Today, the Trump Administration and Governor Youngkin announced plans to relocate HUD into NSF's HQ building in Alexandria. NSF thrives in and because Northern Virginia is a robust science and technology hub. Our community remains the ideal location for its headquarters.

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years. NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

Very excited to share that another few chapters of my dissertation are now published under open access! What lurks below the deep sediments of the Indo-Burman forearc margin? doi.org/10.1029/2024...

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

I’m not going to retweet that NOAA propaganda post about deep sea mining. Instead, I’ll tell you that I don’t know a single NOAA scientist who would promote deep sea mining in this way, because the available science we have does not justify exploitation of deep sea habitats for minerals.

Our #AwesomeCon panel "Exploring the Science of Sci-Fi Planets with Carnegie Science." I love how happy we all look in this photo!

Here is our government, just quietly disappearing things that scientists and the public use. Be loud about it. www.nesdis.noaa.gov/about/docume...

We come in peace!

This is extraordinarily disturbing and borderline Orwellian. It must stop, or we wind up in a very, very scary place.

A little about me: - studies earthquakes and plate tectonics - favorite place: Grand Canyon - will stop along any walk to look at the rocks - consumer of pasta, sci-fi/fantasy, and deep lore - collects rocks and minerals - forever geeking out over Magic the Gathering and Destiny 2

At long last, I have arrived from the other apps. Looking forward to sharing in science discussions here!
