Follow me over to bluer skies and the place named after the thing you sew with. My username is my full name for both. I'm sad to leave this account, and I may still pop in now and again. But for regular geology fun, I hope you find me on the other platforms!

Wohoooo! JPL made contact with Voyager!
Good news: JPL is in contact again with Voyager 1, but on a very slow and faint link. Thanks to the great efforts of the Deep Space Network, which was able to pick up an incredibly weak S-band transmission.

TikTok is addictive—something the company specifically designed for. Their analysis says it only takes 260 videos (~35 min) to form a TikTok habit. ALSO compulsive use is tied to the loss of analytical skills, empathy, and a slew of other neg impacts. 😬

Got crazy lucky whale watching with the @smithsonian travelers in Iceland! Spotted something like 20 humpbacks and 2 minke whales! Also just a gorgeous day for whale watching all around. #smithsonianjourneys #onassignment
