Roman Scientists Social Media

We are excited to announce the launch of new social media accounts for scientists who want to work with Roman: @NancyRomanSci

NancyRomanSci is managed by the Roman Science Centers and provides researchers with the most up-to-date information related to doing science with NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

These accounts will promote and distribute practical aspects of the mission relevant to scientists, including, but not limited to, proposal deadlines, conferences, tools, training opportunities, committee reports, software development, instrument capabilities, observation planning, etc.

Please follow us to get the most up-to-date information related to doing science with Roman:
