A third of the way through the 'decisive decade' and we're a long way from where we need to be. Our current narrative isn't going to see us through this - it's time for a new (true) story of empowerment and possibility. My article in @ProSyn:

In fall of 2024 GEDI will be back at its original location and again collecting data, potentially through 2030, starting a new epoch of ecosystem structure observations. Congratulations to the entire GEDI team for an amazing first chapter and looking forward to the next! 🚀🌟

"I was crying," Shatner told NPR. "I didn't know what I was crying about. I had to go off some place and sit down and think, what's the matter with me? And I realized I was in grief." https://t.co/9jSJDhDHMK

William Shatner was excited to go to space last year. He didn't realize he'd be overwhelmed with sadness and go through "the strongest feelings of grief" that he'd ever experienced.
