ExoCup2022 How it started: 1st 3 transits ever recorded of #WASP39b by WASP planets survey, back in 2009:

ExoCup2022 How it's going: superb spectra of #WASP39b from #JWST (from Rustamkulov et al, arxiv.org/abs/2211.10487 )

Last few hours to vote for your #ExoCup2022 champion!

It's the final hours of the final vote of #ExoCup2022 and it's down to the wire for plucky #Proximab; will our nearest terrestrial planetary neighbour fall to HJ #WASP39b (and make Hannah Wakeford very happy)? There are not many votes in it right now...!

If you enjoyed learning about exoplanets during #ExoCup2022, then our monthly podcast #exocast has got you covered! Find us wherever you get your podcasts. And if you want to help us run both the #ExoCup and the show, please consider donating via buymeacoffee.com/exocast 💛

A late surge from #Proximab clinches the #ExoCup2022 title for the terrestrials! Commisserations to #WASP39b and supporters, but some great JWST data on the way for this planet soon should mean an even stronger showing in the cup next year?

Very excited to share that applications for @BBKEPS's MSc. Astrobiology are now being accepted for Oct '23. The course will provide a comprehensive grounding in a rapidly-growing field at an institution with a proud legacy of astrobiology education. bbk.ac.uk/courses/postgr…

Excellent news! Now two MSc programmes in Astrobiology in the UK. It's the highest local concentration of MSc programmes in astrobiology in the galactic neighbourhood (possibly).

Birkbeck's 'Diversity100' #PhD #studentship programme is now open to UK-based students for Oct. 2023 entry: bbk.ac.uk/student-servic… #phdlife
