Hi early career astronomers! @ExoCharbonneau's excellent presentation on "How to apply for Postdocs (in the USA)" as part of our Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian workshops is now available for you on YouTube: tinyurl.com/4pynnhem, The slides are at tinyurl.com/2p8kcp64

Does anyone have any current references for what percentage of students accepted into astronomy graduate programs have had prior research experience? #phdchat #AcademicTwitter

I have this thing where natural disasters seem to follow me on trips. Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanos… My family has been joking about it my whole vacation and now when I finally arrive to NZ, guess what happened… Thankfully it was small!

And now there’s a fire in my hotel…

Got to do something super special yesterday!

Hey, #ExSSV! If you are excited about the prospects for finding auroras on exoplanets, come find me at poster 624.42 tomorrow (Thursday) and let’s chat! No auroras from exoplanets so far, but we’re knocking down those upper limits! I feel like we’re so close!

Breaking news: the Event Horizon Telescope team unveils strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*. This new image suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes. #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole

The EHT polarization images of M87* and Sagittarius A* indicate that these beasts have similar magnetic field structures. This suggests that the processes that govern how a black hole feeds and launches a jet may be universal features! cr. EHT Collaboration

Super stoked to be speaking at the #EclipseOverTexas2024 event hosted by Lowell Observatory, Baylor University, Discovery, and the City of Waco! Coming to the event? Check out my talk about How Stars Shape Worlds at these times!

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

#aurora seen in #flagstaff KAFF News

Since a crazy fraction of the world is seeing an #aurora right now, it’s a good time to highlight the awesome science we’re doing at Lowell Observatory by searching for AURORAS on EXOPLANETS! 🤯

I have been compiling all the historic G5 aurora pictures everyone has sent over and bookmarked some landmark records likely broken from that Did you see it? post two days ago. All I can say is wow. Here is each continents around the globe reports. 1/7

Flagstaff Astronomy on Tap at Mother Road Brewing with Lowell Observatory's Dr. Tyler Richey-Yowell!

How to make sure the monsoon season comes to Arizona: just schedule me on the telescope with time critical observations😑

Dear friends who write NSF GRFP rec letters, this year rec letters are due BEFORE the applications, so about 10 days earlier than normal on Oct. 11. Please don't let NSF's deadline change on rec letters screw over the applicants in your lives.

Everything is booked so it's official! I will be spending the end of the year in Tenerife, Canary Islands as an Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) Early Career Visitor! So excited to do some fun science, meet new people, and learn more about European astronomy efforts!

It's five now. Jason Tumlinson and the HWO Folks have set up this one, which is now at $3K+ in donations and sending out money immediately. More funds for broader community are coming ... gofundme.com/f/support-nasa…

The American Astronomical Society (AAS) will issue full registration refunds for all of our colleagues impacted by the devastating fires in CA. If you are an #AAS245 registrant and in CA standby for an email on how to request your registration. We at the AAS are heartbroken for you and ready to support.

Hey, #AAS245! I’ll be giving a talk about searching for EXO-AURORAS Monday morning at 11:10AM in National Harbor 13! Come listen and say hi 👋
