It was a pleasure to meet with such inspiring young women to discuss life in space and learn about their remarkable STEM projects. The future generations of #STEM leaders are making great discoveries! #WISS2019 #WomenInSTEM
What an incredible honor to be recognized as a member of the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame along side these 3 amazing icons. In particular I want to acknowledge Gene Kranz for the remarkable speech. It articulated the inspiration of the time. A motivation that drove my life to incredible heights, like many others of my era. I am so grateful to have had such broad shoulders to stand upon.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay to the Trail Blazers who paved the way for my childhood dreams coming true! This group of women proved to me that becoming an astronaut could be a possibility if I worked hard and never gave up. Who inspires you?
We should watch the SpaceX test flight this weekend! Excited to see the U.S. get one step closer to launching astronauts on American soil again. Tune in this Saturday at 2:49am ET to watch the launch.
Celebrating Women in science. If you’re passionate about science - reach for the stars! Here’s to the future generations of women who’s scientific contributions will advance humanity in space exploration. Happy #WomenInScienceDay!
It’s been the greatest honor to live out my lifelong dream of being a @nasa Astronaut. Thank you to the #NASAVillage and all who have supported me along the way. As I reminisce on my many treasured memories, it’s safe to say my journey at NASA has been out of this world!

638 days in space and the view is still amazing! Soaking up some sunset time in the cupola…
Zero gravity stem cell media exchange! The pink fluid is media – I’m removing a bit of old media and replacing it with new, little by little. There are human stem cells (early cardiovascular cells) in that little rectangular chamber. The clear part is a thin film of special plastic that keeps liquid in, but allows air to pass through so the cells can breathe!
