David Coulter speaking now, covering history from the Big Bang. The JADES Transient Survey looked back at the same fields, so was very useful to find supernovae.

Susannah Koeller (hope I got that right... bet I didn't... sorry) of AAS is opening now and introducing the speakers.

Wishing we were back in Hawaii! The Cal-Bridge, CAMPARE & CHAMP Scholars took a break for a group dinner while attending the #aas235 #changingthefaceofstem #diversifyingstem

Some parting images of Waikiki after a very productive and rewarding #aas235. More pics on my insta!

Excited to run into (almost literally!) Dr. John Mather at #aas235! I first met John while a grad student at Yale when he was so gracious and generous with his time to talk to a lowly grad student before a prize… www.instagram.com/p/B7C8PSQJ6m-/

Some of our incredible scholars here at #AAS235. Grad schools don’t miss out!

It was wonderful to catch up today with colleagues that hired me 20+ years ago to join the @chandraxray team. 20 years later, I’m fortunate to call them my friends. To learn that some of my code written all those years ago is still used in operations today warms my heart. #aas235

An ambassador program run by @maunakeaobs would recruit locals interested in highlighting the work & discoveries made. Would be similar to #NASA’s excellent #SolarSystemAmbassador program that seeks to connect with local communities and the value of doing basic science. #aas235

I have enjoyed hearing/learning about Hawaiian celestial navigation & stewardship of Mauna Kea at #aas235. @maunakeaobs has done great work in engaging w/local community. I think a #MaunaKea astronomy ambassador program would be a great way to share discoveries made at the summit

Evening walk after the first day of #aas235.

Last chance to check out our amazing scholars presenting today, and while you are at it, mark your calendars for the rest of the week! #AAS235

There’s a point you reach in your career when the highlights of attending a conference is reconnecting with old friends. It was great to catch up @EricMamajek today, who is now the Deputy Program Chief Scientist for #NASA’s Exoplanet Exploration Program at @NASAJPL. #aas235

Come visit the 20+ Cal-Bridge and CAMPARE scholar posters at #AAS235. List of posters can be found here:

On my way to Honolulu for the 235th meeting of the American Astronomical Society! Looking forward to reconnecting with many friends and colleagues! I also love that I’m departing from an airport named after America’s first astronaut to orbit the Earth. 🙂 #aas235 #aloha
