That’s a good list but don’t forget about the housing crash and recession of 08 right as we were finishing college

America is so so so depressing, I’ve applied for Australian citizenship and was told I’d hear in June but nothing . Plead let me hear soon.

I’m trying to grow poblanos in WA Australia and it’s not going well others tell me I have chills thrips, tried neem oil but still new growth still looks weird 🌱🌱🌱

How do we post to the Astrosci feed ? If not 🔭?

The entire of America is falling into a dark cesspool of despair but my concern today was why was vizier down all day!? 🔭

A huge cloud of energised particles (known as a radio halo) revealed in new radio observations of a galaxy cluster 5 billion light years away. It’s the largest one ever seen, 20 million light years across 🧪🔭 scitechdaily.com/invisible-st...

Our global petition to save NASA science closes this Thursday, and we’re just shy of 15,000 signatures! Every name counts, this petition will be hand-delivered to members of Congress. Add yours today, Save NASA Science. planet.ly/petition

More here. Chandra and Fermi also gone. Probes cancelled (so much work for nothing). Hard to fathom why any sane person would do this, and hoping that there is a sane majority in Congress.

Watch the solar plasma curve along magnetic field lines like iron filings near a bar magnet. #stellarastro 🧪🔭 This work was funded in part by NSF.

Ziteng (Andy) Wang @zitengwang.bsky.social tells the story behind the discovery of this unusual long period transient, in his article for @aunz.theconversation.com. theconversation.com/x-rays-have-... #RadioAstronomy #AstroSci

Thin filaments in the tails of A2255, by DeRubeis+ (w/ myself, @jurjen93.bsky.social+) A2255 is known to be a "mess" (arxiv.org/abs/2006.04808). The new @LOFAR-VLBI images add further complexity in the system, this time revealing small-scale structures in its radio galaxies arxiv.org/abs/2505.13595

Optical images from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) are amazing, ... so much happening in the galaxy group. Exploring the sky never gets boring 🤩 #extragalactic #AstroSci #astronomy #galaxies

The PASA Editorial Board and I are proud to announce PASA is now accepting Letter submissions!

A day late posting but after a lot of hard work I give you the survey overview papers for the EMU & POSSUM ASKAP surveys #EMU survey arxiv.org/abs/2505.08271 and the #POSSUM survey arxiv.org/abs/2505.08272 🔭

I love when you think you have a cool idea not done before spend several months working on it and then a paper drops doing what you were trying to do 🙁

A debut book on SETI and radio astro history by our very recent #NRAO Jansky Fellow, now Historian at AIP, @rebeccacharbon.bsky.social I'm always so exited about our fellows' successes and achievements!

Check out this new cosmic weirdo discovered using @csiro.bsky.social's ASKAP telescope! It spins so slowly that you could watch both the Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers and still have time leftover before it finishes a full rotation Read more: theconversation.com/blinking-rad...

A lot of #astronomers at JPL and Caltech have been affected by the #pasadenafires #californiafires , at least 150 have lost their homes! There’s funds being setup to help them with daily costs & recovery costs caltech.imodules.com/controls/ema... And GoFundMe setup by astronomers t.co/8M45h4cjTN

Not sure if it’s the after holiday break haze but I realized things were still slow this month and could actually try and do some science but none of my ideas suddenly felt inspiring to me or the ones that did I know I don’t have the time to devout to 😕

Is there a better perfect 3 seasons of any show than Ted Lasso?

Man! #acaedmics how did you ever hire your postdocs!? I’m going through applications of EMU posting and it’s so hard, everyone is good in different ways and I want to hire them all. No one told me how hard picking this one would be

Last month I got to go to Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, which hosts #ASKAP, the #MWA and the #SKA-low was great to see SKA on the ground, it’s really happening

I can’t stop checking the dark sad place, the x place, and every time it’s just worse … worse news worse people

#paperday We have used the gas trails of jellyfish galaxies to trace the ICM small-scale motions. We find a turbulence-like spectrum extending below the expected ICM dissipation scale, suggesting that the ICM viscosity is less than 10% of the Spitzer value. More at arxiv.org/abs/2411.07034

1- can the radio background be constrained with the SZ effect or radio SZ effect 2- not so much an odd theory but new method no had gotten to work is 2D P(D) - that is a probability of deflection or confusion analysis in multiple simultaneous dimensions — it is my white whale

Here’s just a fun astronomy 🔭picture. This shows two large galaxy cluster possibly heading towards a merger. The background is #DES, blue is #Chandra X-ray, red is high res radio from #ASKAP #EMU survey, and green is large scale radio from EMU

Seems to be a bit of an influx of people here lately (wonder why) so for astro community I’m advertising a 3year postdoc to work here in Perth on low frequency radio astronomy. Message me to chat more or pass on to anyone interested 🔭 jobs.csiro.au/job/Perth%2C...

