    Scenes from a marriage In which my husband bemoans my life choices for Geralt, who spurns Shani yet again. (My version of Geralt is very oblivious to romance, what can I say.) I find this situation amusing but awkward? And why are wolves and bandits so aggressive?

    It’s not everyday my favorite Twitter streams converge but some days Neil Gaiman retweets posts about Perseverance Mars photos.

    Mars. I know I keep tweeting these rover pics but I am still in awe. These pictures are from MARS.

    Short of actual rocking, what is more rock and roll than holding your contraband guitar pick (found in your pocket) high in the air while your groin area is searched by the TSA? Fly safe, my friends.

    Wow—if this report is correct, the policy & implementation are horrific. the programs are aimed at sustaining the promising research of early career scientists allowed only 2 opportunities to submit. Extremely short sighted and ignorant, shoddy policy work. Way. To. Go.

    Bizarre operations from the Australian Research Council. Surprised I haven’t seen much discussion of this on Twitter from e.g. et al.

    Pssst... the vaccine is free 😉

    With more than 600 U.S. colleges and universities now requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination, an industry has sprung up offering fake vaccine cards. Sellers on the dark web are offering vaccine cards, certificates and passports — some for as much as $400.

    As a member of the science community & MICHIGAN constituent, I want to thank for their ‘yes’ votes on both the NSF for the Future Act & DOE Science for the Future Act. Your support is key to providing robust federal investments in research & the STEM workforce.

    The reason they never (rarely) show men’s team volleyball on us prime time: it’s largely guys skying shoulders a meter above the net crushing the ball off the faces of their opponents. Ouch.

    People cannot sit and be focused and curious about the cosmos if they are hungry, don’t have adequate insulin, are housing insecure, or afraid for their lives. And that time w/the sky is magical. It can change you. This is what I didn’t have space to say.

    No, there’s no reason to think the covid-19 vaccines could cause infertility:”To say that these 2 proteins are disturbingly similar would be the equivalent of saying that 2 people share the same social security number because both contain the number 6.”

    Congratulations, Paul, on your long record of accomplishments and wrapping them up on your terms. I hope your timing is all exactly everything you have hoped!

    At the NASA town hall meeting, Paul Hertz announces he’ll step down as director of NASA’s astrophysics division around the end of the calendar year after 10 years on the job. He says he’ll move on to his “next challenge” at NASA, to be determined.
