One of these plushies will fly around the Moon! The team received thousands of entries for the Moon Mascot contest — and narrowed them down to 25 finalists! Which zero gravity indicator do you think should join the Artemis II mission? nasa.tumblr.com/post/7925962…

💚🦆 Duck, duck, hooray—it’s the *first ever* World Waterfowl Day! 🥳 Why celebrate waterfowl? Well, apart from being downright adorable, ducks play an essential role in our environment. From eating invasive plants and insects to fertilizing farmers’ crops with their nutrient-rich feces 💩, ducks help keep our wetlands healthy. . . . 🥬🫛 Want to feed wild ducks? Give them greens—like lettuce, peas and green beans—or specially formulated pellets to ensure a nutritious meal. And, stay away from processed foods like bread ❌🍞, which has little-to-no nutritional value and is difficult for ducks to digest. . . . 🌊💦 Once the Bird House reopens Jan. 24 (post-panda debut 🐼🐼), fly into the Prairie Pothole aviary for a feeding demo with our dabbling and diving ducks! Kindly note that our ducks enjoy a daily diet, and only keepers are permitted to feed them. Thanks in advance for helping us keep our animals healthy! . . . #WorldWaterfowlDay

Best week ever! So happy to be back in space and on @Space_Station (ISS). The ride was amazing, and being here with friends is just awesome. Incredible to see three different human-rated spacecraft docked to the ISS. Great to be part of all that!

At Kenmore, I observed the incredible energy in Ms. Soriano's eighth-grade pre-algebra class. She's a former principal from New York who joined APS to share her passion for math. I also met students in Kenmore's STEAM Certificate Program which inspires students to explore science and develop new skills. Over 80 students at Kenmore participate. Kudos to Shauna Dyer for her role in this program! #APSisAwesome #EveryAPSstudent

As we celebrate #InternationalWomensDay📷, we recommit to lifting up and empowering women today and every day. “If we want scientists and engineers in the future, we should be cultivating the girls as much as the boys.” – Sally Ride
