Astronomer question: Can you suggest any mother/daughter, sisters, mother/son, father/daughter, or sister/brother sets of astronomers (past or present)? We're trying to put together a post for the WiA blog and would love to hear about more!

@AstroBailin Vera Rubin’s daughter also became an astronomer, I think?

Our lobbyist has asked for a campus exemption to the new ‘Don’t Drag Law’ — the current language would prevent wearing robes at graduation.

@ass_deans It is goode to hear that ye hath given up yon fight. Where would the new regime like their shipment of traditional Middle English dictionaries delivered? We’re always hear to help, at the library.

@ericgt79 @megan_l_rogers @Minitab @GrinnellCollege I forgot to add: the proper form of introduction is, “I met a Grinnellian named [X] who said [Y].” No last name required. Grinnell has been a haven for neurodivergent students since long before psychology invented the term. The college accepts it 🤷🏻‍♀️; the town is resigned to it🤦🏻‍♀️.

@ericgt79 @megan_l_rogers @Minitab @GrinnellCollege If you do contact Vince, just tell him Meg sent you. I just sent him a care package as part of the alumni-led ECN Student Care Package project, so I expect he’ll remember me. I was a… relatively vocal student. Which is the polite way of saying I probably chattered his head off.

A student in my grad stats class emailed Andrew Hayes today (literally in the middle of our class) to thank him for creating the PROCESS macro. Dr. Hayes responded within an hour. Absolutely incredible 💀

@blkmathmagic Wait, is there a soap opera about mathematicians on the air somewhere???? Inquiring librarians need to know where to find this magical show…

I saw this today and my heart broke again. It made me relive the loss of my little sister who was a 5th year Bio PhD student at @UCLA Why does black brilliance come with at such a cost? And what are we doing to protect the mental health of our budding scholars?
