Queer astronomers everywhere: help me out! I am a producer on the Cosmos From Your Couch team from the @DunlapInstitute. We’re putting together a feature video of LGBTQIA2S+ astronomers to release during Pride Month and we would like your help!

Folks, this is the reality of #Starlink. My heart literally just sank into my stomach. I used DECam as a member of @theDESurvey for 5 years. This is horrifying. If you're still wondering what the controversy is over these satellites, this is only part of it.

Thank you @akkagawa for this article. As a Mi'kmaq person and astronomer, I struggle with the question of how I talk about astronomy and STEM to Indigenous youth. medium.com/@akkagawa/maunake…

As academics I think we are typically TERRIBLE at celebrating small accomplishments in science. It’s a long, hard slog sometimes and we need to #celebratethewins greatperformersacademy.com/m… #CASCA2019 #inspiration

Fraction of women and men in Canadian astronomy, collected by @AstroCanada. Clear trend of women leaving astronomy as career stage increases. #womeninSTEM
The catchphrase of #CASCA2019 is "... when @NASAWebb comes online we'll be able to...." :)

We're having an important conversation about #TMT at the #CASCA2019 Graduate Student Workshop, a sensitive issue that I think astronomers often don't want to talk about.
