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 hi dr Mack!
@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 Happy you're here, Katie.
@AstroKatie yay i follow you there but i’d much rather be here! it’s nice here. welcome.
@AstroKatie Hey, I recognise your avatar! Was it drawn by Jorge Cham?
