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!

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 🔮

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

I don’t want to justify her, but I don’t understand why attacking her specifically makes sense. There were 50+1 yes to the Bill….

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.

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

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.
Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.
Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Moving on from just testing my doppelgänger to actually learning some astronomy!
A quick chat about the history of X-ray astronomy, and the emission mechanism of Sco-X1.

this is a tragedy
We have NASA's proposed budget for FY26, and it is brutal to science. Earth science would be cut by more than half. Astrophysics (like JWST, Hubble) by nearly two-thirds. Full details at www.nasa.gov/fy-2026-budg...

If this is true -- how is it different from a huge concentration camp?
“Hamas's military wing remains operational with an estimated 40,000 fighters, roughly the same number it had before October 7…The army estimates that for every militant killed, approximately three uninvolved civilians have died.”
Haaretz’s Yaniv Kubovich reports that Israel plans to seize 75% of Gaza and relocate more than 1,3 million Palestinians in the upcoming offensive, ultimately forcing the entire population into three military zones with food supplies strictly controlled by GHF/Israel. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

This is phenomenal.
Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.
It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.
