The Edge of Space-Time with Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein Podcast Episode · Pale Blue Pod · April 7 · 1h 5m

Happy pub day, @chanda.blacksky.app!! 🥳 I’m so excited everyone gets to read THE EDGE OF SPACE-TIME!

And now they can hear our conversation about it, too

Science journalists: it’s not actually your job to be uncritical cheerleaders and propagandists for science and science policy. It is your job to inform the public about what is happening. Everyone should know about the Trump space policy directives!!!! 🧪 #scicomm

Moiya’s hand holding a copy of THE EDGE OF SPACE-TIME: particles, poetry, and the cosmic dream boogie. The cover is cream with a circle made of two very different halves. The left side is a black and white spiral image. The right is a rainbow gradient. They meet in the middle at a stark dividing line

Got my hand on an early copy of @chanda.blacksky.app’s EDGE OF SPACE-TIME!!

It’s 70° in New York and people are saying no to AI 😍☀️

I got to read an early copy of THE EDGE OF SPACE-TIME and I’ll loudly be recommending it to everyone who’s ever been curious about the cosmos. Both of Chanda’s books altered parts of my brain in the best way

Sorry, mischa, it’s what Book wants

Omg YES!!! That would actually be so fun

What is Mythology: An Astronomer's Perspective Mythology is science, or at least humanity’s earliest attempt at it. Both seek to answer all of the big How and Why questions that can only be asked by keen observers of the world around them. Both ad...

What is myth? To me, myth is science, at least an early form of it

I miss you too and thank you for understanding that I belong to Book now 😆 😅

I learned about this from an episode of Murdoch Mysteries in college and was haunted by it for months haha

Congrats on the ranking!

Mothers of Invention A rollicking, enlightening examination of humanity’s changing relationship to creativity, written from the perspectives of the Greek Muses. The thing that ...

I just discovered the official emoji of MOTHERS OF INVENTION 🏺🏺🏺

The Unicode consortium will just add anything 😂 apparently the amphora has been an emoji since 2015

Anyway, preorder my book now before you forget!

Love! And your “BOOK” cutout is so cute!

Screenshot of Moiya’s tweet from 3/15/18. “Some people think of the Ides of March as the day Caesar was assassinated. I’ll always think of it as the day I pooped in the Vatican”

Two cats technically cuddling. One is under a white blanket on the edge of a couch. The other is on top of the white blanket with his head and paws resting on the first cat!

8 years ago today, I pooped in the Vatican. Today, my two cats cuddled for the first time. A blessed March Ides to us all 🙏🏽

Thank you! 😊

globular clusters and creative cores I’m going to tell you about two things that blew my mind. For the past month or so, I’ve been making my way through Moiya McTier’s excellent book, The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy. It’…

I love it! I should probably go pre-order the new one . . .

Last weekend, I wrote a piece inspired by a single line in "The Milky Way":

What a nice sentiment! Now I’ll be thinking about how we survive through our creative cores 💫

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the Milky Way 😊 The narrator in the next book is much less sassy! 😆

I am currently reading Dr. McTier's "The Milky Way," and it is so so good. Looking forward to her next book!

I should have added the link. I’m still stretching for book launch season 😅 let me do my warm up laps

Moiya smiling and holding a copy of mothers of invention. The cover is orange with black trim and the title is in white. Broken pieces of ceramic depict inventions like the light bulb and fire.

My first time holding my new book!! 🥹🤓

You can preorder MOTHERS OF INVENTION to tell my publisher I deserve a big marketing push 🙏🏽

I think it’s cool that some people focus on curing disease and some people focus on understanding what animals are up to and some people think about our place in the universe and how things came to be the way they are. People are driven by curiosity and I promise you you don’t want it any other way

🥰 thank you, friend!! 💙

Thank you! And yay! I hope she likes it and lets you borrow it when she’s done haha

5 months until MOTHERS OF INVENTION hits the shelves, so it’s time for a new profile pic!
