Meet Laura Judd, an air quality researcher at @NASA_Langley. π
She uses data from satellites and research aircraft to study air pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, which is a precursor to ozone near Earthβs surface. #WomenInScience #WomensHistoryMonth

In 2020, Nature endorsed a political candidate for the 1st time in its history: Biden over Trump. A new study finds that "undermined and polarized public confidence in the journal & the scientific community." Here's why that's misleading. https://skepchick.org/2023/03/study-scientists-endorsing-biden-made-trump-supporters-trust-scientists-less/
Don't allow anyone to gaslight you. The American Library Association (where I work, by the way) documented 1,269 demands to censor library books and resources in 2022, the HIGHEST NUMBER of attempted book bans since ALA began compiling data about censorship in libraries more than 20 years ago.
We must not remain silent as a tiny minority of loudmouths attempts to police our #libraries, #schools, and public institutions. https://uniteagainstbookbans.org/.

@bojanland @ScottSoCal It must be because it gets confused with mole.
Gangster waving gun frantically: βWhoβs the mole?! Is she the mole?β
Moll: Iβm not a mole! Iβm a moll!
Gangster: And what about you, Red Face?
Sith Lord: Iβm not a mole, Iβm a Maul!
Laura Judd came to NASA through the SARP summer internship program, where she assisted with @nasa air pollution research as a college student studying meteorology.

I'm still learning the etiquette here, so I hope this is okay?
My wife Jo & I run a small #ttrpg retailer called Bonhomie Games, and we now have a provisional move date for our long-awaited house and warehouse move.
I'd much rather gamers have stuff they like than I pay a firm to move tonnes of stock. So we've been drawing down stock for some time.
To help that along...
Code 'Bonhomie' gets you 5% off at our store over at www.bonhomiegames.uk
Good gaming to you!
This #NationalPuppyDay, we salute all the dog stars out there. Exploring is more fun with your best friend at your side. πΎ

I visited Zion National Park the day after I visited Death Valley for the first time. It was quite a contrast. Both parks are beautiful and deserving of more time than I had. Unfortunately, I didn't do the full hike up to Angel's Landing.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
