Thanks Ohio…

Twinsies??

Maybe, hopefully, fingers crossed, finally submitting my first first-author paper today, and I remembered this tweet I had saved from 2020. Maybe when I post the arXiv link + summary, I’ll share the playlist too…
Screenshot of a tweet from Twitter user Liza Brusman that says, “Sharing your data is cool but when are we gonna start making the playlists we listened to while doing our analysis publicly available? I need to know your data’s vibes”

I’ve done my part, but the existential dread persists.

Troublesome coauthor has not gotten the memo that I want this paper to our collaborators by the end of the week…
An image of my very large cat trying to push my laptop out of my lap for cuddles. I’m barely hanging onto the laptop. An overleaf document is open on the screen.

Whatever is going on with my laptop today is highly relatable.

The continuing saga of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkat wanting me to be unemployed…
Me laying on the couch trying to finish a research statement, while my 16 lb/7 kg cat lounges with her butt fluffs directly in my face and her head leaning against my laptop keyboard. I love her very much, despite her war on me remaining in academia.

The Horsehead Nebula, 50 years apart. The image on the left is a scan from LSU’s plate archive. It was taken in 1973 by Dr. Howard Bond, using the 24” telescope at the old LSU observatory in Clinton, LA. 🔭
A scan of a photographic plate of the Horsehead Nebula. It is a black and white negative, but you can still make out the cloud structure. Euclid’s image of the Horsehead Nebula.

Need to work on job apps but Cecilia has been like this for three hours. Clearly she wants me to be unemployed.

Asking people what‘s best to include on my professional website like:
A screencap from the show “Schitt’s Creek” showing David cooking with his mother Moira. David asks Moira, “What does that mean? What does ‘fold in the cheese’ mean?” in reference to the recipe they’re using. Moira responds, “You fold it in,” while making a face that suggests it should be obvious what to do.
