Galaxy Evolution and statistical studies of galaxies. I’m particularly curious to understand how the smallest galaxies form (and whether this has implications on our theories of dark matter and structure formation!) Outside of science I’m way too into my record collection and my chihuahuas!
okay, time for a prompt post to distract us all from the horrors. quote this post with your areas of expertise, interest, hyperfixation and/or obsession and invite your audience to ask you questions about them.
