Dr Jake Taylor

30 years ago was the discovery of the first exoplanet orbiting a Sun-like star. This discovery kickstarted a whole new field of Astrophysics. Here is me in 2016 on an observing run at the observatory where it all happened. Little did I know I’d still be studying exoplanets nearly a decade later!

For some reason ChatGPT got so much worse recently for coding

Thanks for sharing!

Lots of ESA instruments made observations

Has there been any official releases about the observations of 3I/ATLAS from various instruments on Mars? Lots of images circulating on Twitter and I’m wondering if they are official.

The Norman Lockyer Fellowship is a great opportunity for postdoc research in #Exoplanets, and we'd love to host you at St Andrews!

Feel free to reach out if you're interested in joining our exoplanet group in beautiful Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🪐

Infographic showing the path of comet 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object to enter our Solar System. It displays the orbits of Earth, Mars and the Juice spacecraft around the Sun, along with key dates and events as comet 3I/ATLAS travels through the inner Solar System in 2025. Coloured and numbered dots mark important observation points by telescopes and spacecraft.

All eyes on #3I/ATLAS ☄️

Our Mars Express & ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter will observe the comet around its closest approach to Mars on 3 October 2025, when 3I/ATLAS will be around 30 million km from the red planet.

Stay tuned and follow esa.int/3IATLAS 🔭🧪

I feel like all astronomers should get an extended JWST submission deadline if the US government shuts down.

True!

People who do medical sciences truly blow my mind, unsung heroes.

There’s nothing vinegar can’t fix x

Fighting for my life, once again, trying to get pandexo and pandeia to work. The most problematic python packages in existence.

I never expected big capitalism to go against big pharma but here we are!

Do people in the US know that Tylenol is the name of a brand?

Wow!

It would tell me I’m super human

I keep failing a captcha but I promise I’m human

Wasting butter?

I stay ready!

I’m so brand loyal to Tesco that buying equivalent products from Sainsbury’s don’t taste as good

Very proud of Keely and Georgia in the 800m final!

The future of physics in the UK is very bleak

Every day I open up the internet and it’s like 10 new things

Gen V is back for season 2, yessssss, the world is good again

Keir Starmer spends too much time tweeting and not enough time doing. We don’t need politicians on social media, this is ridiculous. He’s every day tweeting empty claims.

I miss having a phone with buttons, I specifically miss my blackberry curve.

Hahaha I’m too busy applying for funding and doing services for the community I may not be in for much longer

Postdoc appreciation week is so funny at Oxford because it’s like “here is a free tour of the library and some pizza”

Will there even be a pension when I am older? Will retirement be a thing of the past?

YouTube video by BOWIE+ Seminars How to Observe 3D Atmospheres for Impatient Exoplaneteers by Michael Radica

As a part of the soft launch of the BOWIE+ Seminar Series in July, Dr. Michael Radica gave a talk on how we discern the three dimensional structure of exoplanet atmospheres from observations. The video is now available. #exoplanets #astronomy
