OK so hi I’m an astrophysicist and a sometimes science writer who spends way too much time on the ~~~other site~~~ so is checking this one out. I enjoy clever word things and science and dogs. #introduction
@AstroKatie welcome, SO happy to see you here, I’ve enjoyed your posts over yonder for a while, cosmology is fascinating 🌌😃
@AstroKatie Welcome! Wonderful to see you here! I hope you enjoy Mastodon. I’ve found it to be incredibly refreshing and positive, for the most part; it’s very easy to curate one’s experience, and nothing is foisted upon your user experience that you don’t wish for.

@AstroKatie
Hi. I am glad to have a place where I can engage with you. You're an awesome scientist.

That said, here's my dog Tasha. In these pics, we were camping out for last year's solar eclipse. She's a retired seeing eye dog.

@AstroKatie Hi Katie, a pleasure to connect with you on this space, how are you liking mastodon so far?
@AstroKatie I've been following you on Twitter for quite some time now. I hope mastodon will take off, it's a nice place overall 😉
@AstroKatie and here I am as well … just in case … you never know …
@AstroKatie this is an old post but nice to see you here 😍
@AstroKatie HI! Glad you came over here. I'm just starting out over here myself.
@AstroKatie It’s nice here. We only have the good kind of cookies and none of the bad kind. There’s also mayhem. Quite a lot of it, actually.

@AstroKatie So I saw "clever word things" and thought "I should feed that to an AI and see what #aiArt comes out"

Anyway, here.

@AstroKatie *knock knock* Yes, hi. Im here for the dogs? :-)
@AstroKatie I too love clever word things…and am a science writer! (And science fiction writer.)
@AstroKatie This was my fastest follow
@Topofmyvoice @AstroKatie Right? I couldn't click fast enough…now, if I could just find some #astrophotography folks…
@AstroKatie Pretty sure we have actual cake, tho.
@AstroKatie Hi Katie, good to see you here. I used to follow you at the bird site.
@AstroKatie
Me too: clever word things (even puns), science and …

John F Clauser received the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics for the groundbreaking work he did almost 50 years ago!! Apparently Clauser tested Bell's proposal showing quantum entanglement and non-locality. Katie - "The End of Everything" is well written and excellent!! Thank you..

Nobody took John F. Clauser's quantum experiments seriously. 50 years later, he's collecting a Nobel Prize.
