Pretty sure he has Neuralink, be a bit of a shame if someone hacked it, and fried his brain. Just saying.

Long live objective reality.
Long live the slop.

Optical image of the field of FRB 20250316A (taken from the Binospec optical spectrograph mounted on the 6.5-m MMT telescope atop Mt. Hopkins, Arizona), overlaid with the localisation ellipses from SWIFT/XRT (yellow dashed line circle) and the Eisntein Prob(purple dashed line circle). The localisation from just the KKO outrigger is overlaid as a green eliipse, and the localisaiton with all 3 outriggers is a small red circle in somewhat the centre of the image (and it is tiny).

Marveling at the first (and absolutely bonkers) subarcsecond localization with all three CHIME outriggers (www.astronomerstelegram.org?read=17114): 📡

Happy Holi folks! One day before Holi we burn a bonfire, symbolising the destruction of evil; specifically, the burning of the demon Holik, who tried to kill Prahlada, the son of the king of demons, and (paradoxically) a Vishnu devotee. Hopefully evil burns and dies in the same way like this fire.

a man in a suit and tie is giving a speech in front of a crowd of people with the words cool cool cool behind him Alt: Jake Peralta, from Brooklyn Nine Nine, standing in a court room in a suit, and saying "Cool, cool, cool" as the words appear behind him. Context: He has just heard that he (and Rosa) are going to jail.

I have made the mistake of looking at the news, and now I am hella depressed. Cool, cool, cool, cool, just the world collapsing around me, no big deal, it's all going to be fine, right? Right?

I felt this one in my bones.

For anyone interested: aspire.science.uva.nl. Anyone from the world can apply, but they are especially trying to target students from Asia, South America, and Africa, where research opportunities can be limited. Deadline: March 10th. Do help spread the word. 🔭

At least for rotation-powered pulsars one could tie the fact that they pulsate to the fact that they spin, but I do agree that an in-depth explanation is tough since we still don't understand their emission mechanisms. You do what you can with what you have, right?

To no one's surprise, as soon as Trump came into office he started attacking minorities. However, I do hope that Americans would show the same outrage when the Democrats pull off similar crap on them, and realise that "the State" never has their best interests at heart, and never will.

Thanks! It's a Logitech Pop, needed a mechanical keyboard for all the writing and coding.

It is a very #SorryChristmas after all when you have to work on Christmas (and that too in the morning).

Would love to be included. I work on FRBs and pulsars in the radio.

I suddenly got a lot of new followers this week, so maybe I should introduce myself: I am Ujjwal, a PhD student working on fast radio bursts (FRBs) at the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA), Pune, India.

Oh cool! Ya, no worries about that, securing job stability is (way more) important. Best of luck!

Hi, just saw this old post wen I got directed to the instructions by your bot. Just wanted to know which subjects/sub-fields you had in mind for these feeds? I, for one, would love a radio astronomy specific one.

I program in Julia as well, mostly as part of my research. Feel free to add me, although I am not very active on here.

Low-frequency, wideband study of an active repeater, FRB... We report the detection of a total of 135 bursts from a recently discovered active, repeating fast radio burst, FRB 20240114A with the GMRT over a frequency range of 300$-$750 MHz. The bursts were...

After months of work, managed to submit my first paper to the arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2405.09749. We detected (and analysed) a lot of bursts using the #uGMRT 🔭 from the newest hyperactive repeater on the FRB market, FRB 240114A.

Last year, I helped out in my institute's celebration of National Science Day by telling thousands of kids how the #GMRT, one of the largest radio telescopes in the world, works. Thanks to that, I have ended up in this fantastic video by Kavin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FNQ.... 🔭

The 15-m dish at NCRA in the morning. The dish is surrounded by a lot of bushes and grasses. The sun has just risen, so the color of the sky is a nice mix of blue and sunlight.

Go to see a start of a beautiful day when I (finally) woke up in the morning like a normal human being.

Me, standing in front of my poster to the right. My arms are folded, and I have a big grin on my face. You can see a building behind me, bathed in sunlight.

A bit of a late update, but I attended my first in-person conference this year! This one proved to be interesting, since I was there both as a participant, and as part of my institute's social media team.

Right where the physics ends 😆 !

I heard the drama about this somewhere in the distance on the hellsite. Glad to see a calm, methodical, and clear take on the science of it all.

You did say your code doesn't notify when one gets validated, but is there a way one can find out, apart from adding the emoji and seeing if the post makes it to the feed?

that happens sometimes, could be a long chain before it got into the hands of the spammer. just report and block, and repeat.

hey everyone! this is my first post. just moved from twitter after being away from most social media for a long time. how are y'all?
