So, you’re hanging out in the cockpit of a 737. Waiting for taxi clearance…and you see this. 👀🇺🇸🔥

Somebody sent me this, which I think might just make your day. I don't know who to credit it to, I'm afraid, but whoever filmed it, thank you.
Happy Easter

Just after sunset near Flagstaff, Arizona, a developing storm cloud caught the last light of day in a rare way.

As the Sun dipped below the horizon, its rays passed through a thin veil of high-altitude ice crystals above the storm. Instead of a simple glow, the light split and spread into shifting bands of color that rippled along the cloud’s edge. From the ground, it looked like a painted wave suspended in the sky.

This wasn’t fire or aurora.
It was cloud iridescence...an optical effect that appears when sunlight diffracts through tiny, uniformly sized droplets or ice crystals. The swirling shapes came from upper-level winds stretching the cloud layers while the color followed the light.

Moments like this don’t last long.
As the Sun dropped lower and the angle changed, the spectrum faded back into gray, leaving behind only the memory of a cloud that seemed to glow from within.

Excited to share that my colleague and friend @kiana_aran I have just published an opinion piece in @TheScientistLLC: "A Call to Redefine Impact in Academia." As fellow members of the @NewVoicesNASEM, we have been passionate about reshaping how academia measures success to better drive innovation and societal good.

In the article, we argue that the current system, which is hyper-focused on publications and grants, often stifles risk-taking, collaboration, and real-world translation. Instead, we need to value mentorship, entrepreneurship, policy influence, and industry partnerships that turn discoveries into tangible solutions. Drawing from our experiences as academic entrepreneurs, we highlight the need for stronger university-industry ties, better entrepreneurial training for faculty and students, and policies that reward high-impact work beyond traditional metrics.

This isn't just about fixing academia; it's about equipping the next generation of scientists to thrive in diverse careers and address global challenges more effectively.

💭 We'd love to hear your thoughts, how can we collectively push for these changes?
