Greased in lard, goggles sealed with candle wax, eating chicken legs handed down on a pole. Mid-storm, her trainer screamed for her to come out. Gertrude Ederle kept swimming — and beat every man who'd ever crossed the Channel by two hours.

Mike Brown: Have a seat, Pluto. Let’s look straight at your Q2 KPIs. To be completely transparent with you, your numbers are a black hole.
Pluto: Come on, Mike. I know this game. Eris, your golden child, ratted me out just to steal my parking spot for her pretentious pink Hummer.

Before breakfast: weightlifting, wrestling, steeplechasing. Daily. At 29, with her son strapped to her back, she rode 100 miles, took Gwalior, and died in the saddle in trousers and a turban. The general who killed Rani Lakshmibai filed the verdict.

Talking to Amy Imhoff meant bringing together several of my favourite things: #space, #geography, #StarTrek, #SciComm, feminist media, public engagement, and the kind of wonderfully nerdy conversation where you begin with astronomy and somehow end up at #TaylorSwift.

This lab has been successful in getting press interest, which is helping them with fundraising.
Someone should organize a webinar with whichever lab members are in charge of their #SciComm , social media, and media training because they are getting results.

Six thousand works. One cloak, no shoes, the floor for a bed. A father lost to the executioner, a mother who hid the boy's clothes to keep him home. Then Origen of Alexandria read one verse in Matthew, and called the physician.
