Pro tip: When asking a question at a conference, don’t start with “Did you think of...?” That implies you know more than the expert on their subject. Instead try, “Could you say more about...?”
Congratulations to @cesareguari whose paper on Intelligent Architecting of Aerospace Systems-of-Systems was selected as best paper in the Management, Systems Engineering, and Cost Track of #IEEEAerospace2019

Shout out to @MIT student #MeganOchalek on her terrific presentation on Lattice-Based Reconfigurable Structures at #IEEEAerospace2019
Terrific panel on the Moon at the @WSBRoundtable luncheon. First question: are we in a space race?
Agreed.
Not to mention Bill’s one of the kindest humans you’ll ever meet. He’s a pleasure to work with and humble about all that talent!

So many space businesses have improbable ROIs. Or ones that extend beyond a reasonable timeline for investment. Despite other flaws, the M1 business model was innovative: reality entertainment at least has the potential for near-term profits.

#phdadvice USE 🎤MICS🎤 EVERY TIME YOU PRESENT
Never say 🚫”I don’t need a 🎤, I’m loud enough”🚫 Talking loud emphasizes vowels, not consonants. You can’t make f/s/th as loud as ah/oo/ee
#HardOfHearing people need 🎤 for #accessibility #a11y
