Coming that way for a brief visit in a couple of weeks and that is the background energy we’re looking for.
Yay, Alex!
It’s a good question. I read somewhere that they had indicated earlier that they were going to increase borrowing against their endowment. I think that may have been their preparatory plan realizing all of this *waves hands wildly* was coming. Didn’t see specifics of how that $$ would be used though

Evidence from MESSENGER suggests that the surface of Mercury is very low in iron; minerals either formed under extremely oxygen-poor conditions, or were smelted as they erupted (maybe both). If you look up Mercury tonight, know that soon ESA & JAXA's Bepi Colombo will unlock even more secrets.

Last night, President Trump spoke on "The Renewal of the American Dream" but left out the reality—science is under attack. A shrinking federal workforce, stalled climate leadership, and halted research threaten progress. Read more and get involved: buff.ly/pB0tmi5

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist.
And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation.
A 🧵:
This is awful and heartbreaking. I am so sorry. Our colleagues and our nation deserve so much more than this.
The last few years brought a wave of new talent to the federal government. When combined with the know-how of long-serving Federal servants, this reinvigoration of the federal workforce was game changing. I know because I saw it first hand. 🧵

My PhD advisor warned me that missions are a lot of work. But this is the fun kind of work, and I'm really proud of our effort to put a student-built satellite in orbit!
That's not good... maybe the impending usual date of release for ROSES involves an update... but in the past the old one usually didn't disappear, if memory serves.
So the article is back up. Which is good! …But weird.

And they aren’t the only place that they exist. For MExAG at least there were backups of virtually everything offline except maybe some of the annual meetings materials, and even most of that is probably saved. A bloody waste of time to archive & rebuild this stuff, but it can be done, some quickly.
We sat around wondering why they play this game. If it wasn't for the local kid playing in his 3rd straight, I'd probably have done my taxes instead of watching.
Too bad you missed Spring Training... Another time...
