@NASAWebb @janerrigby My mom saw you on TV and was like “hey Traci, is that your friend Jane?

[Dr. Traci Johnson @tracijo32]

@rclivermore Glad you’re both safe!

[Dr. Traci Johnson @tracijo32]

@janerrigby @TheNRAO We put balloons in some of our mentors offices, but I wouldn’t call that clever. This is a good one.

@KateNapier7 I’m glad this bot still exists despite Elon’s bullshittery. Awesome work! I wish you luck on the data reduction and analysis.

I had the misconception that doing a PhD was just an extension of undergrad. So I put 99% of my effort into classes first term. I definitely learned that was the wrong choice.

This! I see many undergrads who had a dream of getting a PhD from very young... who are missing the reality of what doing one means, or what they're good for besides 'a fancy title'... & I find it difficult to get across that you must like DOING research or a PhD will be hell.

Hey @elonmusk . How hard was it to do a simple environmental impact study for your Starlink satellites? You’ve managed to pollute scientific research funded by millions of tax dollars, because no one ever expected a small dick to ruin it.

@CartaMonir Get it! Can you ask him if the taxi drivers are as bad as they are portrayed in MSP?

[Dr. Traci Johnson @tracijo32]

@janerrigby Congrats Jane!

@RPMAstronomy I refuse to have sympathy for a native Californian on this issue.

@janerrigby @MIT I just joined an LGBTQ rowing crew in Chicago. Nowadays I just stare at my hands because they are covered in blisters or I can’t tell left from right because neither starboard nor port start with L.

Antony is jacked @QueerEye

@QueerEye is it just me or does Antony have biceps for days?

@kerensharon1 The one thing I hate about leaving academia is that summer is just a temperature trend.

@janerrigby We’re the same age’

@kerensharon1 There was one morning when I woke up to hear them hee-hawing. It sounded like Tuscan raiders yelling and I thought I was on Tatooine.

I’m terrified for when astronomers start using ChatGPT to create acronyms for their research projects. #ChatGPT #astronomy
