The NASA Hubble Fellowship Program named 24 postdoctoral scientists to its 2026 class. These researchers will investigate how the universe functions, seek to understand how the universe evolved, and try to answer the question: Are we alone? ➡️ https://news.stsci.edu/4t5pxc1

First post here. It’s a good one. I got married. To this gorgeous woman, surrounded by our family and close friends, on a perfect day. So beyond grateful, so I’ll hold onto that for a while.
