mediocre, attention-starved right-wingers all have a button labeled “put vulnerable people in danger” that they are constantly pushing like a little rat hooked up to a dopamine dispenser. the trick is not to give them NYT articles about it

From Junellie Perez: Is there more to life than oxygen? Today's authors look into what other molecules could be observed with extremely large ground-based telescopes in the search for life on exoplanets! astrobites.org/2023/05/01/mor…

I’m incredibly honored and thrilled to be part of this year’s cohort. Congratulations to the other recipients!

After 15 years and several unsuccessful attempts to decipher the composition of the atmosphere of #exoplanet #MiniNeptune #GJ1214b, a team including #MPIA's @MariaSteinrueck now succeeded and found surprising details. Eliza Kempton UMD Science mpia.de/news/science/2…

Really interesting work by my close friends and colleague @ssagear!

howdy astro folks. new (dusty) paper on the arxiv this morning! this time concerning dust temperatures. i again put my pretend observer hat on to test how well we can infer dust temps for high-z galaxies. the results may (or may not) surprise you. arxiv.org/abs/2306.07338

AAS Publishing has launched a special series of AAS Journal Author video chats in collaboration with Black In Astro ™ for #BlackSpaceWeek to highlight the work of several incredible Black astronomers. Quadry Chance (FLORIDA) joins us to chat about exoplanets: youtu.be/iJJOPyJv_TA

From Guest: When harassers coauthor papers, the community suffers, but nobody is more affected than the Early Career Researchers within those groups. This is how we, the ECRs within the California Planet Search, have tackled the recent authorship debacle. astrobites.org/2023/06/25/exo…

Folks keep saying this like white society doesn’t react violently when Black people achieve things

To round off pride month, I earned my PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics 🚀🌈🪐 Huge thank you to everyone who came to watch. It still feels like a dream 😊

If this isn't your area of expertise, are you able to allow an external mentor guide them? Are you supportive in the choices that they make? How do you handle conflict? These are questions I HIGHLY encourage people looking at doctoral programs ask!

I’m happy to share that my research with my advisor Dr. Chris Kochanek has been awarded the NASA #FINESST research grant!

The front page of tomorrow's The Daily Tar Heel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

Our third session on #exoplanet populations and architectures kicks off with Gijs Mulders presenting on recent developments and future directions on the topic. #GiantMagellan2023

The The Kavli Foundation and the Laukien Science Foundation announce the Kavli-Laukien Postdoctoral Fellowship program to support scholars in the Harvard Origins of Life Initiative. Inaugural award recipients are Jenny Calahan and Xavier Portillo. ow.ly/HMqp50PPoly

Almost all of college football’s major problems are rooted in trying to pretend it’s something more fair, collegiate, and innocent than a billion dollar business. This too.

I hope people truly understand the monument of this. I've watch ☄️Ashley🔭Lindalía☄️ start highlighting Black astronomers on her Twitter years ago. She founded Black In Astro ™. The leadership team for Black In Astro ™ worked to develop #BlackSpaceWeek formally known as #BlackInAstroWeek

I've been asking for a database that excludes statistically validated planets for this exact reason. Statistically validated is not the same as confirmed.
