Another exciting day full of planetarium shows. We’re spending a day with a SD space camp week for K-6 students. A pic of grad student James Wiley and myself at the start of the day! #cosmictours

🚨 Call your congresspeople now to ask for support to fund @NASA and @NSF, protect these agencies from severe budget cuts, and let them know how important federal funding is for the astronomical sciences in the United States. aas.org/advocacy/get-i… #astronomy

When we’re not posing with the telescope, we are working on defining and cross-checking all interfaces. A team of us inside the best adaptive optics(AO) system in the world - Keck AO.

The Liger team had a great engineering trip to @keckobservatory. Years of planning and design go into an astronomical instrument, and of course a massive team effort!

A great piece on one of our family's closest friends! Terry Cherry is an AMAZING person and officer, and I'm so proud to see her dedicated, hard work celebrated and advertised. Police Departments around the nation should take a look at her recruitment model.
