As we end 2024, thank you for making the first IAU General Assembly in Africa such a success! Hot off the press, an article in Nature Astronomy, summarising the vision and outcomes of this historic event. Access full article at rdcu.be/d4y1P.

Happy new year! Wishing you many magical serendipitous awesome moments and much love and happiness for you and your families ❤️

If you have a clear sky where you are, take a moment to look at the moon appearing super close to Venus. This is what it looks like from Cape Town...

We're at the #AAS245 meeting in Washington DC, with our North American Regional Office! Let's connect physically if you're here. We'll talk about IAU on Tuesday at 2pm, then a discussion on "Using Astronomy meetings to impact Society" at Exhibitor Theatre on Wednesday at 10:30.

Today at #AAS245 we'll discuss using astronomy meetings to impact on society, with the IAU General Assembly in Cape Town as an example (fully hybrid, open access, economic development, massive EPO program, etc. What else is possible?) Join us at the Exhibitor Theatre at 10:30!

Well done Dr Charles Takalana... Rocking his science talk and sharing his astronomy research (sorry not the best photo from where I was sitting). IAU-OAD is lucky to have such a multiskilled Deputy Director 🙂👍 #AAS245

It's that time of year again. Please send us your ideas on how to use astronomy in some way to make the world a better place! (deadline 31 May 2025) IAU-OAD astro4dev.org/iau-oad-2025-g…

I wrote this tribute to mothers on the first Mother's Day without Dr. Carolina Ödman. I want to share these words again. I remain in awe of mothers everywhere - they will always be key to making the world a better place. Happy #MothersDay2025 ❤️ medium.com/@kevingovender…

As humanity grapples with challenges that threaten both life and livelihoods on this fragile planet, maybe it's time for the global South to play a stronger leadership role and take up its original place at the top of the world. Happy #AfricaDay2025! ❤️ (original Blue Marble pic)

Look around today. Look at water drops on plants, light on objects, smiles or frowns of people around you. Look at this earth a bit closer, and look beyond-at the sun, the moon, the stars. This is the place in space, along the trajectory of the earth, that Dr. Carolina Ödman was born ❤️💔
