This has taken a battle with my own depression, a PhD, a broken leg, several months, and a LOT longer thinking about wanting to write it... "Managing your Mental Health during your PhD: A survival guide* *By someone that survived" is a REAL first draft. It is WRITTEN.

Well this sums up my life so far.

I think I have found myself a new hobby and a new neighbour!

Using the MWA, we've detected a surprising radio transient that repeats every 18 minutes! Read about it in nature: rdcu.be/cFLzW ICRAR Curtin University

If my next set of COVID tests also come out negative, I'll be heading to a small sub-antarctic island called Marion! So I decided to write a thing about it. ronniyjoseph.com/2022/03/29/tun…

Team Astro from @McGillMSI and University of KZN getting ready for expedition Marion Island. #quarantinetime

Hotel quarantine - imagine spending 10 days in a plane. The only moment you live for are the dissapointing meal services that break up your day.

If the odds are in our favour, our team will clear quarantine soon, ready to sail! Instead of sharing the miseries of quarantine with you, I’ll tell you about our experiments (without typos), and why we’re going all the way down to the sub-Antarctic. ronniyjoseph.com/2022/04/06/tun…

We're finally off to Marion Island with @a_m_s_o_l and Environmentza! #expedition #astronomy

Oh CBR love it when you live up to yourself!

Turns out the sub-antarctic doesn't have a lot of internet! In between that and the post-expedition holiday I couldn't provide you with updates. So while I am writing a wrap-up, I hope you enjoy this glimpse into our scientific adventure on Marion Island. youtu.be/XAhsemPKXcA

We're live with Dr. Patrick Breysse! Tune in to the livestream: youtu.be/20nCCEzqCks Got questions? Ask them in the live chat or in this thread and we'll pass them on.

As an expat you should always have one pet peeve up your sleeve about your host country. Dear Canada, I have officially decided it's the letter format paper size.

What a way to end my postdoc in astrophysics! 4000 km of Sub-Antarctic ocean, 130 km crawling through mires and climbing over hills, and retrieving 6 radio telescopes mark the end of my final Marion Island Expedition. Excited for what will come next!

Want to get a feel for what it's like to go on a science expedition? Here's a short glimpse of our recent journey, our work, and adventure on Marion Island! youtu.be/DT1QyO86C9c
