There is a lot going on right now. But lest we forget, the attack on Science and public knowledge work is ongoing.

That's why I wrote this Editorial for @sciencemagazine published today -- what to do (and, importantly, what NOT to do) when your grants are suddenly cut or research funding is uncertain.

Turns out there is a history of this at #NASA, and we can learn from what works and what doesn't for the future of our scientific workforce and our public knowledge institutions.

Please read and share!

#NASA transports its Space Launch System rocket to the launch pad for the #Artemis2 mission, marking a significant step toward sending astronauts around the #moon for the first time since 1972. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/nasa-artemis-moon-rocket-rollout/ #Space #Artemis #SLS #Rollout

Faster than a speeding snail, Artemis II is making its way to the launch pad from the Vehicle Assembly Building.

Everyone is freaking out about Orion's heatshield and its ability to withstand a free return trajectory from the Moon.

But did they ever get around to fixing the O-ring issues on the Shuttle/SLS boosters? February can get pretty cold.

In November 2026, a historic milestone awaits humanity's Voyager 1. The legendary probe will reach the "one light-day" mark, meaning it will be so distant that communication requires a 48-hour round trip!

A rock in a rover on #Mars could prove the existence of life on other planets. #Trump wants to abandon it.

On Mars, in the belly of a rover named #Perseverance, a titanium tube holds a stone more precious than any diamond or ruby on Earth. The robot spotted it in 2024 along the banks of a Martian riverbed & zapped it with an ultraviolet laser.
