the highest i got was 1405

We don't have enough astronomers. 😂 They may have to limit the number of proposals each PI can submit.

A friend here just got: 12392 --- That would make it 2931 at 4 minutes to go!

You are obviously NOT in the panel this year! 😂

I was thinking the same.

Ahem

How do you keep all these animals from eating your veggies?

Oh that’s fantastic! Where did you learn?!?!

I spent a very productive and fun week at the Cloudy school. Working with so many bright, young, and engaging scientists was really fun and refreshing!

I want a picture of the grilled cheese sandwich!

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿
I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

I love their song. It always reminds me of summer :)

51 Pegasi b Fellowship The 51 Pegasi b Fellowship provides exceptional postdoctoral scientists with the opportunity to conduct theoretical, observational, and experimental research in planetary astronomy.

The Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics is now a new hosting Institution for the 51 Pegasi b fellowships. Come and work with us! www.hsfoundation.org/programs/sci...

What is it for?

Big results for Lyman continuum studies. We received over 180 HST orbits + >~30 JWST hours to study it at z<~3!

When self-doubt creeps in, remember that there are people in positions of power who still can't figure out how to right click.

The Physics of Superheroes (2005) used print comic books for examples of physics principles. The Iron Man and Dark Knight films came out in 2008, and now there is an entirely new source of superhero physics to explore. So I wrote an entirely new book - The Physics of Superheroes Goes Hollywood.

Apropos of nothing, a fire NEEDS oxygen to grow. Don’t give it what it needs, starve it.

It’s very hard to concentrate.

He needs to get to 3,000/day, so….. everything helps.

Some unexpected good news today: my NASA Roman project has been approved for funding. Hopefully I’ll see the money… 🤞 🤞

It’s stressful times

Ffs!
