Congratulations to graduating @UAZFrankeHonors senior Akash Satpathy, who will be staying at @uarizona for graduate school in planetary science! Working with awesome students and meeting their families gives me hope for the future.

Mourning the loss of dear friend, colleague, and mentor Prof. Judy Pipher, pioneer of infrared astronomy and detectors. She was a giant. Judy, we are lucky to have been able to see the universe through your electronic eyes. womenofthehall.org/inductee/…
Judy in her natural habitat in the lab, doing radiation testing of infrared detectors at the UC Davis cyclotron.

Had a great chat with Michael Schulman of @NewYorker about why we don't need asteroid insurance but why we still need to look up. newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…

Deck the halls with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (that's the nasty stuff that makes the pretty green color)! Actually no, don't do that, terrible idea, pine boughs make way better wreaths. jpl.nasa.gov/images/pia15252…

The ending track by @boniver from #DontLookUp has special meaning to me: on other planets, it rains iron, liquid methane, sulfuric acid. The liquid water in Earth's rain is nothing short of amazing. There's no place like home.🌏 youtube.com/watch?v=YrVxcQp0…

Don't Look Up is out on Netflix tonight. I hope people like the movie. Fun fact: pic on the upper left screen is based on our 1st near-Earth asteroid discovery with the @NASA WISE mission, & the shot on the screen behind Jen Lawrence is one of the discovery pics of Comet NEOWISE.
