It's a rough week for galaxy formation and cosmology: Prof. Avishai Dekel (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) passed away today. He was a leading scientist — some would say a force of nature — who was doing cutting-edge science right up to the end: he had a new paper on the arXiv last week. 🧪

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that
