If they could do about a timezone a day on a transatlantic steamer going west to east, did they just do 23 hour days to get around boatlag? I hope that's what they did.

With a lot of help from Manodeep Sinha (@[email protected]), the ytree code can now read merger trees saved in a new consistent-trees-hdf5 format. Have a look here: ytree.readthedocs.io. ytree aspires to be the The yt project of merger trees.

Seems to be something about being all-nighter tired that disables the part of my brain that is so intimidated by being here. It could explain why I send most of my tweets from airports.

Changes are underway on level 2 in JCMB! ๐Ÿ‘€ The Max Born collection of photos has been removed to make way for new screens which will display events and opportunities, and a new equality, diversity and inclusion project! Watch this space for more info! #PhysAstroEd_EDI

I've had a postdoc working with me since last summer. This weekend we met in person for the first time when we happened to take our children to the same playground. The very same day, I was given a free haggis (unrelated). The times we live in.

Just merged into ytree: 1. support for Illustris-TNG LHaloTree merger trees 2. selecting halos using yt data containers Putting those together, here is every halo at every time in the TNG50-4-Dark simulation. ...made possible with The yt project

Hey everyone, I just released ytree 3.0. ytree is meant to be The yt project for merger trees. It has several new features and supports 5 new data formats. It's also faster and uses less memory. Check it out at ytree.readthedocs.io. Thanks to the yt community and Manodeep Sinha (@[email protected])!
