All the views and opinions outlined in my blog are my own. They do not necessarily represent the views of my institutions (including the University of Arizona), funders (including the NSF and NCSL), collaborators, or co-authors.

I have chosen to make public my political opinions here because I believe that science and politics are inextricably linked. As scientists, especially space scientists, we rely on politics for our funding. As citizens, we should demand informed and well-researched public policy based on scientific research. In short, science for policy leads to better government, and policy for science leads to better science.
