Hi Folks! I had the pleasure of being on two podcasts that aired recently, which made me realize I hadn't kept track of podcasts I'd done.  SO, I've just updated my website to include a Podcasts section in the media.  Check it out! Hope you enjoy!

Please, if you can, help support our JPL community through the devastation of the Eaton Fire.  1) Caltech/JPL Disaster Relief Fund: 2) Individual GoFundMe pages: can be found #JPLCommunity #DisasterRelief #Caltech #EatonFireUpdates

RT @NASAJPL: Thanks to everyone who has reached out to us with concern and support. If you’d like to contribute, this fund will be used by @Caltech & JPL to support our colleagues and their families greatly impacted by the devastating fires.

RT @Caltech: Please consider making a contribution to this special fund that will be used by Caltech and JPL to directly support affected individuals and their families greatly impacted by this week's devastating fires in Southern California.

Please consider giving. This is the official fund set up by Caltech/JPL to help our community. Thank you!

Another delayed post from my March India trip.  It was my first visit to Pondicherry! Beautiful beaches, stopped at a really nice temple on the drive back to Chennai.  And of course the engaging students and faculty at Pondicherry University.

Happy Diwali!   #Diwali #FestivalOfLights #Celebration #IndianCulture #HappyDiwali #Deepavali

Diwali symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, and knowledge over ignorance. I chose today to cast my vote for Harris/Walz. I encourage all of you to vote also, as every single vote matters. May the coming year bring prosperity, health, and peace. Happy Diwali!

2023 Throwback: My daughter put me in charge of the rocket demo for her Girl Scouts overnight camp which was space themed.  Such a simple experiment.  But with explosive results!   #throwback #girlscouts #scienceexperiment #blastoff #STEMeducation #girlpower #rocketdemo

I was told my picture was hanging someone in Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center, so I went on a little quest to find it.  BOY, did I find it!  I don't think in the slightest that I am at their level, but it certainly made my parents very happy to see it.

It's beginning to look a lot like ... DIWALI! :-) My favorite time of year. #Diwali #FestivalofLights #Celebration #Tradition #Family

We finally updated our external webpage and re-brand of my lab at JPL. Check it out!  This lab gives us a cool facility to develop and test the next generation GNC and autonomy. #JPL #NASA #rebrand #lab #updates #technology #spacecraft #autonomy

I recently came across this video clip of Dr. Somanath (ISRO Chairman) beautifully explaining failure analysis and why it is so challenging, especially for space missions.  Fun pic of us at a NASA JPL event when he was here with the NISAR team.

My first time being turned into a comic was from a young graduate student who was looking to highlight representation in the space field.  Thank you Caroline!  #comicbook #representationmatters #diversityinSTEM #graphicnovel #womeninstem

RT @NASAJPL: ⚡ Power move: @EuropaClipper's solar arrays flanking the body of the spacecraft have fully unfolded. This means that the spacecraft now has a reliable source of power for the rest of its journey to Jupiter and tour of the Jovian system!

Go Europa Clipper! Off on its many year journey to Jupiter!

RT @NASA_LSP: 🚀 T-minus 2 hours until liftoff! This @SpaceX Falcon Heavy is set to soar at 12:06pm EDT, and we’ve got you covered! Turn post notifications 🔛 to get countdown updates and insider info on the @EuropaClipper mission. Buckle up and stay tuned – we’re in for quite the ride🍿

RT @NASAJPL: It's launch day! 🚀 Tune in starting at 11am ET / 8am PT as NASA's @EuropaClipper mission launches aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket to Jupiter's intriguing ocean moon. Liftoff is set for 12:06 pm ET / 9:06am PT.

We’re ready. Beautiful clear calm day.

🚀It’s launch day for #EuropaClipper! The SpaceX Falcon Heavy is set to lift off from @NASAKennedy at 12:06pm EDT. The goal is to learn if there are places below the icy crust of Jupiter’s moon that could support life. Here are 8 things to know! ▶

Happy 1 year in space Psyche!  You've been flying smoothly onwards to your target.  Can't believe it's already been 1 year since Launch! #PsycheSpaceMission #SpaceExploration #NASA #AsteroidMission #LaunchAnniversary
