Starting to explore LinkedIn more seriously as I enter the final couple of years of my Webb Fellowship.
Any advice on how to make it useful (and not just another social feed)?

A toothy critter cosplaying Betelgeuse for Halloween? :) This Yellowhead moray was...not thrilled I interrupted his evening hunt. This is something of a threat posture, the eel deepening its yellow head and grey stripes as a warning. One of the few species you want to be cautious around. :) 📷🌿🐟🦑

Today's reading begins with Lise Meitner, who co-discovered nuclear fission (she wrote the paper!) and was in general an INCREDIBLE trailblazing scientist.
Except, as a Jew, she had to flee Nazi Germany to Sweden and lost her professorship in Berlin. The men she worked with got the prize instead 🧪🔭

🔭 I love plotting a new JWST stellar catalogues and
colour magnitude diagram for the first time. Seeing new stars and populations. They are just so clean and beautiful. All the features you can see, from stars I have just detected for the first time ever 😊 It's a rather giddy feeling.
