STATION HEADLINES: Tavi Greiner, our Education & Outreach Director
(and all-around wonderful human being!), has been nominated for a
Shorty award!
The Shorty Awards honor the best people and organizations on Twitter.
These unique awards are for the Twitter community, by the Twitter
community. Online voting is public and democratic, culminating in an
awards ceremony in New York to recognize the winners.
UPDATE: Voting is over, and Tavi came in 8th for Education - nice job
Tavi! And Astronomy.FM came in tied for FIRST in the "astronomy"
category. Not bad; perhaps we'll do better next year....
