Attending #AusSTS25 has left me intellectually and emotionally full—it’s one of those rare feelings in academic life where you find your people, where every conversation leaves you with more than it takes.

It's final paper season.

For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper

by Joseph Fasano

Now I let it fall back
in the grasses.
I hear you. I know
this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious
on this earth.
But what are you trying
to be free of?
The living? The miraculous
task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.

New @umbra.space SAR imagery reveals the foundations of SpaceX's future Gigabay at Roberts Road. And thanks to SAR magic, we can spot the Starship Orbital Launch Mount through the fabric tent as it's being worked on.

Today we may see the atmospheric re-entry of a historic spacecraft that was meant to land on Venus and got stuck in Earth orbit, 53 years ago. Predicted re-entry time 10 May 2025, 6:35 UTC ± 3.7 hr (via @marcolangbroek.bsky.social) 🧪 🔭 #PlanetSci

More than 50 years after trying to reach Venus, a failed Soviet spacecraft is about to return to Earth

The Soviet Union launched Kosmos 482 towards Venus in 1972. But all didn’t go to plan.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
