Fun evening playing Astronomy Trivia, Simon Gazagnes edition! Congrats to our impressive winners: Grace Telford, Noah Rogers, and Tucker Jones! #UVgalaxies2023

In part III of our Beyond Astronomy series, Julianne Dalcanton shared her valuable insights on building and leading more inclusive groups and collaborations.

In part IV of Beyond Astronomy, Lisa Kewley shared lessons learned from bringing Astro3D in Australia up to 50:50 gender statistics. Looking ahead, it is (beyond) time to improve the statistics of all marginalized groups. #UVgalaxies2023

Reflecting on the lessons learned so far this week at #UVgalaxies2023 and remember an ACLU core value: when we focus on the most marginalized groups, we improve equality for all. Our BIPoC, trans, and BIPoC trans siblings need us now more than ever.

Speed collaborating was such a blast - an incredible New Friend Rate (NFR) of just 3 min / connection! #UVgalaxies2023

Fun back-to-school faculty dinner and welcome to our newest band member, Julian Muñoz!

When I was a new Assistant Professor I learned this and thought it would only apply to things I didn't want to do. Now, 15+ years later, it's clear that many of the things I have to say "no" to are things I actually want to do, but just don't have time. That's the tough part.

Back after a 4-year break! We just wish we could have had slightly better weather for our visiting speakers. 🌧️

I’m beyond excited to announce the formation of the Cosmic Frontier Center! This new center housed in NaturalSciences @ UT Texas Astronomy will bring together observers and theorists to tackle the most pressing problems in galaxy formation. astronomy.utexas.edu/research/cosmi…

We’re kicking things off with a prize postdoctoral fellowship. Please apply! jobregister.aas.org/ad/c8bd5195 Write me or any of the other involved faculty (including @MBKplus @astrocaits Danielle Berg (she/her/hers)) with any questions, and stay tuned for more info about our center!

Come hang out with us Nov 14th! The incredible Grace Telford is not to be missed!

So grateful to be a part of this amazing team and so excited for all of the UV science of metal poor galaxies we are going to do with UVEX!

Congratulations to Julianne Dalcanton (Julianne Dalcanton) on being elected as a member of the 2024 class of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences! Julianne is the director of the Flatiron Institute Center for Computational Astrophysics. American Academy of Arts & Sciences #FlatironCCA simonsfoundation.org/2024/04/24/cca…

Chandra X-Ray Observatory is in trouble. Losing it could set the field back decades. trib.al/kidPLhh

So well deserved! Congrats Jane Rigby and thank you for lighting an inclusive path for the rest of us! 💕🏳️‍🌈

We are funding two new AI institutes with U.S. National Science Foundation to help astronomers understand the cosmos: NSF-Simons AI Institute for Cosmic Origins led by UT Austin and NSF-Simons AI Institute for the Sky led by Northwestern. simonsfoundation.org/2024/09/18/nsf… #science #astronomy

Today is Webb’s 1000th day in space! 🎉 Our #UnfoldTheUniverse "Lifer" checklist: A spacecraft impacting an asteroid Unexpected dust (supernova remnants and early galaxies) Exoplanets atmospheres Early black holes The farthest galaxy (so far!) What's your fav discovery?