Was reminded of this gem, 12 years old and almost all still relevant (less IDL) so funny though 🔭 youtu.be/M-AzxQeTaw4?...

Hey cosmology type people 🔭 have a student starting a project using the SZ effect, any good papers or even talks that easily the SZ effect and how the method is used to find clusters ?

The Radio Galaxy Zoo: EMU is going live! Help us link radio sources to their parent galaxies and classify them with simple descriptive tags. Discover exciting and unknown objects waiting to be found. Can't wait to hear about your discoveries! 🔭

I learned this week that my PhD advisor, Jasper Wall, has passed away. I think often of those who say how toxic their advisors, are how bad their PhD time is, to me it was one of most important & happy times of my life and likely a lot do to my excellent mentorship. I was so lucky & feel very sad 🔭

LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS! I’m gutted about the cancellation please @paramountplus.bsky.social rethink this. @mikemcmahan.bsky.social you’re a king who gave us something so special

Astro 🔭sometimes we’re burnt out and over worked and wonder why. I spent last week at a resort at a mountain in the alps, talking cool science, eating fondue , walking on a glacier and times like that I can’t believe this is my job and just get paid for this stuff

Perks of being an astronomer 🔭I was born & raised in the frozen tundra of Minnesota but now live in Perth aus, barely need a coat here. next week I’m off to Swiss alps for cosmology conference - went & bought a proper coat & thermals & cutest new snow boots, I’m ready and excited for some snow

EXCITING NEWS! The first SKA-low antennas are being installed today in Australia! Here's a feature article by @cosmicrami.bsky.social (2021) that outlines the road that has led to the development of the world's largest radio telescope: www.spaceaustralia.com/index.php/fe... 📸 M. Goh/ICRAR/Curtin

Hey euro astro peeps 🔭🔭can anyone confirm that there is online options for speaking and watching for EAS this year ? I didn’t think they usually allowed it but saw something about it so just checking

I think I like radios 🔭

Asked chatGPT to make an image inspired by my work, detecting radio emission from the cosmic web 🔭I think I like them

I feel like it might be a bad sign that I'm now thinking of my to-do list less like an agenda and more like a trolley problem

Up to five PhD scholarships available to work on exciting astronomy project ICRAR @UWAresearch 🔭- Come work with me on a PhD. Either through our ARC funded project (radio galaxies and black holes) or one of my other fun projects links below

My summer undergrad student is finishing this week and I wanted to get her a little congrats and good work gift. She doesn’t drink wine which might be a go to and I don’t know what “kids” these days like, restaurant gift card ? 🔭 any ideas

Is anyone an admin of a Slack pro account? 🔭 trying to figure out how paying for full year upfront works when they charge by active members that can change each month

Australian astronomers have used radio waves to look deep into the heart of the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae & found an undiscovered radio source. @cosmicrami.bsky.social writes how this could result in exciting science. www.spaceaustralia.com/news/radio-s... 📸 Paduano et al & NASA/ESA Hubble 🔭🧪📡

Hey extragalactic astronomers need some help 🔭 I’m teaching a grad level course this term on galaxies (first time I’m doing it), part of the course is to assign students research papers to read that they’ll summarize in 1-2 pages and do a 10 minute presentation on…. 1/2

The next SKA Pathfinders Radio continuum Radio survey (#SPARCS) meeting is to be held in Bologna Italy hosted by INAF May 6-10 2024 online talks available, Talk deadline Jan 17 indico.skatelescope.org/event/1125/ please share with interested groups or persons 🔭🔭

We need beta testers for our new radio galaxy zoo -EMU survey 🔭 Looking for people to try it out and submit feedback on what’s not clear, any bugs, things to improve please help us out www.zooniverse.org/projects/hon...

So I was thinking about something and this place still has an air of anonymity. I grew up in same place and had a super tight group of friends, they’re all still there but I left for grad school, I left to be an astronomer & I don’t regret it but literally now live on opposite side of the world… 1/2
