Moderating a panel on astronomy research and sitting on a panel about grad school apps. Doing cool science things #CUWiP

Awesome work/life balance or procrastination for studying for Monday's midterm? Either way whale watching was incredible! (PC: Delaney Trowbridge seataceans)

So last night I sat down to see about taking the General GRE and Physics GRE, a process that many prospective grad students will have to tackle in the coming months. Here's what I learned...

This is in just 4 days!! If you’re an undergrad interested in physics/and astronomy graduate achool, come though :) #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter Academic Chatter™

#UCIPhysAstro professor Tim Tait cautions about comparing physicists to others when writing letters of recommendation, as it can adversely affect the candidate as well as disfavor women and underrepresented minorities, in this new piece for Physics Today: buff.ly/3inw8d7

my cutting edge political analysis: Biden transited in New Hampshire and it looks like the secondary eclipse was in Nevada. model looks a little iffy so we definitely need some independent follow up

Astronomer denizens of twitter! Have you done an observing run in the last 3-6 months? Catch any unwelcome satellite trails? Please get in touch and help me (1) make an image gallery for an #aas237 poster and (2) start an open data repository of satellite photobombs

It's paper day🙌!! Our new paper (w/ James Bullock, Courtney Klein, Jonathan Stern, and collaborators) finds this interesting connection between the early time bursty star formation and the formation of the galactic thick disk: arxiv.org/abs/2103.03888

So excited its finally out. We conducted a high-cadence survey of the Galactic Plane with ZTF Survey, i.e. together with Jan van Roestel, @ebellm and many others we took continuous observations for a few hrs covering regions with the highest stellar density arxiv.org/abs/2105.02758

New simulations from Jorge Moreno and colleagues Pomona College reproduce observed galaxies lacking dark matter. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Press release: UCI Physics & Astro scientists discover how galaxies can exist without dark matter — something once thought impossible. From @jorgito__moreno James Bullock Francisco J. Mercado @DarthLazar Courtney Klein and others. ps.uci.edu/news/2586

For #InternationalWomensDay a special acknowledgement to UCI Physics & Astro PhD student Courtney Klein Courtney Klein - NSF Graduate Fellow doing fascinating and impactful work on galaxy formation using numerical simulations

Fun impromptu lunch with some group members today. After all the remote work, appreciate the in-person randomness so much

Excited to share our latest led by the great Anna Yu Anna Yu - Born this way: thin disc, thick disc, & isotropic spheroid formation in FIRE2 MW simulations stars w disc-like or spheroid-like orbits today were born that way Dr. Alex Gurvich Zachary Hafen arxiv.org/abs/2210.03845
