😍 these Canberra sunrises 🌅

Paper day: Jia Wei Teh, formerly working with Dr Katie Grasha Research at ANU and now Uni Heidelberg , quantified photon escape fractions from HII regions in the galaxy NGC628. Low-luminosity regions are leakier! arxiv.org/abs/2306.05457

Happy National #ScienceWeek from Mount Stromlo #WomenInSTEM 🌟

I am completely speechless.

ARC is proud to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay by profiling one of our top early career scientists. As a Research Fellow at ASTRO 3D, Dr Grasha Dr Katie Grasha shares her inspiration for becoming a scientist and her pathway to success as an astronomer. More:
