I’m in Las Vegas with my Tom F to see U2 tonight at the sphere, and I’m thinking about my favorite unlv student, @BoEdmundson !!
Have a great weekend- go get ‘em!

This coming week, Earth passes closer to Jupiter than in six decades.
Rising at sunset & setting at sunrise, look for it overnight — the brightest "star" in the sky.
Jupiter, at its closest, exerts a force of gravity on Earth 5x higher than when at its farthest
So this picture was taken in 1995, when I was a senior in high school. I didn’t even know about it until 2017. It really blows my mind how much we have learned about the universe since then. Excited about what we will learn from this new picture!!
👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B
Overheard in my kitchen:
“I will keep you company while you’re in the shower if you keep me company while I’m in the shower- but no looking at privates!!”
Also- my profile says wife of the year, and I take this seriously. My husband told me he had a free ticket to kerrville folk festival at 1 and was gone (for an overnight trip) by 2:30. His coolness involves some suffering!
Tonight, G is falling asleep, but will occasionally pipe up to ask me about the Jello I told him I would make for tomorrow. I wish I was as excited about ANYTHING as G is about his Jello.
@RunRocknRoll is so bad- I made a mistake on my registration and they can’t refund or transfer. So if you are a human that makes mistakes, this is not the run for you. And their contact # is not a working # (surprise!)
San Diego @RunRocknRoll is complete garbage. I was signing up for a half in San Diego on June 1, and accidentally signed up for the 2022 race (which was today!) easy mistake- awful website. Finally returned my email today- no transfers or refund!
I think this has been my favorite year of teaching so far. It was hard- new subject (team of just me!), Covid, students got Covid… but I had some amazing students and colleagues this year!
