So sad to see the news that mission engineers @NASAJPL will  power down the Plasma Science Instrument (PLS) on Voyager 2, but grateful to them for thinking about the long term outcomes of the mission. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/

radcliffe.harvard.edu/news-and-ideas… SHIELD PI, @MeravOpher, is a guest on the BornCurious Podcast from the @Harvard-Radcliffe Institute discussing our heliosphere and how it protects us from the harsh interstellar environment. See also this paper nature.com/articles/s4155…

🚀 @BU_Tweets was delighted to host @NASAScienceAA Dr. Nicky Fox on campus this week to meet the scientists & students at @BU_spacephysics, @SHIELD_drive, @LEXI_Xray, @BUEarth, and @AstronomyatBU bu.edu/today/close-up…

@NASASun Really looking forward to this webinar! You can see more details here shielddrivecenter.com/shield-webinar…

On August 19 at 2pm ET, the NASA-funded SHIELD Drive Center is hosting Nyad for a webinar titled “The Human Spirit Can Make The ‘Impossible’ Possible.” It’s free and open to the public — registration link below! go.nasa.gov/3WExLdJ

The #Olympics reminds us of the importance of pushing the limits of what’s possible, whether it’s in space exploration or athleticism. So does talking with Diana Nyad, author and distance swimmer known for swimming the 102-mile span from the Bahamas to Florida! ⬇️

Thanks to @NASAScienceAA for stopping by @BU_Tweets today to take some Q&A and to hear about some of the great NASA-funded research happening on campus, including our own from SHIELD PI @MeravOpher!

Olympic marathon swimming is a little over 6 miles. @diananyad swam 16 times that, from Cuba to Florida, when she was 64. @MeravOpher talks with Diana on August 19 about her enduring spirit and what we can learn for space exploration. Register here: shielddrivecenter.com/shield-webinar…
