I get home from observing at 5:30 AM, and my cat (whomst I found while observing!) is laying on the kitchen rug angry-staring at me in the dark like a TV parent waiting up to tell their kid off for breaking curfew.

Could our generation see the end of astronomy? Dr. Lindsay ⊙ writes about the impact of space debris. astrobites.org/2023/04/12/end…

Sorry I’m late, I had a random thought while sitting in the parking lot that lead me down a 20-minute Wikipedia rabbit hole.

well. University of Michigan has officially docked all pay but $100 for april from its grad workers, putting many of us in a position of dangerous financial precarity. friends/allies, please consider donating to Grad Employees' Org UMich strike fund at givebutter.com/GEOStrikeFund. we need all the help we can get ✊

This is absolutely ridiculous -- a company wants to launch satellites so people can buy artificial shooting stars. The last thing we need is more space junk & threats to the night sky. Thank you Dr. Lindsay ⊙ for sharing -- please sign! chng.it/5NZD6BpV via Change.org

From Jenny Calahan: The graduate students at the University of Michigan have been on strike for nearly a month now. This bite explains the history, recent updates, and how you can help support teachers, students, and researchers. astrobites.org/2023/04/28/gra…

Harassment experiences are common in Astronomy but navigating them can be a nightmare...♥️ Here are 10 ways we can improve support resources in astronomy 👇♥️ baas.aas.org/pub/2023i020/r…

(Cross-posted from BAAS) Early-career astronomer Floor Broekgaarden 💫 tackles harassment in astronomy and offers 10 ways the field can improve access to support resources astrobites.org/2023/05/25/ten…

Just want to acknowledge this Astrobite by Kate Storey-Fisher, Gourav Khullar, Dr. Mia de los Reyes, and Meredith Rawls while I'm observing at CTIO: astrobites.org/2019/09/10/ast…

Day 70: the one where businessinsider Netherlands says "Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites are ruining images from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, threatening future science"

I always wanted to be an Elizabeth Bennet, but it turns out I’m more of a Charlotte Lucas (27 years old, no money, no prospects, a burden, frightened)

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…

In eight new papers, NANOGrav PFC presents evidence for a gravitational wave background. In this bite, we provide an overview of their results and their implications #pulsartimingarrays #GravitationalWaves astrobites.org/2023/06/28/dro…

Hi Twitter folks, I've made a comic/illustrations for the first time about the recent detection of gravitational wave background by NANOGrav PFC and other PTAs.

From Erica Sawczynec (she/her): As astronomers, many of our lives have been touched by the islands of Hawaiʻi & now it’s our kuleana (responsibility) to show up for the Hawaiʻi community when they need us most. astrobites.org/2023/08/15/mal…

paper day! 🥳 we tried astrobites lesson plans with a bunch of students to see how it affected them (hint: it was good!) students felt better about reading research literature afterwards, plus lots of other positive effects as described in our paper: arxiv.org/abs/2309.05822
