Foggy day in St. John’s #yyt #nlwx. It makes me wonder that if we know of water worlds and ice giant #exoplanets, does that imply the existence of fog worlds?

Time for a new research project: monitoring light pollution/sky quality in St. John’s, Newfoundland, as part of a new project to support Dark Sky Preservation across the province. #DarkSkies

Next week I’m doing the CISE-SPARK lecture tour across the Maritimes. ciseatlantic.ca/initiatives/.... I am grateful for the support from the Atlantic Chairs for Inclusion in Science and Engineering @cise-atlantic.bsky.social for this opportunity.

When the weather’s nice you gotta look for sunspots. The pink sun is taken using the DWARFLAB 3 scope and the other two using the Unistellar evscope. #astronomy #wxnl #solar

Been a great Eurotrip so far, with the Earth-Space Governance conference in Utrecht, talks at U Surrey on space and astronomy and a fantastic visit to Cambridge.

This episode of Backbench was an useful description of how provinces have messed up university funding and how sessional faculty are victims of the crumbling systems. This is why we continue to need a #FairDealAtMUN for everyone. www.canadaland.com/podcast/84-f...

It’s been a great day working with my research team and students for our first Astronomy Hack day at MemorialU Dept of Physics where the students started building websites, outreach ideas and more.
