We're excited to welcome you soon at #MPE, @suchitra.bsky.social! 🤗

My advisor, Karin Öberg, says you’re ready to graduate once you start dressing like your advisor. It’s therefore fitting that yesterday we matched (unplanned) during my dissertation talk :) Excited to share I defended my PhD & will be going to @mpe-garching.bsky.social to work with Paola Caselli!

Almost 14 years ago, I started developing a Monte Carlo code for dust evolution in protoplanetary disks. The code is now publicly available! 🚀 This was possible thanks to the hard work of @turbulenthuman.bsky.social ‪and @nereagurru.bsky.social‬ 🙌

visiting this piece by @suchitra.bsky.social today as I'm having trouble focusing on my astronomy work in light of... all that's going on 🧪🔭☄️👩‍🔬 #womeninSTEM

reason # 1,000,000 why i love @astrobites.bsky.social sm: whenever one of passes our PhD defense we post in #random a congrats and shower them with fun emojis. I think it speaks the strong community and care of each other in the collaboration. ❤️ p.s. congrats to Dr. @suchitra.bsky.social !!! : )

SAVE COSMIC SCIENCE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS! I wrote about the current astronomy/particle physics/cosmology 🔭 ⚛️🧪 funding catastrophe in context of all of the other ongoing catastrophes, including what we can do to save our science. h/t to @skylargrayson.bsky.social for posting the image.

The Spencer Foundation is offering rapid response bridge funding for those who lost NSF research grants. www.spencer.org/grant_types/...

I was reminded of an outreach thing the Rosetta team did: They hired a perfumer to recreate the "smell of a comet" - www.europlanet.org/europlanet-m.... It was distinctive.

Today on the #arXiv: Narayanan et al. 2025, "Thermal Desorption Kinetics, Binding Energies, and Entrapment of Methyl Mercaptan Ices" - arxiv.org/abs/2504.01102 If you were wondering what a protoplanetary disc might be said to smell like.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

#AAS245 Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 245th AAS meeting in National Harbor, MD. It was a GREAT week of science & we couldn't have done it without you. See you in Anchorage for #AAS246 (call for proposals opens soon!). #ExploreAstronomy ✨

go see Suchi today !! 🔭

Hi #AAS245! I'll be giving my dissertation talk today, Mon, 1/13, 3:10pm (142.07D) in Maryland Ballroom D! :) I'm excited to share that my work received the AAS Doxsey Prize. Also thank you to #ExoPAG31 for the opportunity to give an early career research talk yesterday!

Great presentations, engaging discussions, and valuable community inputs at the ExoPAG 31 meeting! A big thank you to everyone who joined and contributed 📸👏

@suchitra.bsky.social's dissertation talk: Understanding organosulfur chemistry in star- and planet-forming regions using experiments, observations, and theory on Monday, January 13, 2025, 3:10–3:30 PM in Maryland Ballroom D

Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself on here officially. I am Suchi(tra) Narayanan, a fifth (& final)-year #astrophysics PhD candidate/NSF Fellow studying the chemistry of planet formation using experiments, observations, and theory to reconcile what is known as the missing sulfur problem.
