@rebecca_charbon's new book, which delves into how the Cold War forged radio astronomy as we know it, is out now!
So thrilled and honored to say that @SciCommAwards has given me a surprise prize this year for stories about nuclear weapons. Thanks to editors @ClaraMoskowitz , @erichand, and @michaelroston for taking these stories on and making them better.

I have not been on here much lately, but I thought you might want an update on what some members of my household got up to tonight
Thanks to @latimesfob for asking @AnnieJacobsen, Shannon Cram, and me to do a panel about nuclear weapons. And thanks to @margotroosevelt for moderating. Hope we didn't scare everybody too much.
