No more cops in schools: Charlottesville Schools and the Police department have discontinued the agreement that sent $300k per year from the schools to the police department in exchange for “school resource officers”

@astromime has recently left NRAO to work at UVA and our loss is their gain. However, I'm glad that she will still be in the C'ville community and I can't wait to see what she does in her next role. #AmplifyBlackSTEM

...of what makes @astromime incredible. If you've had the chance to talk to her at an outreach event or personally, you cannot help but be moved by her contagious passion for diversity & inclusion as well as science education. #AmplifyBlackSTEM

[Melissa Hoffman @mhoffies]

I have had the pleasure of working with @astromime while she was at @TheNRAO in the Education and Public Outreach department and was a leader in our Employee Diversity Group. At EPO events Jessica's positive and confident attitude was evident and is only a part...

Today during the #Strike4BlackLives #ShutDownSTEM and #ShutDownAcademia, there is a campaign for #AmplifyBlackSTEM and #citeBlackSTE from @vanguardstem and I want to use my twitter-space to amplify @astromime.

Pretty freaking stoked about #EventHorizonTelescope ‘s news today:

[U.S. National Science Foundation @NSF]

You're looking at the first ever image of a black hole. It was captured by the #NSFFunded @ehtelescope project. #ehtblackhole #RealBlackHole https://t.co/6dglvqrvOs

@TheTylest Congrats!!

[Melissa Hoffman @mhoffies]

I have seen some amazing protoplanetary disc talks and I am definitely proud to work at @TheNRAO with ALMA data every time I see the HL Tau slide, which is is almost obligatory for a good disc talk. #AAS223

[National Radio Astronomy Observatory | NSF NRAO @TheNRAO]

Melissa Hoffman talking about her #AAS233 poster: "Correcting ALMA" using @GrnBnkTelescope (w/ Amanda Kepley).

Explores the benefits of combining #GBT and #ALMA #ACA total power array data to correct for missing short spacings. Cool!

[National Radio Astronomy Observatory | NSF NRAO @TheNRAO]

Getting ready to start our Town Hall Meeting at #AAS233 with updates about our instruments: #ALMA, #VLA, #VLBA, and #ngVLA. Q&A following the presentation.

[Melissa Hoffman @mhoffies]

Come to @TheNRAO booth at #AAS223 to chat with a real live Data Analyst about your ALMA weblogs (and any of your other burning radio astronomy questions)!
