Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Here's what inspired some of the women in OzGrav to study the universe. What inspires you?

This figure! This is the most complete census of what we, humanity, have learned about dark energy. 6 multinational experiments, decades of work by 1000s of physicists, and petabytes of data later, this's the most we can say about #darkenergy's evolution. arxiv.org/abs/2502.06929

Yay!! Go Dr. Rebecca Davies, PhD!

Why to stop buying this book for your physics-interested young people: I read this as a 14 year old girl and that made me feel as welcome as you would expect with the content youtu.be/TwKpj2ISQAc?si…

DESI's DR2 BAO results are out!! TL;DR... 1/n DESI Survey

So honored and excited! #BlackInAstro

This ep we cover the big boy on cosmology campus: LCDM. What can't this model explain about the universe? Shashank gives a tour through galaxies' dark matter hearts and Cormac shows how 1500 (ish? Unclear on this one) supernovae may hint at a flaw in LCDM. astrosoundbites.com/2025/04/12/epi…

In this episode, the (domestic) American sector of Astro[sound]bites covers the recent proposed budget cuts to NASA, the largest in its history. We cover the downsides these cuts would have for science and the economy, and what you can do to speak out. astrosoundbites.com/2025/05/24/epi…

The more things change, the more they, uh, change. This ep covers events changing our night sky view. Cormac presents a star bullying a black hole accretion disc, Shashank, a persnickety pulsar, and Cole gets his pulsar music rant cut for time. astrosoundbites.com/2025/06/21/107/

Congrats to Natasha Van Bemmel on winning an MNRAS Student Prize. The MNRAS editors selected her first‑author paper, An Optically Led Search for Kilonovae to z~0.3 with KNTraP, as one of six best student‑led publications this year, what a debut!

Today is the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples! On Wajarri Yamaji Country in WA, each ASKAP radio telescope carries a Wajarri name — honouring the land, language, and culture of its Traditional Owners. #InternationalIndigenousPeoplesDay #ASKAP #WajarriYamaji

I had so much fun on the The LIUniverse with Dr. Charles Liu podcast!!! Thank you for having me :)

💥NEW! Measuring the Stars with Sabrina Berger. How does a star form? How does the universe form? How can we use data to answer those questions? sabrina berger-marcelo (she/her) discusses w/us from Melbourne! 🎧wherever you get your #podcasts ⏬ podbean.com/media/share/pb… ▶️youtu.be/V-3GxN8gGy8
