A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"

Okay, astro sky! 🔭 Has anyone successfully started a NSF AAPF application on grants.gov or research.gov? My advisee says it is grayed out/not available, but the program officer confirms that the AAPF should be open!
Hi astro 🔭 sky, I heard that the NSF Astronomy & Astrophysics Postdoc Fellowship (AAPF) is not being offered this year. Is that correct? I know it was cut in the PBR, but I wasn't sure what that meant in practice. Typically app would have opened Aug 15. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Jeremejevite is not a character in The Broken Earth Trilogy 🙁 nor one of the first minerals to condense out of protoplanetary nebulae, so I may just have to go for silver and its neutron-capture origins....
My heart is broken 💔 that corundum doesn't get a chance this year #MinCup25
Behold, the #MinCup35 bracket!

Use it to follow along, plan campaigns to support your favs, or make predictions on how voting will shake out. We start at the top left on September 1st, then alternate left and right as we work our way down.

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

Not that anyone is still on this topic, but I worked (it was not insignificant work) w/ my uni’s general counsel to appeal cancellation of my NSF grant. The appeal has been denied. Not a surprise and I’m sure 1000s of others are in the same boat but, hey, we all really wanted to do just do the work.
