It has taken centuries. Finally, there are ladies in the Long Room, Trinity. And what ladies. Mary, Ava, Rosalind, Augusta, guard the way for us please.

Had a wonderful time hosted by DIAS Dunsink Observatory talking about the great future for us all in radio astronomy in the next decade. Also, great Guinness.

I loved the insightful conversations sparked with SKA Observatory peeps following this talk. It is clear SKA is ready to tackle the challenges needed to create a truly inclusive, diverse and ethical world-leading Observatory. Let’s keep up the conversation.

I am crying with happiness and pride tonight. Privileged to winter with this incredible human at South Pole and how she will be the first woman to circle the moon. Go get ‘em, Christina. Thank you, sis.

My BFF nearly killed the home inspector when he left my house before sale by putting our favorite haunted ventriloquist dummy (we used to prank each other with) in the attic. Poor Jake.

This article really kicked me in the gut. It captures the problem of why we aren’t sustaining women in science leadership - women look at how their “role models” are treated and realize they’d be crazy to want that too. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Patience. Persistence. Precision. Congratulations to our ASTRON pulsar team and the vast array of colleagues around the world. It truly takes an astronomical army.

Radio leakage from satellite constellations are also drowning out the quiet marvels of our radio universe, as well as our optical view of it.

Update from j greaves at #nam2023 on phosphine in Venus' atmosphere (a signature of life or odd chemistry): detections confirmed in JCMT data from 2022 and May 2023. Consistent line depth so steady source (?).

We're happy to announce that Prof. Jessica Dempsey will be our next director-general, starting in June 2026. A renowned radio astronomer with extensive leadership experience, Prof. Dempsey will succeed Prof. Philip Diamond when he completes his term. 🔗 loom.ly/ghW7NUg
