Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Cue up Pink Floyd's, The Dark Side of the Moon (!!) as they will soon be out of radio communication! And note the length of that album is about the same as the expected "radio silence" of #ArtemisII

So many WOMEN scientists in the Science Evaluation Room (SER) 🥳. And SER "giddy" as #ArtemisII astronauts have just broken the Apollo 13 record for farthest humans from Earth, while also sharing valuable visual observations of the moon already, and proposing names for two new features. 🧪 ⚒️

As a Christian, Easter reminds me that life is a gift, and we’re called to care for it.

Right now, climate change is putting that gift at risk for people and nature around the world.

That's why I see climate action as an act of love: for all our global neighbours and the home we share. 💚

Thank you for sharing in the wonder with me! Here is a recent photo of a hummingbird in her nest on our Esri campus. Basically it is eye level to a walkway so people on campus can walk by it every morning without disturbing her.

The absolute wonder and joy of the Artemis II launch 🚀 was THE highlight of yesterday. Adding to the wonder is today’s discovery of this tiny little abandoned birds’ nest 🪺, possibly made by a hummingbird, and with some of my dog’s fur! 😍🥹

Apollo 8 gave hope to the horrific year that was 1968 (admittedly it was December so some say it “saved” the year from being a total loss). Maybe #ArtemisII will help us get through the horror of 2026.
