If you tilt your head back to look up into the night sky, and then close your eyes, can you hear the stars? I can.
In college, while studying to be an astrophysicist, I lost my sight from an extended illness. As you can imagine, astronomy and physics are very visual fields of study, so I thought I had lost my ability to continue to study the sciences that inspired me.
At that time there were limited ways that a blind person could do what I do, at the doctoral level, in science. But I was determined to find the means to work as an astrophysicist. So I worked to develop techniques in sonification, or how we translate data into sound signals. Suddenly, it was possible to detect subtle changes in data patterns, simply by listening to them. I was able to hear patterns that couldn't be noticed otherwise, like in the electromagnetic waves emitted by stars.
I believe that astronomy, and all of the sciences, can inspire, amaze, and help us create a better world.
That's why I'm so excited to be participating in the White House Frontiers Conference -- an event that's bringing together hundreds of innovators like me who are reimagining the boundaries of what's possible in order to shape the present and the future.
While the term "frontier" is often thought of in relation to space, it's about more than astronomy, or physics, or any one scientific discipline. It's about innovation and curiosity and exploration.
It's about making incredible breakthroughs in health care and personalized medicine, because each of us is different and has something to contribute. It's about pushing the boundaries of data, to develop tools like sonification, yes, and also to create more inclusive communities by solving transportation challenges and expanding education opportunities. It's about harnessing the potential of new technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation to find out how they can benefit all Americans.
I think that science is for everyone. It belongs to the people, and it has to be available to everyone, because we are all natural explorers.
You can be part of it, too. Tune in today at 1:45 pm ET, as President Obama and I explore the world's most pressing challenges along with hundreds of other innovators, and strive to keep America on the cutting edge of all the frontiers to come.
Thanks for listening,

Olá,

Você sabia que o desmatamento ainda é um problema crítico enfrentado pelo Brasil? Este ano será o recorde de queimadas na Amazônia! O que está causando problemas gravíssimos para as nossas florestas, clima e pessoas. Nessa história todo mundo perde: os animais, as plantas e as cidades próximas que respiram a fumaça.
O fogo é usado como artificio para transformar a mata em áreas de pasto ou plantações. Além disso, as florestas degradadas e desmatadas, tornam-se muito mais suscetíveis à queima, ou seja, tornando-se um ciclo vicioso.

A destruição na Amazônia continua à todo vapor e precisamos de você para lutar pelo #DesmatamentoZero!
Assine agora!

Sula --

Last week, the Supreme Court reconvened -- and they're short-handed for the second term in a row. 

This year will mark the first time since 1864 that the Supreme Court has been without a full complement of justices on Election Day. And we have Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley to thank for this unprecedented obstruction.

Their refusal to hold hearings and a vote for Judge Merrick Garland -- President Obama's extremely well qualified nominee -- has lasted for nearly seven months. 

That's nearly seven months of refusing to do their jobs and treating our judicial branch like a political football. That's nearly seven months of pure obstruction.

Speak out against the obstruction of our judicial system -- add your name now.

Starting a new term without a full bench means the court will likely hear fewer cases and fail to resolve ones that need deciding -- ones that affect many of the issues we work on every day: economic opportunity, immigration policy, criminal justice reform, and gender-based discrimination.

Senate leaders are sending a clear message that their political games are more important than a functioning court. They need to know that we hold our nation's institutions in higher regard, and that we'll continue to call them out as long as they ignore their duties.

Join the thousands calling for common decency and respect for the Supreme Court of the United States:

The White House, Washington

One of my favorite things about launching our My Brother's Keeper initiative has been spending time with some outstanding young people from across the country. Whether it's shooting hoops with the young people in our White House Mentorship and Leadership program, or chatting over soul food with teens from New Orleans, I've gotten to know some great kids who are succeeding despite the odds.
Many of them are going through the same issues I faced growing up. I was angry about not having a dad in the house -- something I didn't realize at the time. I made dumb mistakes. I didn't always follow the straight path. But I was fortunate. I had people in my life who encouraged me -- my mom, my grandparents, my teachers. I had a support system of folks who pushed me to work hard and make the most of myself.
Every young person in America deserves the same opportunities I had: a world-class education, a pathway to apply for college or find a job, and a chance to lay a foundation for a career and a family.
But the fact is that in America, some groups have the odds stacked against them across multiple generations. And by so many measures, the group that is facing some of the most severe challenges in the 21st century are boys and young men of color.
That's why we started My Brother's Keeper: to bring together the private and public sector to ensure that all young people in America can reach their full potential.
In just two years, My Brother's Keeper has come a long way. Nearly 250 communities across 50 states, 19 tribal nations, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have committed to supporting our kids from cradle to college to career. We've implemented new federal programs that are breaking down barriers to opportunity. And foundations and companies have made more than $1 billion in commitments to strengthen communities and transform lives.
I'll be talking more about the progress that we've made with My Brother's Keepertonight in a conversation at North Carolina A&T State University. You can watch on ESPN's Facebook page at 10pm ET.
We'll also be celebrating several major new commitments supporting MBK's goals -- like nearly 50 companies signing on to our new #FirstJob Compact, committing to develop better practices to hire disconnected youth, and the Sprint Corporation's announcement that it will provide 1 million high-school students who don’t have the Internet at home with mobile devices.
If Michelle and I had a son, we’d want him to have the same thing we want for our daughters -- to grow up with a boundless sense of possibility. We'd want him to have respect for himself and for others, a commitment to hard work, and the opportunity to achieve his dreams. As Americans, that’s what we should all want for all children.
President Barack Obama
