Cover of "Picture an Astronomer: Best Practices for Retaining Talent in Astrophysics", which features an illustration of a 19-year-old Vera Rubin looking through a telescope over a backdrop of a first light image of spiral galaxies from the Rubin Observatory.
Happy International Women's Day!
Perfect time for me to (re)share our white paper on increasing the retention of women in professional astrophysics (really full of suggestions that broaden participation in academic science in general).

Networks don't carry much of my favorite genre, scifi/fantasy. I stream for that. I do enjoy "my shows," regardless of network suck factor (did just quit CBS News after decades of watching).
Shows: Best Medicine, Will Trent, Rookie, Ghost, Matlock, NCIS+, Tracker, High Potential, Brilliant Minds
