WRITING IS FUN AND COOL

I used the semester break to make some progress on the space group diagram project: now all space group diagrams of the trigonal crystal system (space groups no. 143 - 167) are complete! They are available as PNG, PDF, and PPT at: crystalsymmetry.wordpress.com/space-group-... Enjoy!

Reading this on loop today.

I THIRST for GEOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE. 🪨 I must understand the rocks.

I gotta say, you could do a lot worse than watching "Quinn Redshift" on YouTube.

This simple drawing is still one of the most shared images I’ve made. Reo Grayfox was telling me his story, and said those lines staring straight into his fursuit's eyes. Hearing personal stories like this makes you appreciate the vastly diverse reasons why the furry fandom is essential to so many.

Spectroscopy is an incredibly useful tool for #NASAWebb to study objects in more depth. For example, transmission spectroscopy is useful for characterizing the composition of exoplanets’ atmospheres: webbtelescope.pub/3uJUKoW 🔭 🧪
