Hacking on long-term stellar variability this week at #tessninja in Sydney. Also making new friends...

🚀Next week: Mark you calendars for #SpaceFest on 5/27! Tune in to this online festival to celebrate the first US human mission to space in almost a decade. We’ll have programs with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jackie Faherty, Ruth Angus, & Carter Emmart. bit.ly/2ZF2PgD #LaunchAmerica

The launch was delayed, but you can still watch me talk about how science fiction has influenced space exploration as part of the American Museum of Natural History 'Scientists at home' series, filmed live on Wednesday! facebook.com/naturalhistory…

On the astro postdoc job market this year and interested in an NYC-based fellowship? You may not know about the Simons Society of Fellows which offers 3-year fellowships at any NYC institution (except the Flatiron Institute). Get in touch if interested!

We are honoured to have star-dating and exoplanet population expert, Dr. Ruth Angus, present at Astronomy on Tap this Thursday! Tune in with a beverage and learn which planet may have the best chance at finding alien life! American Museum of Natural History Flatiron Institute Columbia University #astronomy #space #astro

For this week's Flatiron CCA astro data blog post, Dr. Christina Hedges & @adrianprw made this very accurate summary of our weekly shared slide deck: astrodata.nyc/posts/2021-04-…

🗓️This Wednesday, 5/5: Join us for the next #AMNHSciCafe! Museum Curator Ruth Angus will discuss how she uses the rotation rates of stars to measure their ages & gather insights into the future of our solar system & others in the galaxy. ➡️RSVP here: bit.ly/3gTwb3k

🗓️Measuring stars' ages is one of the greatest challenges of modern astronomy. Explore this topic with us in the next #AMNHSciCafe on Wednesday, 5/5, with Museum Curator Ruth Angus. 🌌RSVP to this free event: bit.ly/3gTwb3k

“New Science is about showing the world that queer & intersectional identities are changing who does science—& how science gets done." Our newest exhibit inspires, reframes, elevates, and opens (in person & online) June 24: bit.ly/3qiQqdm #pride

Curious about astronomy-inspired theater? Join @LalaTellsAStory, Alonso Teruel, and me as we discuss astronomy on stage and stories of women scientists tomorrow at the Simons Foundation. Doors at 5:30pm. Register here: simonsfoundation.org/event/the-univ…

New paper out! Trevor David finds a number of stars rotating at a similar rate – this strengthens the evidence that stars stop spinning down at a certain age – the ‘weakened magnetic braking’ hypothesis: arxiv.org/abs/2203.08920

A new paper! We calculate 3D velocities of stars in the Kepler field by marginalizing over missing radial velocity measurements! arxiv.org/abs/2205.08901
