They should invent an applying for jobs system that is not soul-crushing. Has anyone tried this

this moment of western powers recognizing palestine is precisely the moment we must not let them normalize the hypocritical status quo where they speciously nod to palestine and simultaneously criminalize advocacy against the genocide of palestine. we must see this as an opportunity to keep pressing

I haven’t said this in a while, and it bears repeating: it is actually very easy to not work with abusers and rapists in the field! Moreover, we owe it to ourselves, our colleagues, and our future.

In light of the increasing prevalence of pepper balls and tear gas at the Broadview site, I just want to reshare this toolkit from Vision Change Win, which includes best practices for treating tear gas and pepper spray exposure. You can also find this info in the appendix of Let This Radicalize You.

A picture worth a thousand words. “None of us have ever done this before. All of this is new, and I just wanted to stand up as American and be seen and make my presence felt.” - 65-year-old Evanston resident Curtis Evans, holding an American flag.

The agents who assaulted the crowd and seized multiple protesters while many rounds of pepper balls were fired at us move back into the facility.

Dreamed that a conference needed me to give a talk on the "Hollow Charon Theory," which is like flat Earth except in this case it's that Pluto's moon Charon is hollow. Might be my new conspiracy theory

If this isn't your response to doomerism I don't want to know you

I took Monday-Wednesday off for my first true vacation in years (no emails, no phone calls, no ability to do work, minimal online capacity) and I think what I'm currently experiencing is Being Mentally Well

Was awake for almost 36 hours while traveling yesterday and woke up today to find I was briefly afflicted with true genius in my notes app

Walked past a “grandparents for climate action” protest near my conference and it did raise a little dissonance! I do wish the hundreds of planetary scientists in Helsinki right now were interfacing with climate action!

One thing a conference will do is give me a Friday morning talk! And I’m ready!!

NASA has a proposal to re-commission the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft for the exact purpose. It's healthy, & up for a 2029 mission—total cost $200 Million, $50 Million already spent. President Trump wants to kill it. Here's more on the OSIRIS-APEX mission - osirisrex.arizona.edu/osiris-apex

Deleted my doomer post! I will maintain my sciencesona all week folks!!!

The next two days of #EPSCDPS will be full of ice giants science! Prepping to give my next talk tomorrow about a new paper: how we can use Ceres as an analog for some intriguing features on the moons of Uranus

I think there’s a fine line between cultivating joy by sharing the science we do with each other in a time of fear and uncertainty, and cultivating ignorance and nihilism by pretending that we can all just talk science to each other and be immune from society. Don’t love the second one!!

Spark Space is preparing to host high school students for the first exams in 2 years, and they need our help! Please give and share widely if you can: chuffed.org/project/spar...
