I gotta say, launching Artemis II on April Fools’ Day is going to do nothing for the ‘we-never-went-to-the-moon’ conspiracies.

Our latest episode is out! Me and @payeldas.bsky.social got together and discussed 5 cool papers from astro-ph. Join us to learn about fruity galaxies, black holes, planet eating stars and the fate of the Milky Way ☄️🧪🔭

Author Steven Vickers wrote on Threads, "To confirm, this '100% AI generated' passage is the opening of Chapter 5 from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I think authors are going to get screwed in these AI witch hunts."

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

So well deserved!!! Congratulations professor!

The women who have made it to the top are exceptional - they’ve had to be. That can be so intimidating. Sometimes, I just want to hear they love reality TV and pigs.

Scientist friends… tell me your ‘frivolous’ hobby. 🧬🔭🧪

I’m Emma, I’m an astronomer and I love popcorn and looking at waterfalls.

A copy of Emma Chapman’s’Radio Universe’ on an American Black Walnut coffee table that I made from leftover pieces.

Got it! A copy of First Light is visible on the oak bookcase behind with some other cosmology books, along with a cat tunnel and scratching post 😀

Amazing! Radio Universe is on its way to everyone who pre-ordered!

Thank you!

Excellent (tongue-in-cheek) suggestion from Uta Frith for solving childcare issue in academia: put the nurseries on campus and in the psychology department… then we can do experiments on them! 😂😂

“Institutions must Respect, Honour and Reward the communication of science” - Jocelyn Bell Burnell 🔭📡🧪🧬

First panel of the day:
Trailblazing Perspectives with Jim Al-Khalili, Michelle Dougherty, Jocelyn Bell-Burnell (omg omg omg🤯), Uta Frith, Ijeoma Uchegbu

I’m at @royalsociety.org for a “Women and the future of science” conference. And yes, I’m wearing my women in science jewellery 💪

This morning I have travelled from Earth to the Moon, Sun, Mercury and Venus, reading the chapters of the Radio Universe audiobook. Next… to Mars!

Whoop! Thank you!

Thank you, hope you enjoy!

Oh wow it’s actually out in the world! Friends, colleagues, interested internet lurkers, please do consider buying a copy for yourself or as a present for anyone in your life who likes popular science / astronomy 🔭

It REALLY helps to do it NOW, on release week ❤️

Writing a grant proposal & it is hard to stay motivated when the proposed funding cuts are so deep. 🔭

I believe in astronomy though. I believe in using the Universe as a laboratory to test our most extreme theories of physics & I know that astronomy helps build up our economies... and our spirits.
