A sneak peek at some of the data we’ll showcase in Morrison Planetarium tonight! For anyone attending this evening’s #ASTC2025 gathering at @calacademy, come to our 8:30 program highlighting research from the Academy and @AMNH. With immersive visualizations in @OpenSpaceProj.

Honored to announce that I’ve been elected a Fellow of @AAAS, which I am interpreting as a win for #sciviz and for all the teams I’ve collaborated with over the years…
