Dear friends and colleagues, This is a call for international conference organizers to think twice before organizing any conference in Western Europe/North America, where many academics from the Global South (GS) need a visa to enter. (1)

Unbelievable mess with Air Canada, this is my third day with no baggage, status tracking website isn’t working, and after 2 hours on hold your agent hung up on me. Don’t fly with them this summer if you value your property or time!

Here's a 1-minute video showing--in the words of visualization hero Edward Tufte--the "compared to what" factor for today's amazing NASA Webb Telescope image. Thanks to the AAS WorldWide Telescope for making this possible, and A David Weigel. I only wish NASA and President Donald J. Trump had shown the image this way!

Extremely humbled to present this work at the Summiting the Unknown conference in memory of Ann Nelson, an absolute legend and one of the best role models in our field. I hope she would have enjoyed the conference! 🥺

It's Bradley Kavanagh and Prof. Katelin Schutz at #TeVPA2022!!!

Literal transcript of my exchange with our our office of sponsored research every single time I submit a grant 😝

Well I just landed in Nashville, Tennessee and my first interaction was some stranger in the airport telling me to take my mask off because fresh air can’t get in and it’s shortening my lifespan 😣

Some of our faculty members are also eligible to host Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics National Fellows at McGill, so check out that opportunity as well: jobregister.aas.org/ad/b6b7a598. Note the earlier deadline of Nov 7.

Come be my colleague! Montreal is great 😊

Fun physics fact: 5 hour energy has the same units as Planck's constant

Pumpkin spice flan 🎃😻 #onlyflans

A friend sent me this picture of lower campus. Love McGill University this time of year.

"While 38% of workshop participants were women, only 19% of publications...had female first authors. Furthermore, of these early publications, 61% had all-male author lists." The men in those all-male-author papers have *actively* excluded women. Let's think about that.

We're making herstory! 🇨🇦 We're honoured to welcome the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau to #CanadasDragRace, becoming the first world leader to appear on the Drag Race franchise! #CanadasDragRace Canada vs the World premieres November 18 at 9E on Crave.
