Laid Off With Honor At NASA

Keith’s note: A picture of the NASA Ames Honor Awards event submitted by someone who was there. Note the shirt in the front row. Update: the brave woman in this picture is Katherine Fisher, a molecular biologist at NASA ARC, who made a public post on LinkedIn: “It is bittersweet to share that I was awarded the Exceptional Public Achievement Medal at the NASA Honor Awards. I really appreciate the nomination and the honor of this individual award. I was laid off in May due to budget issues and this award recognizes the achievements I made on the Space Algae-2 flight experiment. I hope to return to NASA one day and my heart goes out to the others in my shoes.”
