Today we crack open Young Massive (Stellar) Clusters! Shashank shares a recipe for cooking up YMCs via computational collision, Lucia peeks at their emergence from dust-embedded embryonic environs, and we wrap up by talking about Wittgenstein, for some reason. 🔭

This week we cover the misunderstood middle child of astrophysics: Intermediate Mass Black Holes! Cole covers their globular cluster gains, Cormac picks a precessing pair, and Lucia really abuses her ability to add sound effects to our recording.

This week, Lucia, Cormac, and Shashank dive into the depth of the Mediterranean Sea and journey to the icy desert of Antarctica to discover more about neutrinos.

Photo: first detection of a neutrino in a bubble chamber (1970).

Wondering what to do at #EAS2025Cork tomorrow?

Come along to SS45, which is the early career researchers session! In the morning (9:40) I'll be giving a talk about the astronomy feeds - how they started, how they work, and how to make the most of social media as an ECR 🔭☄️

The more things change, the more they, uh, change. This ep covers events changing our night sky view. Cormac presents a star bullying a black hole accretion disc, Shashank, a persnickety pulsar, and Cole gets his pulsar music rant cut for time.

Cork folks: this should be great fun! And a chance to mingle with professional astrophysicists! We don’t look at stars in our back garden, we unveil the workings of the Universe!

Anyone going to #EAS2025 please consider singing up to chat with the public and take part in our astronomer bingo game!

In this episode, we say goodbye to one of our beloved hosts, Sabrina Berger. We look at the depths and breadths of Sabrina’s research experience, ask about her experience in 3 different countries and her advice for future grad students!
