I analyzed 500+ of my jokes & found some interesting things about my #sciencejokes. You can hear me talk about it in my @TEDx talk! Full video of data analysis: youtu.be/Pu7yQIlJLUw More analysis to come in 2019! #DataGeek #sciencecomedy #jokeanalysis #funnydata #datascience

That's a wrap. My last piece for @washingtonpost is front and center on today's front page. It's a reporting trip I took with scientists who are studying the Florida Current. It's about the process of science on a not-so-straightforward topic. Gift link: washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

"It takes years to make good reporters—people who are trained, who love getting the story so much, who love the news so much, that they will wade into the fire, run to the sound of the guns. They are grown only in newsrooms, not at home with laptops. They are taught by older craftsmen and professionals, through stories and lore." @Peggynoonannyc wsj.com/opinion/a-lame…

@TamithaSkov Thank you for the kind words, Tamitha! Means a lot. I'm so grateful to have increased my space weather IQ at The Post by talking to intelligent folks like you. Was working on some space wx articles when I got laid off that I'm still trying to get out...so not the end of me yet!

Dr. Tamitha Skov@TamithaSkov·6 Şub

No! @KashaPatel news articles are among the best I've read! I am sure you'll get snatched up by another group quickly. I do hope you remain a space science writer for years to come--you have been such a strong ally and advocate for us in space weather, we'd miss you terribly!

Kasha Patel@KashaPatel

Had a blast covering science, space, & more @washingtonpost for 4.5 yrs. The Post no longer has a dedicated space reporter when dominance in space is nat security. Open for opps, incl. jou, comedy & speaking gigs. Big help to sub to my YT for fun vids✌️ @kashablanca" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@kashablanca

I was laid off from @washingtonpost yesterday—like most of the climate team. Working here was a dream & I’m honored to have started my career here. I’m eager to continue covering environmental policy and justice while holding power to account. Email me at amudalat10@gmail.com

Sure I can go to Alaska or Canada and see the aurora anytime, but it's more fun to see the lights with everyone else. It becomes a shared memory like "where were you on the day we landed on the moon" except I wasn't there for that so maybe this is better

How fitting! The Post's space weather writer -- @KashaPatel -- was on a flight, cruising over Cedar Rapids, Iowa during the geomagnetic storm last night and captured this stunner of the northern lights....

Saw the aurora for the 2nd time...but from an airplane! Surprised I saw the red and greens and the oval structure surrounding me 🤩 More illuminating (hehe) is how light pollution affects aurora viewing...here's a comparison. Left: just outside of Chicago Right: over Chicago

Big plus for space weather and sun scientists! Not one, not two, but THREE spacecraft were launched today to study traffic on/around the sun and how it affects us! This launch seems to signal promising space weather investments for the future My article: wapo.st/3KjIRkG

The million-mile journey to study the Sun's influence starts now! A @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying three new space weather missions launched at 7:30am ET (1130 UTC) on Wednesday, Sept. 24, from @NASAKennedy.

To quote Stephen Colbert, “we’ve got some MOOOOON NEWWWS” this week!! 🌖 Last night, Interlune and @BlueFors_Ltd went primetime when Colbert unpacked the news of our deal, based on the story by @washingtonpost's @KashaPatel. Trying to explain how funny it was won’t do it justice. You just have to watch. Do it here. youtu.be/yokWHyPBz78?fe… And huge congrats to @colbertlateshow and @CBS on their first Emmy win this past Sunday! 🏆🥂

I’m proud of this one. I brought a solar telescope to Florida to capture a Falcon 9 rocket launch transiting the sun. While these have been captured before, never with the details of the sun’s chromosphere, which makes this one the first! See the video or get the print below 👇
