In just a few short weeks, I will be starting my dream job as a professor of physics, planetary, and space sciences when only a year ago I wasn't even sure if I could finish my PhD. This doesn't feel real.

@TheCosmiChemist Welcome to Asia, the civilized part of the world! Come visit Taiwan when your schedule allows; we'd be happy to host you at ASIAA 😀

@ArtCandee Americans and their guns. This won't stop happening

Oppenheimer lied to you.

He wasn't the hero who saved the Manhattan Project.

When his reactor was failing, he needed a Chinese woman to prevent nuclear disaster––that he later erased from history.

Here's the true story of physics' greatest cover-up:

[Florida Tech @FloridaTech]

Florida Tech’s Ortega Observatory is joining forces with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (@ExploreSpaceKSC) to bring enhanced astronomy programs to the Space Coast community through a new portable robotic observatory!

@HappyYugina We're right next to Orlando!!!

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@sethajacobson I feel bad for all the trainees in the field right now! Getting that first thing funded is the hardest

@PetePuleo Congrats!!

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@aussiastronomer Congrats!! 🥳🥳 I still remember your talk at ExSS V in NZ, which was definitely one of the highlights!

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@kbatygin Just submitted my first ever paper with a student to Icarus!

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@IEecologist Any tips on submitting to NSF grants/fellowships!?

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@cornerof_thesky @UMDAstronomy @UofMaryland Congrats!! 🥳🥳

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@VoltarCH Which journal? This is insane.

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@_astrofaith I'm sorry this is happening to you. I know that your papers are fantastic. In 2020-2021, I was rejected entirely by all the places I applied for PDs and I had delay my defense and try a second round. Keep at it!

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@miquai Something that should be done daily. We tend to miss the wonders right in front of us =)

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@AstroThayne @jazztronomy Okay, but my point was that people may believe whatever they want despite overwhelming evidence for the flip side.

[Howard Chen @SkepticalBlver]

@Yoav_Rotman There are also Holocaust deniers and flat Earthers everywhere. It's difficult to have everyone hold the same viewpoint, especially the evidence can support either side. Very sad indeed.
