Today I defended my Ph.D dissertation, “Atmospheric Refraction as a Tool for Stellar Flare Science in the Rubin LSST Era” (You don’t get to say that everyday!) Happy to say it was successful thanks to my amazing mentors @fedhere.bsky.social and @jradavenport.com.

In a way, it’s a privilege to have a front row seat to watch the decline of the American empire unfold in real time. But it gets less fun when you and your friends and family are subjects of that empire. Pic related.

Just gave my dissertation talk at #aas245! Many thanks to everyone who came and supported me and my mentors @fedhere.bsky.social, and @jradavenport.com. Awesome to see the excitement for early science with @vrubinobs.bsky.social!
And big thanks to @startorialist.com for assisting with the fit!

Grim topic but very recommended. Knowing the details of how fascist movements took root and gained power is so important if we want to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
