Hey internet, I’m defending my Ph.D. next week! If you want the zoom link let me know. I’ll be talking about a cool imaging technique and how I used it to study how the smallest stars and largest planets form

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz

Jordan's King Abdullah made the important decision to deliver these comments in English to make sure people in the West understand the dangers of their hypocrisy on this issue.

Every minute of this epic United Nations address from State of Palestine is worth watching. She dismantles Israel's lies and disinformation, sets out what Palestine stands for, and why it will succeed. Watch and Share! #Gaza_War #Gaza_Genocide

Heads up: This is the strategy. They don't need to win Congress. They just need to win the presidency and then the new DOJ can prioritize the enforcement of the Comstock Act (a law that was enacted in 1873 and has been unenforced, tho still on the books, for much of our lives).

From astrobites: The genocide in Gaza demands our attention and our action. As astronomers and members of the global scientific community, we cannot ignore the immense suffering and devastation inflicted upon our colleagues. astrobites.org/2024/03/27/ast…

From Guest: In today’s beyond Astrobite Óscar shares how the DACA program enabled him to pursue his Ph.D. in Astronomy, but leaves the community with questions about how we can create the same experiences for undocumented students if DACA is abolished. 🔭 astrobites.org/2024/07/24/und…

had the great privilege of editing this bite for Óscar who is one of the most hardworking and kind person. Academics should be planning for the very real possibility that DACA is dissolved—we can’t support undocumented students in the current academic framework without DACA.

The 1st glimpses of the early universe from #NASAWebb found galaxies much more massive than expected. New research led by UT Austin Astronomy grad student Katherine Chworowsky reveals those galaxies weren’t too big for their britches after all. Find out why: cns.utexas.edu/news/research/…

The irony of her name being ROSALIND is blowing my freaking mind. She’s the FIRST AUTHOR OF THE PAPER. And today she gets to celebrate HER HUSBAND. And the men wonder why we’re all so FUCKING ANGRY
