employees has issued a declaration lambasting budget cuts, grant cancellations and a “culture of organizational silence” that they say could pose a risk to astronauts’ safety.

Wife has a pretty cool job. #wolftrap

#Roman is starting to look like a real telescope!

Yeah, here's the graphical representation of how bad the ROSES consolidation of solar system programs is from research.ssl.berkeley.edu/~mikewong/bl...

For anyone unfamiliar, the ranks of GS-13, GS-14, and GS-15 are equivalent of assistant, associate, and full professor ranks among NASA civil servants. This is the letting go of over 2,000 faculty-level researchers. 🔭🧪

With cuts like these -- 5,000 planned cut staff through 2026, 1414 cut staff at Goddard Space Flight Center alone, where much of NASA Astrophysics is housed -- the United States effectively abandons its decades-old global leadership position in astrophysics.

My hobbies have gone too main stream

Cleaning out my old boxes at moms

Whoa. That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today. With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

Hi, it's me, a solar system scientist turned science communicator asking journalists for the thousandth time to stop giving a certain Harvard professor airtime about objects from outside our solar system. I know you know the one.

It's not just #NIH. It's not just #NSF. It's not just #NASA. The whole scientific community has to make clear that all science across fed agencies is being destroyed in the US. We can't just ask for our particular piece of the pie. The whole pie is being thrown out - saving your bit won't work.

Wild to watch NASA leadership admitting that they have not pushed back against the 50% cut to SMD

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

The Planetary Society will provide a NASA budget briefing on Thursday, June 12, at 12pm ET! We'll answer the top-rated scientific community questions, share everything we know, and give you our expert perspective on what's going on. Register for free here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

New paper day! In 'Near-future rocket launches could slow ozone recovery', we show that scaling up use of launch vehicles 🚀 has a point where the healing of the ozone layer is affected 🧪🛰️ Open access, free to read & share

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Today in examples of how obeying in advance gets you nothing. LPI took down all our DEIA related abstracts to avoid pissing off NASA. And NASA just killed LPSC.

*speechless horror* (Guys the NASA Exoplanet Archive is in this box. My job is in this box.)

The president’s proposed NASA budget does 2 things well: it cedes US leadership in STEM, and it funnels taxpayer dollars to companies and their CEOs. Moving the goal to Mars means that companies get to spend a LOT of tax dollars in development, rather than having to deliver actual results.

Announcing you are cutting STEM education programs by including a photo of kids learning from said programs.

there are 1,100 words in this article and zero of them are "bus"

Cool new paper out. Ryan Park and Alex Berne (with the help of a lot of other co-authors including a tiny role from me) pushed the GRAIL lunar gravity data further than before, notably updating the estimate of the k3 Love number. www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-st...

Unidata is responsible for developing, maintaining, and supporting software such as: NetCDF4 MetPy LDM AWIPS2 Public version GEMPAK THREDDS They also support realtime data access via a public EDEX server, THREDDS, and more.

🚨No NASA Postdoctoral Program awards will be made under the July cycle deadline 🚨 Unclear if this applies NASA wide or only GSFC. You will still be able to submit an application but it will be reviewed for selections with the November deadline. Start dates no earlier than Jan 2026.

US based scientists are not ok.

NSF, GISS, Civil Servants Bad day

Cory Booker and Susan Crawford to Democrats today

[hegseth] Just CONFIRMED w/CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch. [friend who once got a text from hegseth where he accidentally called the grinch the grink] was the grink there?

Quoth me from last year on the other place:

Let's me be clear. This would end space science in the US. A 50% cut will scramble everything, and the chaos will result in a greater than 50% cut in science. If this happens, China will lap us in a couple of years. #planetsci #planetaryscience #astronomy www.planetary.org/press-releas...

**This would end space science as we know it.** I’d probably be out of a job. Successful ongoing missions would be turned off. Future missions would be axed. Some research centers (NASA & non-NASA) would likely dissolve.

The National Weather Service took more than 150 years to build. Forget flight or the internet or whatever - public-service systems like this are the marvels of the modern world. Conceptual cathedrals, constructed across generations and dedicated to the public good.

This is a great program, and I am supervising one of the available positions! Please consider applying or sharing if you know anyone interested. Happy to talk about the job in DMs 🔭
