Just stopping by your timeline in case you didn’t know that the Chief Science Advisors for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States - are all women 🔥
Globally, the onset of menstruation is often the end to education due to a lack of menstrual hygiene supplies. Here in the USA, many children miss school during their periods.
Providing menstrual supplies at school is an effective, low cost intervention to keep kids in school
Wait, there's more. VP pick Tim Walz has adopted his pets from animal shelters and has spoken out about the importance of adopting displaced pets in need. @GovTimWalz
Walz, 60, has drawn criticism for appearing older than his age. Walz responded on X, saying that it’s because he “supervised the lunchroom for 20 years. You do not leave that job with a full head of hair. Trust me.” 😅🤣

Stunning time-lapse video right through to the landing here from @CNSA_en:
As we mark the start of #PrideMonth, we're reflecting on how far we've come while recognizing the work still to be done.
There's space for everyone — all genders and orientations — in exploration and discovery.
Heads up! Be aware that Saturday, 5/11, around noon, 60 planes representing the history of general aviation will fly down the Potomac and over the National Mall. The permitted event is closely coordinated with the FAA, Secret Service, and other agencies. #WashingtonDC
It's @MissionToPsyche day 192, more than a half year in space and all's well. The spacecraft is ~670 times farther away from Earth than the Moon, and we're still using the DSOC laser communications tech demo back to Earth every Monday.
Happy @MissionToPsyche mission day 173! Tomorrow we officially begin thrusting with our Hall Effect thrusters. We've been testing and commissioning them and we're ready to go. Expect...almost nothing...sloooow acceleration! #PI_Daily
It's the #BloomWatch community's favorite announcement: we have Peduncle Elongation - the 4th of 6 stages on the path to peak bloom.

That’s how many AU away our @MissionToPsyche spacecraft is today! The spacecraft is now farther from Earth than Earth is from the Sun. Go Psyche! And our banners are still up at @NASAJPL.
