The nice French man next to me on the plane while I pointed out all the mountains/parks/lakes we were flying over

Likely the closest I’ll ever get to the actual thing! Thank you to @aurelia_labs and @GoZeroG for allowing me the opportunity to celebrate the culmination of my time at MIT in zero gravity! It was an honor to fly with you on behalf of the @mattfellowship! Ad Astra ✨

In honor of approaching solar max: Mama Aurora (*redacted website* didn’t have a dramatic enough sun headpiece, so work with me lmao)

I have abandoned hope that my dissertation will be elegantly written and entertaining to read. It shall be DONE and hopefully concise enough to not bore my readers to tears. That is simply all I have in me

Also got to meet @DrSianProctor IRL who’s just a genuinely cool and incredibly kind human being! Thanks for taking the time to chat and for sharing your poetry with us ☺️✨ #BlackSpaceWeek @BlackInAstro

It was an honor to attend the panels hosted by the @WhiteHouse National Space Council in DC yesterday! The plethora of wisdom spewing from these incredible folks left me feeling motivated, energized, and inspired to keep it pushin. On your shoulders, we’ll stand ✨🚀

Better late than never 🤪 Hi y’all! 🤠 I’m Cadence. Currently a PhD candidate in @MITAeroAstro. I design and build small, bread loaf/shoebox sized spacecraft that perform oceanography from LEO to monitor the health of our planet’s oceans #ShoutOutBlackInSpace #BlackSpaceWeek

This year’s costume is in honor of my spectroscopic-based dissertation work: light dispersion ✨

Kicking off #IAC2022 with the rest of the @FSLFound recipients at the cross-cultural workshop 🤩
