surely this is just a temporary bug, right? RIGHT!?

Yesterday I had the esteemed privilege of presenting my latest research in front of Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell at a @sydney.edu.au science symposium.

What an incredible honour to speak about my work on unknown radio objects in the presence of the person who discovered pulsars!

When a surprise trip to the pet dentist derails your paper-writing plans, but at least you have the bravest dog in the southern hemisphere

I might be a smidge biased but I am especially thrilled to see so much great work from Australian astronomers in this review / at the conference, including the awesome new radio stars catalogue compiled by @astrolaura.com - which more than doubled the number of known radio-bright stellar systems!

can we have (data)class outside?!

thankful to have such a peaceful work environment to write/code today

your annual reminder that @astropy.org let's you define your own silly little units

Just returned from the 6th (and sadly final) data science workshop of my LSST fellowship. I'll eventually write a longer piece describing the program, and its importance in the era of big-data astronomy. But suffice to say that the experience has had a profound impact on the trajectory of my career

Made it back from the US just in time to see @raynerexplainer.bsky.social's show at Sydney Fringe: Atomically Correct.

Opening night was hilariously nerdy! If you like science and puns I'd highly recommend getting tickets for the remaining shows: sydneyfringe.com/events/rache...

Had a great time talking about our search for radio stars and other transients this afternoon with the @sydmathinst.bsky.social 📡 🔭
Thanks to all who attended and asked great questions!

60 EPISODES OF NERDY SCIENCE!

Between the hectic rush of some recent astronomy conferences here in Sydney I completely missed this massive milestone!

Our conversation with @kscartist.bsky.social marked the end of Season 6 and nearly two years of this show.
