Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.
STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

My 3rd graders took quick notes during a live science lesson, in which we reviewed the scientific method @the_Madeleine
I love the notes!

Virtual Science @the_Madeleine & a ready-to-learn young scientist! Reviewing the Scientific Method through a famous experiment, plus a few twists, turned out to be great fun, and yes, a mess. @Madsciencelove @AsterKhurram @oakdiocese @MrsMcMillanEd @Cyndiburnett #distancelearning

This Zoom Slidedeck hack is AMAZING! I can see all the students working in real time and check in their breakout rooms to answer questions or help. Lots of collaboration and utilizing the online textbook. #ushistory #nlmusd @norwalk_high – at Whittier, CA

Happy #MayTheFourth from me and #BabyYoda! I was lucky enough to work at @Lucasfilm_Ltd and @ILMVFX on #StarWars projects from 1993-2005. I look back on those years fondly and look forward to their plans for the future of the franchise. #MayThe4thBeWithYou #TheMandalorian

Being stuck at home can be challenging. When I lived on the @Space_Station for nearly a year, it wasn’t easy.
A few tips from what I learned then that will help us now as we stay in & work together to get thru this #CoronavirusPandemic.
