I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

My finished shot from this morning's total lunar eclipse. This image was captured by using two telescopes, one to capture intricate detail on the lunar surface, and one to capture the rich tones cast by Earth's shadow across the disc. Go ahead, zoom in on it!

Evenings in Ramadan are marked by long prayers. It is a joyful time for Muslims, and a time where our eyes are not fully focused on our regular duties. As we move towards more inclusion, just a reminder to consider acknowledging this and thinking of ways to be supportive.

Just a reminder that we are now halfway through the month of Ramadan, a special time for 1/4 of the world’s population. This likely means that you have observant colleagues like myself as faculty, postdocs, and students who abstain from all food and water from sunrise to sunset.

A Viking-era ring inscribed with the words 'for Allah', found in the grave of a woman who was buried 1200 years ago in Birka, 25 km west of modern-day Stockholm. The ring constitutes unique material evidence of direct contact between the Vikings and the Abbasid Caliphate.
