Final days of PhD dissertation writing, full draft due this week, crunch time…but not too busy to watch the @NASAArtemis moon fly-by! I’ve laughed (rogue Nutella jar), I’ve cried (a crater name Carroll)…what wonderful coverage! Thank you @NASA #moonjoy

Episode 28 of the ongoing Kīlauea summit eruption is over after 9 hours of continuous lava fountaining. The south vent did not appear to activate at all during this episode and has been completely covered by new deposits. Lava fountains reached approximately 1200 ft (365 m).

I wish to remain in a university space, forever; not just because I want to keep learning, but I just don't want to unlearn.

I’m here! Spending the next several months in Germany doing dissertation research on foreign missionary interactions with refugees…and also getting some pretty walks in, too, apparently ❄️❤️
