TIL Ring Galaxies are a thing

It’s here! Episode 3 of This Week In Astronomy :) What’s up with jellyfish galaxies? Featuring new work by Nicholas Luber et al. at WVU Mountaineers · Let's Go!

Melting Martian snow/ice left salt trails as trapped water pools evaporated, discovery by fmr Ehlmann Research Group, Caltech student, Dr Ellen Leask, now Johns Hopkins APL. Much to our surprise, careful sleuthing w/ NASA Mars MRO and Odyssey orbiters showed some are 2Gyr old, surprisingly young for Mars!

happy large boulder the size of a small boulder to all those who celebrate

I’m doing a thing! Cosmos Crusaders is an awesome podcast dedicated to raising the voices of astronomers from all backgrounds ❤️

A part of our interview with Ell Bogat we thought was especially important was when they stressed how impactful adding your pronouns to your email sign offs and introductions is to promoting gender inclusivity. An easy step we can all take to make our field a better place!

Super happy to be included in this episode of Cosmos Crusaders 🖤🖤 (interview starts around 8:50 and talks about my research as well as life as a queer scientist and grad student) @ologies here I come lmao I wish

A bit of Saturn

A bit of Saturn

Alrighty @ologies b/c this is literally my dream (and y’all are a big part of why I started my PhD in the first place) I’m officially shamelessly pitching an exoplanet episode!! Exoplanetology? Planet morphology?? (I know you did astrobiology but what about ULTRA HOT JUPITERS)

Happy #TransAwarenessWeek! sounds like a good week to become aware of our cool new poster

Applications are due two weeks from today!! 📢📢📢 Come join us this January and take part in a paid research internship in astronomy & physics! #BlackInAstro #BlackInSTEM #BlackInPhysics #NativeInSTEM #LatinxInSTEM

Come hang!

Stunned and overjoyed to share that I will be the Principal Investigator of a cycle 2 observation program with JWST!!! Baby exoplanets here we come 🔭 #jwstcycle2
