Vice presidential candidates with rural bona fides have garnered plenty of attention this election cycle, but political strategists from both parties recognize that down-ballot races may prove just as important when it comes to rural votes. dailyyonder.com/this-year-in…

As we get closer to the election, I'm excited to share my first story for @dailyyonder from earlier this month.
In a new study of counties that have historically trailed national growth trends, rural fared better than urban. Still, experts don’t think a recent economic boom will change the way these rural counties vote in November. dailyyonder.com/analysis-som…

☀️ I wrote this mini episode for NASA’s flagship podcast, Curious Universe, just days before the total solar eclipse crossed North America this past April. It was certainly a bright moment from my time at @NASAGoddard!
It’s #NationalInternDay! Interns are key to telling NASA’s story — just ask NASA audio team intern Julia Tilton! Julia helped write, produce, and narrate this Curious Universe episode that helped people prepare for last April’s total solar eclipse: go.nasa.gov/3WnhpVw

Arresting journalists prevents them from reporting. It’s great that the @NashvilleScene journalist arrested while covering a protest at Vanderbilt yesterday was released without charges. But he never should have been arrested in the first place. nashvillescene.com/news/pith…

I had a great time at the 2024 AAS Goddard Space Science Symposium 🔭You can find my coverage of the event here:
Goddard’s workforce and industry and government partners gathered at the 61st Goddard Space Science Symposium with the American Astronautical Society to discuss the future of space. Panels focused on AI and science results from the OSIRIS-REx mission. go.nasa.gov/3xhnsSw

It was a pleasure meeting @Space_Station astronauts yesterday and covering their visit to Goddard 🚀💫Check out my piece and a behind-the-scenes photo:
Three astronauts from the @Space_Station Expedition 69 crew visited Goddard on March 18. Highlights included the @NASAHubble Operations Control Center and a view of the clean room where engineers are building @NASARoman. go.nasa.gov/43qsrwr

Check out my story in today’s Image of the Day on NASA’s Earth Observatory:
The Arctic is getting more rainy days 🌧️ Snow in the Arctic is being replaced by rain as temperatures warm, a @nasa study analyzing three and a half decades of rainfall trends shows. These changes can impact sea ice, melting, and weather patterns. go.nasa.gov/49YsfXM
