It’s not every day that @NASA intentionally smashes a spacecraft into an asteroid, but with Universe Sandbox it can be!

Watch the #DARTMission collide with asteroid Dimorphos and alter its orbit over and over again

My fiancée said the bread I made while she was away (following her recipe) was really good.

I think this means I’ve been successfully rehabilitated and can be released back into the wild.

Tonight I learned about the beautiful piece of art that is Monster Prom and my life is unequivocally better for it.

So psyched to see Counting Crows at the #FOTL2022! Upgrade for my birthday?

I find Windows telling me that “My PC is monitored and protected” more threatening than reassuring.

@orzelc Thanks @orzelc!

And my dissertation was accepted! I think that means I’m officially done with grad school. I don’t there’s any more forms to turn in or anything. Now where did I put that scotch...

[Brent Shapiro-Albert @bshapiroalbert]

5 weeks after passing my defense, my committee has signed off on the dissertation edits, and I just officially submitted it. I think I deserve a nice scotch. (And another once it’s officially accepted)
