And then noticing your 17 year old black cat is sitting on the other side of the window ledge on the 2nd story bedroom window. She was just chilling taking in the September dusk. Cat's back safely on the other side of the window.

Very much looking forward to speaking at this celebration of Eric's career. His work has led #astrochemistry research ever since his first paper in 1973. A great scientist, mentor, and friend.

'Michael Gilhaney,' said the Sergeant, 'is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principle of the Atomic Theory. Would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?'

Very sorry to hear of the death of Peter Higgs, Nobel Prize-winning physicist, 1929-2024. I still remember his visit to @QUBelfast to receive an Honorary Degree and his quiet, self-effacing manner. https://t.co/q8AJKgscY6 via @ft

Researchers in the McGuire Group (@astrochembrett) have revealed the presence of a previously unknown molecule in space. These discoveries allow us to better understand the development of molecular complexity in space during the star formation process.
