Today I discovered my office is a few doors down from John Mather, Nobel Prize winner for his work on the cosmic microwave background radiation and senior project scientist for the JWST 🤯

Briefly wandered over to The Other Place to gauge the response to the NASA budget devastation to encounter a bunch of gleeful 'we spend too much money, so this is great.'
TO BE, ONCE AGAIN, PERFECTLY CLEAR, THE BUDGET REQUEST MOVES ALL THIS MONEY TO DEFENSE. IT SPENDS IT. NO MONEY IS SAVED.

Very proud of all the members’ work that went into this
STEM cannot be complicit in genocide and there is no amount of “whataboutery” or “it’s complicated” that will ever justify investing our time, money and scientific skills into developing weapons, surveillance or oppression against other people

We are excited to introduce The Gravitational Wave Solidarity Committee! We're a group of gravitational-wave researchers building solidarity within our scientific collaborations for a more just future.
💫 DM us if you would like to get involved, and follow this page for upcoming events!

Now seems an apt moment to remind you that firefighters do a physically, mentally and emotionally draining job for wages that are barely acceptable. Their dedication is exploited.

A huge thanks to NEHDA for having me along to their Winter Multicultural event.
Dallas, John and all the NEHDA volunteers have welcomed me into their community since I arrived, just as they welcomed every single person to every event they’ve poured their time and labour into.

Life update: I'll be moving to DC to work as a researcher at NASA
I'll be working as part of their Astrophysics Science Division based at Goddard Space Flight Center, returning to work on the LISA mission (so still grav waves).

Weirdest coincidence, I’ve just learned Scott:
- is also from Troon
- also got an astrophysics degree at UofG
- also lives in the US
- is also a science communicator
- also interested in LISA (which stay tuned for announcements from me on that)

The LISA mission is one of the most audacious plans to study fundamental science, first conceived in the 80's it took decades for technology to reach the point where it would be possible to actually realize:

So fucking excited to go home for Christmas now it’s in 3D 🤯
I'm dying laughing. Scotland has a 3D gritter tracker and some of the names are hilarious.

Not going to lie, if someone is going to say "love you to the moon (or stars) and back" I would be quite offended.
The furthest observed object in the known universe is GN-z11, I therefore need this as a minimum.
