Thrilled to announce that my first book - an environmental history of outer space - will be published by @Harvard_Press & edited by @audet_janice. Stay tuned for tales of waste, value, inequality, #technopolitics, & all things #SPACEJUNK🚀🛰☄️🌏 #envhist #HSTM #histtech #histsci

@kappapej @PhillyGoatProj1 They ate our 2020 Christmas tree. Fantastic group. ❤️

Spent a lovely Sunday afternoon with the Philly Goat Project. Smashed the BUY TICKETS button as soon as i read “take the goats for their bedtime walk and tuck them into their cozy barn.” Lovely org that does such creative, meaningful work!! @PhillyGoatProj1

@STS_News @SaraBPritchard @PsychedelicSTS @SJasanoff @HarvardSTS A specific suggested edit for improvement: Reconsider the merit of asking a woman who has respectfully requested a more careful consideration of what true allyship entails to do the work for you.

@SaraBPritchard @PsychedelicSTS @SJasanoff @HarvardSTS If you think something can be improved in the post, specific edits would be much appreciated.

I am adding my voice to @PsychedelicSTS's important post about what she experienced under @SJasanoff in the @HarvardSTS program. In this post, I describe my own experiences. It was a toxic place because Jasanoff made it that way. #MeTooSTS #WeDoSTS sts-news.medium.com/costs-untold-s…

@EllieTheElement I imagine @isabelle_held might have something to say about this!

A random thought prompted by some time in the archives today: does anyone write on the history of pin-up pictures of women (who are mostly naked) in C20th air/space innovation?

@USofDisaster 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

@Arn_Keeling @DeondreSmiles And here’s my C954 article (paywalled, alack) journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.109…

@Arn_Keeling @DeondreSmiles I’ve been wondering if the oral history ever took off. Would love to connect with Ellen to learn more!

@ingrid_rocket @Physhist @CLazaroffPuck @wellerstein @jdhamblin My little Fermi was almost Kepler. Still think that’s a great name for a dog. Kinetic.

@NivKarthikeyan At least in Philly there are fig trees everywhere. Especially in places with a large Italian immigrant population. Presumably Jersey then too?

@orbital_decay What?! I never tried figs until I got to the west coast - what was I doing in NJ for 14 years?? Furiously googling "fig tree connecticut?" rn.

Just picked the last of the cherries - fingers crossed some of the figs ripen before I leave CA. I'm going to miss it here.

@johnwenz Not bees?

@johnwenz Hey Adam.

@NivKarthikeyan You’re welcome! All I ask in return is that you hold a mirror back up at me from time to time.

Also thank you @orbital_decay for the real talk!

I’m so excited to announce… I’ve decided not to do a thing and just rest!! I would like to thank my brain for this personal growth.

@arider_ PERFECTION. Congrats!!

Success! Dr. Rider, sabering champagne 🍾🗡🍾🗡🍾🗡🍾🗡 #PhDone

Really looking forward to this tomorrow! Having had the chance to chat briefly with the public forum group already, this promises to be a generative (pun intended) discussion, especially following what looks to be a fascinating and provocative keynote.

@LeapingRobot Calling him “some people” would likely be irredeemably irritating, yes.

@LeapingRobot See now I want to know whether this was in response to something specific or just you in aggregate...🤔

@johnwenz But if you REALLY want to get into the historical record on this... historycollection.jsc.nasa.gov/JSCHistoryPort…

@johnwenz As a former freelance indexer, I would have included any mentions here but there's probably a reason I don't do this anymore.
