   It's is thrilling to watch a team like that on # OSIRISREx be rewarded with such a magnificent ending to a technically challenging mission. The joy on the # NASA TV live stream was the best part. As regards the # science , the hard work is just beginning as these samples make their way through a process and then into a challenging analysis effort. Congratulations to everyone involved in this mission! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/3be6480a8d8629ca9b048c19aafa7f24ab39a1c0cde525621103833c0f2d4d8a/view

   It is almost # NobelPrize season. While imperfect as a measure of achievement, the awards are useful for drawing attention to ideas and to the stories of a few. Announcements begin on October 2. Mark your calendars and feel free to speculate about possible winners! https://www. nobelprize.org/prizes/about/pr ize-announcement-dates/ https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/1ab2693ad55eeddc1b78f45e7725f3611dd7deb15cdee783820008d2f62f93de/view

   From jodi on Mastodon: Today I had the pleasure of meeting many Sudbury locals at Vale’s Family and Friends day. I was deeply impressed by the interest and level of knowledge of SNOLAB science. Thank you to everyone who stopped by!

   Fun with a cloud chamber @ SNOLAB during Creighton Mine Family Day! So happy to be able to share the wonder of the subatomic world with families from the lab and the mine. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/f001395183ff252d38493ff00e803f98b21965695ce9b804f3ce22db030df5b1/view

    From astro_jcm@mastodon.online on Mastodon: The new 4.2 version of # Mastodon includes significant improvements in the search function! My favourite one, which I've been using a lot lately to find new people to follow, is that profile search now works on bios too and not just the user name. So if you type, say, "astronomer", "scicomm" or "journalist", you'll find people with those words in their bio. And the opt-in full-text search for posts, with operators, is also great! https:// blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/09/ mastodon-4.2/

    … and just like that, my # Mastodon instance is running the brand new and shiny version 4.2! Painless upgrade and I’ve made sure to mark my profile so that my public posts can be found by broader search. I hope 4.2 is the next step in the evolution of the # ActivityPub and Mastodon communities being able to better connect!

    I am VERY excited for tomorrow: we have the first @ SNOLAB Research Division retreat. We are gathering at # LaurentianUniversity to share ideas, advocate for new directions, and build a stronger community … within the division and with partners across the laboratory and our community. I don’t know what will come from this, but it will be a beautiful journey.
