Last year, when I learned that the Board of Education in my hometown in West Virginia was preventing teachers from sharing wish lists, we started a campaign to change it.
This year, they changed the policy. Your voice matters - especially in local policies!!

I've donated $1000 to help clear many of the Monongalia County wish lists.
If you'd like to help West Virginia teachers, I've collected 400 teacher wishlists here. Thank you for your help! docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

Laurie Leshin has led JPL through the fires, funding cuts, and has to deal with tightening DEI rules.
She was the FIRST JPL Director to secure 8 weeks paid leave for parents.
A fierce advocate for science and people.
Her leadership will be deeply missed.
7 May 2025
Hearing that Laurie Leshin is stepping down as JPL director, effective the end of the month. David Gallagher, an associate director at the lab, will take over.

Pass the BABES Enhancement Act - something we've been trying to pass for 2 years.
A Bill that has unanimous support from both sides of the aisle *when* it is given the opportunity to be voted on.
Make TSA more efficient and less stressful for mothers.

Tell me how we can Make Traveling with Family Great Again!
There’s no better place to start a family than the USA so I want to make it easier for you to travel with your kids.
Here’s your chance to tell me, your Transportation Secretary, what I can do to make travel easier for your family. Send me your best ideas!

Science is one of the United States’ greatest strengths. We are competitive, advanced, and widespread. We are dismantling and destroying that. We are losing one of the best things about this country.

A 47% cut to NASA Science.
This could mean entire closure of NASA facilities in various states.
This seems to shift NASA's sole focus to human exploration.
But I don't want American flags on the Moon/Mars if it means giving up the rest of the universe.

If you care about science at NASA, this is royally sucks.

Massive (68%) cut to NASA astrophysics proposed in WH budget. If this stands, it's the end of American pre-eminence in space science. arstechnica.com/space/2025/0…

Last year, Aerospace leaders were invited to DC to discuss a looming challenge: Recruiting.
We can’t get enough people to apply to Aerospace jobs
Removing key support systems and recruiting programs (Brooke Owens/Grace Hopper) that problem will not only get worse - you’ll lose some of the talent you got.

So fun to meet and talk with the amazing @TheSpaceGal today in the @wvhouse ! Her smile is bigger than she is. She is so patient and kind, eagerly taking photos with everyone who asked, while making each person feel welcome during the brief time she was in the chamber.
