It’s been a productive week! Started off trying to debug an error and am ending it trying to debug a different error! Yay science

I have compiled a giant list of resources for astrophysics undergraduates, grad students, and people generally interested in astronomy. It’s on my website here: skylargrayson.com/references.h... Hopefully it can be of use to at least one person! And if you have good stuff to add let me know!

Hey a science people…does anyone know of a good website with resources for undergrads and/or graduate students? (Specifically in astronomy, physics, and geosciences.) Or just share your favorite resources in this thread!

Chat GPT is like that one guy in physics classes who answers every question to try and prove he’s smart but he’s always slightly wrong

Fun fact about me you may not know: aside from my galaxy work I also do astronomy education research! I’m so proud to have been a part of this paper which just got published today🥰if you’re interested in providing research experiences to online students check it out! journals.aps.org/prper/pdf/10...

It’s moments like this that I’m glad my work is so computationally focused
Good luck to all who submitted JWST Cycle 3 proposals! Don't forget to take a break, enjoy a glass of wine, and get a good night's sleep!

What do y’all think are the most common misconceptions about astronomy and physics? (Shamelessly hunting for video topics)

Astrophysicists claim the whole universe is flat, yet they have the nerve to mock flat earthers? Last I checked earth is in the universe. Pick a lane, scientists

Just spent three hours reorganizing our bookshelves and wow do I have a lot of respect for librarians. Classifying nonfiction is hard!

It’s fascinating how much this whole age of the universe thing is bringing out all the people who say “scientists are just stuck in their confirmation bias, LCDM is full of problems and this is proof scientists are stuck in one narrative!” Fellow scientists whats your response?

My toxic trait is every night I tell myself firmly that I will go into the office the next day and then every morning I wake up and decide to work from home

I study galaxy farts by simulating black holes in massive galaxies 💨
Tell me what you do in one sentence 👇
I’ll start:
I study the atmospheres of hot planets orbiting other stars. 🔥 ⭐️ 🪐

Hi! I’m an astrophysicist. You may know me from such hits as “No, I don’t care what your sign is,” “I promise NASA isn’t lying,” and “Listen, we just don’t really know what the deal is with dark energy”
