Hi bluesky astronomers! I have a big announcement: I am finishing up my postdoc at U. Arizona and will be starting a new position at the Space Telescope Science Institute as a software engineer next month! I'm really excited for this new career shift and can't wait to live in Baltimore!!

Space Drafts #103 is happening tonight (1/21) at 7:30p Tucson time at Borderlands Brewing Downtown and bit.ly/SpaceDrafts103. @whatamergerjr.bsky.social will be pulling back the curtain on radio telescopes and Meredith Stone will give us a crash course on the last century of extragalactic astronomy!

i think i've made it to the big leagues because now i get inundated with requests from students for research opportunities who all insist on calling me dr. champagne... just reminds me of being in their place ten years ago :')

The "No Math, Just Vibes" version of the passage of time for me is: 1984 = 26 yrs ago 1992 = 15 yrs ago 2000 = 10 yrs ago 2008 = 5 yrs ago 2016 = Also 5 yrs ago 2020 = Last Year 2021 = Also Last Year 2022 = The Present 2023 = 1 or 2 years from now 2024 = Next Year 2025 = The distant future

Has the field decided if we use this place for self promotion? Idk the new rules man but check out my latest submitted paper 🫠 we think we found the highest-z heavily obscured radio-loud QSO candidate via cosmos-web arxiv.org/abs/2308.12823

Congrats Wei Leong on an interesting paper!!

I was wondering where y'all went!!! Hello world!
