Over the last few months of #Ax2 training, we have talked about our shared passion for scientific research. Now @Astro_Rayyanah and I are working together on the @Space_Station on record-breaking research.

Before she was an astronaut, @Astro_Christina was an electrical engineer at Goddard. She shared how doing science here at Goddard inspired her to explore the universe herself.

NASA history, STEM education, and (of course!) LEGO: Great new profile of and interview with the incomparable Dr. @maejemison via @CBSPhiladelphia cbsnews.com/philadelphia/new…

Trailblazer Dr. Mae Jemison talks journey as 1st Black woman to travel in space

But it wasn't an easy journey for the first African American female astronaut. See back when she was just Mae, it was a time when careers in the sciences weren't encouraged for girls let alone Black...

I will always remember our conversations and the extraordinary dinner shared together with Ms. Nichelle Nichols, (aka Lt Uhura). It was during Astronaut @maejemison Women of Color in Flight when I learned both the wide breadth of her talent…(1/3)

Uhura in the television program Star Trek), and another unknown individual. All women presented are dressed according to their occupation and posed in a lined up fashion looking at the camera with smiles upon their face.

We are sad to learn of the passing of Nichelle Nichols, who played Lt. Uhura on #StarTrek. She was an inspiration to many, not just for her groundbreaking work on Star Trek but also through her work with NASA to recruit women and people of color to apply to become astronauts.

We celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek actor, trailblazer, and role model, who symbolized to so many what was possible. She partnered with us to recruit some of the first women and minority astronauts, and inspired generations to reach for the stars.

We lost Sally Ride 10 years ago today. I remember it like it was yesterday... and can hardly believe a decade has now lapsed. She was so much more than an astronaut — she was an advocate, an educator, and such a wise soul. Ad astra, Sally. 💜

Thinking of my friend, the late Nancy Grace Roman — the "mother of @NASAHubble" — on this special day. She was so excited for this new telescope and the views and science it would bring; here she is visiting JWST at @NASAGoddard in 2017. Thank you for your vision, Nancy Grace! ✨

It makes me very happy to see my daughter playing with the @LEGO_Group Women of NASA sets. It’s just prompted a conversation about what a scientist does and what she’s learned about gravity at school. @NASA #space #science #play #educational
