Thanks to our members for attending our first town hall of the year! We started with an ice breaker of "if you were a photon on the electromagnetic spectrum, where would you be?" and Astrobiter, @MarkPopinchalk plotted it here!

For the last talk of #AAS241, we have Dr. Anthony Brown from Leiden University with his plenary, “The Gaia mission: Teamwork for a billion stars.” Check out @theAstroHammer’s interview with him here: astrobites.org/2023/01/12/me…
I did another interview of the AAS keynote speakers for @astrobites! This one takes me back to Leiden! 🇳🇱😃
#AAS241
From @theAstroHammer: For the past decade, ESA's Gaia mission has helped reshape astronomy in more ways than you can probably think of. You can hear more about Gaia in Prof. Anthony Brown's plenary talk at #AAS241! astrobites.org/2023/01/12/me…

From Guest: Remember that you are also a creation of the universe. You are as mighty as the stars, the galaxies, and the planets. Billions of years and a series of miracles went into making you. You are, and have always been, enough. astrobites.org/2022/10/13/la…

[disclosure: I have not yet read this!]
But: This is a powerful abstract (by @melissadancy and @stemScholar) about equity and inclusion in physics! (And it’s a subject on which qualitative research can be extremely valuable.)

We're celebrating #HispanoLatinoHeritageMonth! Gloria Fonseca Álvarez is a Nicaraguan postdoctoral research associate at @NOIRLabAstro. She misses being surrounded by people with the Nicaraguan accent, and her “favorite dishes like chancho con yuca and gallina rellena!”

From @carophant: Plenty of committed and planned heists give examples of how to steal diamonds and pearls. But how to steal a whole planet? Easy! You just need to be a star in a star forming region. astrobites.org/2022/09/13/he…
