Last week, my family and I headed to North Carolina to explore emerald mines. I liked "creeking," searching for rocks or minerals from rivers, streams, or, well, creeks. It's a ton of fun! Plus, I found two tiny emeralds and a tiny ruby (as well as other less precious minerals).

If all goes well I'll be starting my PhD in Education this August. I got accepted to my first choice Lesley University to study how multigenerational informal science programs affect STEM identity in marginalized learners. Wish me luck, because I'm gonna need it.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
