Bird of the Year voting opens tomorrow, and it is an outrage the takahē is yet to win. I'd like to take this opportunity to urge you to vote for the hide-and-seek legend from Fiordland, the roundest birb, and the one true pick for all you railfans out there

Life update - I’m moving to Sweden in a couple of weeks to work at the Swedish Institute for Space Physics! Def not easy to say goodbye to Boulder, I’ve had a great time at LASP and will really miss everyone here, but it’s time for a new adventure and I’m very excited to go back to the Nordics 🇸🇪

kicks off today! can’t wait to see everyone 🪐🔭

I was officially conferred my doctoral degree! The hat symbolises liberty and the sword symbolises the scientist’s fight for truth, very special Finnish tradition 🎩 🗡️ 🇫🇮

Incredibly exciting! Very happy that we’re able to provide student travel for this workshop 🛰️

Abstract submission is now open for the sixth International Workshop on Instrumentation for Planetary Missions (IPM-2025)! This workshop will be hosted in Boulder, CO, on Aug 4 - 6 2025. We are soliciting abstracts on instrumentation and enabling technologies for planetary missions.

yay new plasma data in near-Venus space!!

🧵 I live in Los Angeles. We have not had to evacuate and are safe, but like many people here, I have friends who have lost everything. I realize I can't combat the firehose (see what I did there?) of bullshit spewing about this disaster from internet and media sources, but I'll say this:

Dear planetary scientists of #AGU24, I've been working on a crowd-sourced handbook for students and early career scientists for the hidden curriculum, helpful tips, and best practices of our field. Please al check it out, and add to it if you can! github.com/belindathemo...

After calling them out as content scrapers I have been blocked by @nasauniverse.bsky.social @nasahubblenews.bsky.social and @marscuriosity.bsky.social All three blocked me in the span of two minutes, confirming they are scrapers and probably run by the same person.
