(1/14) I'm about to tweet a (relatively unknown) story of something that occurred 33 years ago.

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@sliderulesyou That describes my kid. But he's still mostly feral. 😂

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@rover_18 Ahhhh I can't believe how big they are!!! I'll send you a pic of Robert in a DM! :D

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@rover_18 I am in shock, Ryan. I hope there is an opportunity for you to come back (if you want to!) in the future; the lab is a lesser place without you there. :( Hugs to you and your family.

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@MrsMalki I'm finally free of cold #748 (since September '23). It was a brutal fall. (We also think one or more of those might have been RSV.) Hugs and commiseration!

[Kim Steadman @SpaceGirlKim]

I still need to get a photo of the giant flag.

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@MrsMalki Ooooh we're getting our new one delivered tomorrow! Goodbye, bowl on the top shelf that catches the water that is dripping from the freezer and then freezing in the fridge...

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@JeffatJPL Merry Christmas right back at ya, Jeff! You are sorely missed!!!

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

(14/14) There are lots of stories of near-misses you don't hear, but this is one that hits very close to home for me.

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@rover_18 Good point! You’re right!

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

This has been months of work in the making. So happy to see the first tube on the ground!

One small drop for humankind.
@NASAPersevere has deposited the first of several samples onto the Martian surface! The #MarsSampleReturn mission could deliver some of these samples to Earth for in-depth analysis. https://t.co/epa4Be5oId

@marsroverdriver I'm sorry, hon. <3

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@marsroverdriver apparently we need a dog….

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@Mona5Tex @marsroverdriver @katielovestea @Ellethevillain No, just appropriate boundaries.

The replies to this thread are TOTALLY making my day.

I can’t believe I’m even writing this but just now I was trying to get my Christmas tree off the roof of the car. Clearly struggling. A voice calls out asking if I need help. I turn around. A HANDSOME, SHIRTLESS, TATTOOED stranger comes forward. (1/2)

@katielovestea @Ellethevillain We had one of the cooking pots. I remember my mom would put it on the floor next to my bed when I had a stomach bug in case I couldn't make it to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Thank goodness I don't remember which one it was.

@WallaceMarkS @marsroverdriver The Green Mile? Anyone? Anyone?

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

I’m starting to wonder if in 6 months, only the bots and advertisers will be tweeting and it will survive like that indefinitely.

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@claireschwrz @doug_ellison See, THIS is what I’m going to miss.

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@Joi_the_Artist Hugs from me, too!! I never joined Instagram so I’m not on there. :/

[Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad]

@cyberlyra @elakdawalla If you do, pls let me know?
