It’s a rejection letter. I applied to the astronaut program and was not selected. I’ve never been so proud of a rejection. I didn’t get it, but I was qualified to apply, and I’m proud of that.23 Sep 2025 19:50 +0000at://did:plc:wukdavyffrwprkrd465trdbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzjoz73ook2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/charitywoodrum.bsky.social/post/3lvewjwwttk2uI am honored to be on this week’s episode of Radiolab! The host @lutimestwo.bsky.social gets excited about galaxies with me! We talk about finding light in the darkest places, both for my research and my life. Lulu was so kind talking about my personal life and so intelligent discussing my research. https://radiolab.org/podcast/galaxy-quenching02 Aug 2025 00:40 +0000at://did:plc:wukdavyffrwprkrd465trdbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvewjwwttk2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/charitywoodrum.bsky.social/post/3ltzxbmnvw22pRIP Andrea Gibson15 Jul 2025 22:29 +0000at://did:plc:wukdavyffrwprkrd465trdbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltzxbmnvw22phttps://bsky.app/profile/charitywoodrum.bsky.social/post/3lp5mwy22nk2dSome high schoolers are visiting NASA today and I was one of their surprise guests. I did NOT know the other surprise guest was an astronaut. They sat us across from each other during lunch and I was so nervous and didn’t know what to say so I said “Thank you for fixing Hubble!” 😅😭🫠14 May 2025 18:29 +0000at://did:plc:wukdavyffrwprkrd465trdbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp5mwy22nk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/charitywoodrum.bsky.social/post/3lnwdv5tdy22uMy first seminar as a doctor was at my alma mater!
