Officially signing off on my last day at the @smithsonian. It’s been an honor to be the voice of this institution online for nearly eight years.
So long and thanks for all the fish. It's the last day of #WorldOceansMonth! This @SmithsonianArch photo was taken by Carl Hansen in 1989 at @stri_panama, where we've been doing groundbreaking research on tropical ecosystems for decades.🌊

There are too many people to properly thank, but to anyone who supported me, and trusted me, and encouraged my bad jokes: thank you. I see you, and I’m so grateful for this adventure.

🌊🦀Today's International Horseshoe Crab Day! Did you know: 🥚 One horseshoe crab can lay ~4,000 eggs. 🐦 Many shorebirds can’t survive without horseshoe crabs. 🦂 They are not true crabs. 🚑 You may be alive today thanks to a horseshoe crab. ✏️STORY: s.si.edu/3muQGFe.

Shine bright like a ULIRG 💎 With the light of a trillion suns, an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) shines in the latest @NASAWebb image. Located 250 million light-years away, this target is actually the result of two colliding spiral galaxies: go.nasa.gov/3L7dojN

Folks, I’m sincerely sorry that we made your favorite donut more skinny. As a consolation, I believe it is more tasty. #NewBHimage

Just feel like more people should see these absurd seed catalogs from the late 1800s in @SILibraries' collection: s.si.edu/3KwXEGf

Soaked up some horticulture this morning with @SIGardens. 🌸 These saucer magnolias in the Haupt Garden are about 45 years old!

That’s home. That’s us. 🌎 This image dubbed the “pale blue dot” was taken by @NASAVoyager today in 1990. As the spacecraft sped toward interstellar space, it captured Earth from 3.7 billion miles (6 billion km) away. Find out 10 fast facts: go.nasa.gov/3E7eW9m
