Harassment experiences are common in Astronomy but navigating them can be a nightmare...♥️
Here are 10 ways we can improve support resources in astronomy 👇♥️

i think you should be required to look at this graph and explain what it shows before you can enter general society

ANU say that it’s unethical to stick to the government stipend amount 🤔Any plans to match this at @uwanews? @UWAresearch @ProfChakma @perth_meso_dr @colmer_tim

new album drop, except it’s my thesis (photo from submission last month!)

Counting Clusters to Probe Ancient Star Formation
@astrobites's @AstroK80 reports on @NASAHubble observations of globular clusters in an ultra-diffuse galaxy. What can these observations tell us about this galaxy’s star-formation history? aasnova.org/2022/03/01/count… @princetonideas

From @AstroK80: What can counting globular clusters tell us about a galaxy's star formation history? Today's authors investigate using Hubble Space Telescope observations. astrobites.org/2022/01/14/gc…

Despite the name, some black holes effectively “shine” as they suck up nearby material with such force that they begin to glow.
New research by @ICRAR's @_jessthorne + @SabineBellstedt reveals a new method for detecting these active black holes.

What can angular momentum and stellar mass tell us about galaxy evolution? A new paper from ICRAR-@uwanews' Jennifer Hardwick uses @NAICobservatory data to better understand how our local neighbourhood of galaxies formed.

From Astrobites: Love astronomy, astrophysics, and science communication? Come join the Astrobites team! Applications due November 5th (two weeks away). astrobites.org/2021/10/22/ap…

From @AstroK80: Are past interactions to blame for the death of isolated, ultra-diffuse galaxies? Today’s authors use the IllustrisTNG simulations to find out. astrobites.org/2021/10/04/de…

I’ve put together an AGN unification diagram split into radio loud/quiet and low/high EM power. I’ve added rings to show whether a particular combination of radio emission+EM power+geometry is expected to produce broad or narrow emission lines, or MIR, radio, or X-ray emission.

From @AstroK80: How does a galaxy’s past impact its present day surroundings? Today’s authors use genetically modified simulations to investigate the effect of merger histories on stellar haloes. astrobites.org/2021/07/12/gm…

My supervisors (@astrowelshluke and @aaronrobotham) are advertising for multiple fully-funded PhD scholarships @ICRAR to work on galaxy evolution projects using large surveys: jobregister.aas.org/ad/29248…
Feel free to message me with any questions about the research group/ICRAR!

Dwarfs from ELVES: The structure of dwarf satellite galaxies
How does the structure of the smallest galaxies vary with different environments? @Astrobites's @AstroK80 reports on investigations via the ELVES survey. aasnova.org/2021/05/25/dwarf…

Well done to @AstroK80 and her colleagues for making their 2020 ESO Summer Studentships a success, despite not getting to travel to ESO HQ. Read more about it in AAL's latest ESO Blog: astronomyaustralia.org.au/es…
It was great to get the chance to present the work of my @ESO internship last night at the mini-symposium on galaxy and AGN evolution. Also great that we managed to make a timezone difference of 13 hours between speakers work!!

A study in 2014 found that 25% of people couldn't name a single female scientist. So this #IWD here's 10 female astrophysicists to celebrate
I am forever grateful to them for blazing a trail through history so that I can do the job I love today #IWD2021

My first first-author paper is out as a preprint!
Here's the preprint, and a thread on the paper:

My wonderful supervisor @CDPLagos is talking about managing a PhD at #HWSA2020 - she mentioned how twitter "eggs" can brighten your day, and discussed techniques to deal with (inevitable) criticism 👏
