I’m so excited to talk with my favorite comedian and actor again tonight! He’s been so supportive for the last 7 years. He’s showing my documentary to his podcast followers and doing this Q&A out of pure kindness. He’s such a genuinely good human. Check out his podcast Beautiful / Anonymous

Paper day: our ASPIRE contribution to the little red dots. They are abundant, spatially extended and might be strongly clustered. Work led by Xiaojing Lin, also Feige Wang Zheng Cai Dr. Jackie Champagne and many others. arxiv.org/abs/2407.17570

I don’t know that we were the best ever but it feels like lately people are remembering that we made some pretty cool stuff. cbr.com/greatest-publi…

SUCCESS 🎉🎉🎉

In this AAS Journal Author Series video, Steve Finkelstein (@utaustin) chats about his article on galaxies: youtube.com/watch?v=sl6jv-… The goal of this series is to connect authors w/their article, their human story & the larger #astronomy community. #ExploreAstronomy #TheGoodStuff

Watch as this video takes you to the farthest galaxy ever detected by #NASAWebb (so far), JADES-GS-z14-0. Read about how the scientists were able to find this galaxy, observed only 290 million years after the big bang: webbtelescope.pub/4bWMXYD

I was so honored to help STScI artists and scientists in the creation of this beautiful animation simulating a cosmic trip out to JADES-GS-z14-0. These are actual images of each galaxy combined with our estimated distances. It's a really magical journey!

And here are some professors that believed in me. I defended my PhD in astrophysics today and couldn’t have done it without their support. Thank you Marcia Rieke, Rob Kennicutt, Kevin Hainline, Eiichi Egami, and Amber Straughn (not pictured)

BIG BIG congrats Dr. Dr. Charity Woodrum!! 🎉🎉🎉 We’ll get a pic together when you get to NASA Goddard in a few weeks 😀

Officially a Doctor of the Universe. I’m going to miss Steward Observatory, University of Arizona and University of Arizona so much!

Dr. Charity Woodrum University of Arizona Congratulations Dr. Charity! Wishing you the best at NASA Goddard ✨

“Kilometer-sized dust grains” has been edited out :( Relatedly, the paper has been accepted for publication into The Astrophysical Journal! Go read Arin’s first first author paper: arxiv.org/abs/2408.12351

Happy to share this paper led by UArizona/LPL grad student Arin Avsar on 2+ decades of HST/STIS imaging of Beta Pic! arxiv.org/pdf/2408.12351

Yesterday, I went to the visitor center for Goddard Space Flight Center with a friend. Me: Do you want me to take a pic of you in there? Friend: No Me: I kinda want one Friend: I know you do Me: *Posing in children’s astronaut exhibit* Friend: You know you work here now, right

When your professor *maybe* gave you hints during your PhD defense and there’s documented proof he had to during the celebrations after. Thank you Kevin Hainline, I’m so lucky to have you as a mentor and friend.

The TCGS reunion show will be streamed. Wasn't sure if it was going to happen but glad it came together. Livestream tickets at eventbrite.com/e/ucbny-grand-…

I started my lifelong dream job last week and can’t help but smile (and sometimes tear up) walking through these halls at NASA Goddard

Dr. Charity Woodrum Welcome!
