All good stuff. This project gives hope for the future. If results from Dragonfly on Titan are half as spectacular we have much to look forward to. Be sure to check out the interactive map on link provided.
Percy now stands at the westernmost point ever reached during her journey. #Mars 🧪🔭

This article on downward pressure from Trump admin to defund Harvard School of Public Health is a concern.
'... hardest hit by the Trump administration’s cuts to federal research funding. In the spring, essentially overnight, the school lost about $200 million in support...'

Impt story. Not just Harvard. Always astounded me how various stakeholders haven't pushed for reform of soft $ system making US Public Health & med schools vulnerable for ages to such a Trump admin move. Plus anyone in the health sci's knows it exploits faculty & prioritizes grant $ vs. good sci. 🛟🧪

Thorough analysis on the state of NASA.
My latest "Space Pundit" Substack looks at what #Trump has done to #NASA this year. Since 2015, NASA has aired an annual "State of NASA" address. That didn't happen in 2025, as Trump cut NASA's budget by about 25%.

The State of NASA
Nearly eight months after Donald Trump resumed the presidency, the space agency still has no permanent administrator, no direction, and no discernable policy.

Another day. Another incoherent Trump monologue. He fails to comprehend how trying to place business with companies in
the USA (from overseas) is almost impossible because the US
business culture is not geared to DELIVER outside the U.S.A.
That is the reality.

2024 was the 27th year in a row that the Greenland Ice Sheet shrank, losing ~269 gigatons of ice each year since 2002! 🧊🔥

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
