Where are my #spacephysics tweeps at? Reply to this thread if you do solar, heliospheric, magnetospheric, and/or aeronomy research (regardless of what body it’s at) with your name, position, institution, and what you do.

Tonight was the celebration at @JHUAPL honoring myself and the 97 other newly selected members of the Principal Professional staff. So proud to be part of this special group and very happy to have been able to share the honor with some of my closest colleagues.

Excited to have the opportunity to bring @JHUAPL expertise to the @NASA Mars Sample Return team! https://t.co/5gG0zKEwkM

Been having an exciting and busy day talking to folks about what going on with the Sun! #heliophysics #spaceweather

The Sun is going gangbuster! Ironically just as @JHUAPL was hosting a tabletop exercise with 30+ gov’t partners to examine the response to a realistic space weather event, folks were actually responding in real time to a string of CMEs!! https://t.co/uFONjxTTgw

Love it when your work takes you to the White House complex and you get to be in a meeting in the room where the Watergate tapes were made! Also, got some special presidential chocolates!

Before launch of the #EZIEMission, the EZIE team at #JHUAPL will make and freely distribute approximately 700 magnetometer kits (nicknamed EZIE-Mag) to teachers and students across the United States, with a specific focus on Indigenous schools. https://t.co/LXXRfCB82y

When the Sun's reach touches Earth ☀️ 💨 🌎

#JHUAPL's @astroian_phd takes a look back when #SpaceWeather made a big impact on history. https://t.co/BBHQeRf2p0

[Johns Hopkins APL @JHUAPL]

What is #SpaceWeather and how does it impact daily life on Earth? ☀️💨

#JHUAPL's @astroian_phd explains how experts research and understand space weather effects. https://t.co/BBHQeRf2p0

[Johns Hopkins APL @JHUAPL]

#JHUAPL's @astroian_phd explains the importance of understanding and predicting the Sun's flares and mass ejections, which can halt Earth's technosphere. https://t.co/BBHQeRf2p0

[Dr. Ian Cohen (he/him) @astroian_phd]

Reminder that aurorae are the most readily accessible and stunning reminder that the Earth and the Sun are connected!

[Dr. Ian Cohen (he/him) @astroian_phd]

So excited to have my (soon-to-be-former) @JHUAPL colleague @jdubspace heading to @NASASun!

[ARCHIVED - Dr. Nicky Fox @NASAScienceAA]

I am delighted to announce the selection of Dr. Joseph Westlake as our new @NASASun Division Director!

After years of experience as a leader and developing key heliophysics instruments and spacecraft, Joe has a wealth of experience that will help us further our understanding of the Sun and its connection to our planet. Welcome aboard! https://t.co/zMkUTBqu0K

[Dr. Ian Cohen (he/him) @astroian_phd]

Another great day on the Hill educating policymakers about the benefits and societal relevance of #Heliophysics research on behalf of the @AAS_Policy and @AGUSciPolicy.

[Dr. Ian Cohen (he/him) @astroian_phd]

Big shoutout to @NASASun for funding this study!

[Dr. Ian Cohen (he/him) @astroian_phd]

Excited to share this new paper that outlines a new mission concept to study the magnetosphere of Uranus. Check out the compelling science, a novel single-RTG CONOPS, and bargain price!

Excited to have been featured in this piece (with some very cool visuals) on how important it is to understand space weather.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

One day you wake up, and a gigantic solar storm has hit Earth, wiping out power and internet access for millions of people. This isn’t a scene from a science fiction movie—it’s a reality scientists are racing to mitigate. https://t.co/1jOfMDa4K2

[Dr. Ian Cohen (he/him) @astroian_phd]

Thanks @AGUSciPolicy! Always a fun time on the Hill advocating for #science!

[AGU Science Policy @AGUSciPolicy]

Our Local Science Partners are ready to tackle 80 meetings with their legislators today talking about the importance of science funding!
