So glad to have helped bring our first-ever #Mindfulness trainer to STPF orientation. As a relative newcomer to #meditation, I know how transformative it can be in your personal and professional life. Try it!

[S&TPolicyFellowships @AAAS_STPF]

Bringing decades of #meditation practice to bear, @AmericanU adjunct instructor Dave Trachtenberg guided fellows at orientation through exercises to bring #mindfulness into interactions with others for improved #connection and #leadership.

“Are YOU excited for today?”
I am! It’s the ⁦@AAAS_STPF⁩ Year-end Summit and Send-off of the #STPF50th class. Each fellowship year comes to a close in August with a new crop of scientists and engineers equipped with #scipol skills and savvy.

“I give up” is a phrase that never crossed the minds of the team who developed @NASAWebb.

AAAS’ inaugural Bhaumik Breakthrough of the Year Award honors 3 individuals who supported the JWST community and whose persistence amid multiple setbacks ensured the mission’s completion.

.@NASA is planning an optical telescope as big as the JWST telescope to look for signs of life on Earth-like planets, perhaps by the early 2040s (!).
