I keep my sanity by painting. Art supplies are expensive, so I started selling and taking commissions here and there. Check out Blue Dot Watercolor (named in honor of our planet) to support my addiction!

After a challenging week, this review made my day. I need to print it out and use it as an affirmation on bad days.

This, from my dear friend (and recent @AAS_Office President) @ProfKelsey is a beautiful, profound, moving read. An extraordinary meditation on our connection to the cosmos and the biggest questions that animate us. Highly recommend read (and gift!).
Friends! A @NatureAstronomy review of my book just came out 😊.
Here is a clip from the full review, which you can find here:

So anyway, given that tomorrow is the biggest shopping day of the year, I have a GREAT idea for the people on your list who have “everything”, because they probably don’t have this yet!

Why does our universe contain something instead of nothing? In order to answer that question, we first need to explore the different types of nothing. newscientist.com/article/245…

Want a different existential question to give your brain a break from politics?
Why do we have “something” instead of “nothing”?

Next #SETILive: Into the Unknown
The Quest to Understand the Mysteries of the Cosmos
TODAY, 21 October, 2:30 pm PDT / 5:30 pm EDT
The cosmos is full of huge questions: "What caused the Big Bang? What happens inside black holes? Are there other dimensions?" Scientists have been working to answer these questions, but sometimes, we feel like the answers are unknowable. Astrophysicist @ProfKelsey contemplates what this paradox means for science, particularly where philosophy and even religion come into play. In her latest book, "Into the Unknown", Johnson takes us to the edge of our understanding.
Join communications specialist @planetarypan as she chats with author Kelsey Johnson about science, philosophy, and our quest for answers that may not be available.
