Awesome!

Following up on various CO2 measurements at conferences, there is now a review article summarizing the possible ill effects of CO2 exposure: nature.com/articles/s4189…. There are a lot of possible negative effects of CO2 exposure, but there is a lot more work to be done.

We found CS masers around a high-mass protostar. They probably can be found around others. arxiv.org/abs/1909.11089

UF Astronomy is hiring: jobregister.aas.org/ad/0f863b79. It's an open search, so any PhD astronomer is eligible to apply, and we have an exciting and growing department.

Coming in at #8 (of the top ten ALMA Observatory📡 discoveries of 2019) is the saltiest discovery, yet. Narrated by the @badastronomer (aka Phil Plait), find out how ALMA was able to see a quintillion tons of NaCl orbiting a young star. public.nrao.edu/news/2019-alma… #YearInReview

#BLASTTNG has almost reached its cruising altitude of about 120,000 feet! Now begins the nerve wracking task of checking out all of the systems. #itsinthesky

Congratulations to the Astropy Project Team Astropy who have been awarded the Royal Astronomical Society Group Achievement Award for Astronomy for producing the exceedingly valuable research toolkit Astropy and fostering professional software development skills in the community. #rasawards

Hey there! Are you considering using the word “optimal” in your astronomy paper (or just about any other scientific discipline)? It’s probably not what you actually mean! Also: “nearly optimal” means nothing. That’s all. Thanks for listening!

Exceptionally good news from U.S. National Science Foundation for the #ngVLA (National Radio Astronomy Observatory | NRAO)! ngVLA represents an enormous leap forward in Radio #Astronomy and has been designed with #Astrochemistry in mind! This is a critical investment in astronomy, as important as Hubble and JWST! public.nrao.edu/news/nsf-award…

Dear astro academia, what are we doing with prospective grad student visits this year? In person and invite people from all over the country? Another year online? Some mix of both?

Astro grad programs: When are you hosting visits, and are you doing them in person? We're trying to schedule to avoid overlapping with other visits.

OK, it's not a real "Brick," but it is *actually* quite cool (icy actually). And it lies at the heart of the Milky Way! Thanks NASA Webb Telescope Check it out here using this Cosmic Data Stories cosmicds.github.io/minids/jwst-br…
