I heard that eclipses get much darker than our eyes can see because they have time to adjust. This is what a total eclipse looks like if our eyes don't have time to adjust. One picture every 1-2 minutes for two hours. The house lights turn on only during totality. @spacedontwait
So excited to be attending @__katrinarenee's Physics PhD thesis defense today! Thank you, Katrina, for every word of encouragement you've given to me and so many others along the way. Congratulations!!

I received a cancer diagnosis in 2017 and I’ve wanted to write about navigating cancer alongside doing the work that I love. But it’s really hard to put the highs and lows into words. This short piece is a chip of that story. Thanks to all the people involved in this project ❤️
Our #CivicScience highlight this week is from @sdosemagen. Shannon shares her drive to normalize tools of science for use by everyone. Reflecting on her cancer diagnosis, she asks how the power of science can be put to use by all. Read the whole story at: civicsciencestories.org/

This is one of 4 audio entries within the Civic Science Stories. It's worth a listen. In the words of poet Mary Oliver,
“I tell you this
to break your heart,
by which I mean only
that it break open and never close again
to the rest of the world.”
Our third highlight is Gregory Carbonetti, a previous #CivicScience fellow who shares (via 🔊) his story --> Patient-Derived Xenografts: how might patients and medical scientists work together? Read the whole story at: civicsciencestories.org/
Thank you to @GO__DJ for this week's featured Civic Science Story.
This week we're highlighting Dominic Bednar's #CivicScience story --> In Pursuit of #energyjustice: how can science serve communities so that energy equity becomes another form of justice for everyone? Read the whole story at: civicsciencestories.org/

🚨 Hot off the press! 🚨
The @CivicSciStories publication is now available! Alongside 25 collaborators, I shared my personal story about my journey through, and with, science. We hope you’ll read, listen and share widely! civicsciencestories.org/ #openscience #civicscience

The @civicscistories publication (available now!) is a collection highlighting the personal stories and professional journeys of 26 contributors who share their love for, and concerns about, how we create a science that is more just, equitable, and fair 📖 civicsciencestories.org/
Learning journeys are very humbling.
I'm always tempted to invest more in looking smart than in doing smart things. Some of the dumbest things I've done in my life have been while trying too hard not to look dumb.
My newest conviction: I'd rather *look* dumb than *be* dumb.
