Classic Chinese tomato egg dish (mostly) following a recipe my brother recommended on YouTube. I didn't rub the tomatoes in flour and I skipped the green pepper. Served on brown basmati and wild rice.

Shelby Jacobs played a key role in the development of a camera system that filmed stage separations during Saturn V launches. These images became iconic and have appeared in countless places including the Star Trek episode "Assignment: Earth" which used footage from Apollo 4. tinyurl.com/mtmrtd3e
Here's an excellent article from @theguardian.com with good suggestions for tech alternatives (like Bluesky!).

Holy crap, there's a scene-by-scene Wrath of Khan muppet parody!
Dr. Tosiron Adegbija of the University of Arizona presented earlier this month on "Right-Sizing Intelligence: Hardware, Software, and the Sustainable Future of AI" for the HardScience SF Writers Readers Artists Zoom Group.

I don't know Jack.
Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday evening (in person and in spirit) for the informal Ottawa celebration of the life of Jean-Louis Trudel. It gave me comfort to know that Jean-Louis will live on in the hearts and memories of all the people he touched over the course of his accomplished life.
Gladys West, one of the pioneering Hidden Figures of the early U.S. space program, has died at the age of 95. She did fundamental work on the development of Earth gravitational models that are important for missions like GPS and radar which require the orbits of the satellites to be precisely known.
It's a great time to warm up with some cookies and tea and a copy of WINTER OF SCI-FI & FANTASY. Edited by Dustin Bilyk and published by Worldstone Publishing, this new anthology features thirteen tales including my story "Random Access Memory". Available for pre-order now!

My brother Ken Choi is a co-author on a paper in @cjemonline.bsky.social on the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of emergency medicine residents in Canada. It is the first DEIIA (diversity, equity, inclusion, indigeneity, accessibility) study of Canadian emergency medicine residents.
#EccentricOrbits by John Bloom about the rise, fall, and rise of the #Iridium satellite constellation is my absolute favourite space business book. So I was positively giddy when I recently picked up a near pristine hardcover at the local public library's used bookstore for the princely sum of $2.
Please join me to celebrate the life of writer, astronomer, physicist, and science historian Jean-Louis Trudel at Sir John A Pub in Ottawa on February 11 starting at 7:00pm. Let's gather to remember Jean-Louis through conversation and shared memories of his accomplished life.

I am so proud of my sister Dr. Margaret Choi, not only for the recognition from BC Children's Hospital on this #NationalPediatricianDay but for her years of tireless dedication both within and beyond the walls of the hospital in providing care to the smallest and most vulnerable of patients.
I was honoured to have an opportunity last week to share my career journey with @engineering.utoronto.ca undergraduate students at the 2026 Engineering Science Education Conference (ESEC). Thank you to the students for their questions and inspiring me with their intelligence and ambition and hope.
I am delighted that Christine Tovee and I will be returning to our alma mater @engineering.utoronto.ca to speak at the 2026 Engineering Science Education Conference this week. #ESEC2026

This reminds me of the Prime Radiant in FOUNDATION.
Congratulations to Dr. Peter Annan on his appointment to the Order of Canada. Peter is an internationally recognised expert in the field of ground penetrating radar. During my early career I had the pleasure of working with Peter on proposals for GPR instruments for lunar and planetary exploration.

There is a disturbance in the Force this New Year's Day as I mourn the recent death of my friend Tom Srsa. May he live in the memories of his family and friends, in his children Adrian, Michael and Maya, and in the students whose lives he enriched over a long teaching career. tinyurl.com/2t3h4t2h
Warm and cozy on a cold winter's night.
Happy Kwanzaa and Happy Boxing Day!
Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! 聖誕快樂!
It is wonderful how CSA astronaut #JeremyHansen is engaging all Canadians, including the young and the young-at-heart, as the #Artemis2 mission draws near.
