NASA, COVID-19, and The Phoenix

Exciting times! The biggest news was Julia connecting with climate scientist Dr. Compton "Jimmy" Tucker at NASA. He picked her up from Union Station Friday, 8 a.m., and she spent the whole day there. She sat in on meetings, shadowed various scientists, and scored some NASA playing cards and stickers. This is all through a potential advisor setting up a meeting with someone at the University of Minnesota, who then called Dr. Tucker and said he should hire Julia. She's very excited to return and see what she can work on--stay tuned for the details.

On the home front, many minds are consumed by COVID-19. The Safeway shelves were empty, where disinfectant wipes used to be.

Meme came over to check out The Phoenix (shop here--great collection of unique items!) and for dinner. It is always good to catch up and spend quality time with her. Thanks for the LaCroix, mom!
