Excellent news from @TheSpaceGal !
I’m so excited to share that I’ll be flying to space with @blueorigin 💙🪶 I’ll become one of the first ~100 women in space and the first female astronaut from West Virginia.

Congratulations to Shri Kulkarni (SRK) on his winning of the 2024 Shaw Prize for Astronomy! Pivotal roles in so many areas of relativistic astrophysics from the original millisecond pulsar through gamma-ray bursts. A Nature paper machine the likes of which we may never see again.
