Terrible working conditions

Research should not feel like a job, but like a hobby you can obsess about and get paid for.

Normalize academics talking about their failures. I'll go first: We got rejected at Berghain on Saturday night.

There’s a German version of basketball where you can suplex your opponent…but only once you take your shirt off

Machine learning can help extract information about magnetic fields in radio observations: Semi-Supervised Rotation Measure Deconvolution and its application to #MeerKAT observations of galaxy clusters led by our student V. Gustafsson with Torsten Ensslin arxiv.org/abs/2407.16762

Happening tomorrow at Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian!

I was pleased to participate (and win!) my first Science Slam yesterday evening in Hamburg. I had a great time sharing stories about the history of physics, black holes, and active galactic nuclei while enjoying fascinating talks from other great researchers.

I had the privilege of visiting CERN's CMS detector today ; one of my biggest and longest-lived dreams just came true!

Just out! 🚀 Our breakthrough paper with Valeria Olivares reveals a tight X-ray–Hα filament correlation in galaxy clusters, offering some of the clearest evidence yet of #ChaoticColdAccretion fueling #BlackHoleWeather. Explore the details in our Nature Astronomy paper:

I am happily publishing my third, first-author paper! We studied the turbulent nature of the intracluster medium using exascale MHD simulations, and quantified biases affecting observations. arxiv.org/abs/2502.19486
