New #LGBTQ #pride #pins at #LPSC2024 ... come find me wandering around, in sessions, or before the QUIPS trek to dinner. Let me know how you like the design and if we should try for a larger run (or tweak it first)!

@TheEarthStory The carpet is also a "joy" to roll suitcases on.

[Stuart Robbins @DrAstroStu]

@foxworth Apparently I don't know what year it is ... that should be 2024 KS larger run(?), not 2023. But I'm not giving Musk money to enable editing.

@this_is_tckb @YouTube They are all streamed, but only for registrants.

[Lucy Mission @LucyMission]

Last fall, Lucy snapped some images of the Moon as the spacecraft carried out its first Earth gravity assist. This week at #LPSC2023, Lucy scientist @DrAstroStu shows how the team is using these images to prepare for observing the unknown surfaces of the Trojan asteroids.

[Stuart Robbins @DrAstroStu]

Already heard from several people who would not have come to #LPSC2023 if masks had not been required. Signs say they are, but half of people aren't wearing them, including your staff. Bad from @LPItoday ... very bad form. Bait-and-switch.

[Stuart Robbins @DrAstroStu]

Have I just been unlucky? AV in both rooms I've been in this afternoon takes several minutes to bring up speakers' slides. #LPSC2023

[Stuart Robbins @DrAstroStu]

@colddirt @PlanetDr I'm guessing 50% this afternoon.

[Stuart Robbins @DrAstroStu]

So, #LPSC2023 ... masks required or not? Signs say yes, staff says "that's a suggstion." Hard to get around "MASKS REQUIRED" signs and "MASKS REQUIRED" when signing up. People made travel plans assuming masks. @USRAedu @LPItoday

[The Reality Check @trc_podcast]

Iran protest misinformation. Did medieval peasants work less than us? Slugs with @DrAstroStu. It's a new TRC!

Nuclear power is racist, sexist and ageist? Lenses, lenses, lenses with @DrAstroStu. It's a new TRC! https://t.co/7SQDQ4mGwM

Here's @LucyMission during today's Earth gravity assist. Screengrab from observations made by @plutoflag.

@lukedones @WaltHarris @ImpactCraters Cute.

[The Reality Check @trc_podcast]

What's up with these images from the James Webb Space Telescope? We ask @DrAstroStu. Was the Rogers outage "most" of Canada? Adam digs in.

When you are waiting for an airport shuttle at your hotel, at 6:30 AM, and someone walks up to you asking if you have any rolling paper. #California

. @dominos — You have a big problem with store 6120 in Omaha. Order placed, called an hour later, said they’d remake it and would be rushed out, called 45 minutes later, they said it was never made, I said cancel, and literally 1min later I got 80-minute-old pizza delivered.🙄

[Canadian Space Agency @csa_asc]

What if we launch a new line of products available today only?

Any recommendations for more items? We know how creative you are! 😉

[Stuart Robbins @DrAstroStu]

@thehill Maybe you shouldn't keep reposting stories when there is much more recent information. More than half of the mandatory evacuation area has been declared safe, and there is no change since 11:08pm last night local time. https://t.co/gVPVlY9UQU

@rachaelhilary As always. They expect the petting and the scritching and wonder why I was gone for so long and not serving them.

[Stuart Robbins @DrAstroStu]

My roommates were happy to see me when I got home from #LPSC2022
