We have a funding stream for re, for which the Universities get a small % overhead, but there‘s also a small per-undergraduate grant

I see the dilemma

In Canada, universities get some of their funds from tuition, and some from government grants. Is that the case in England?

Nice that the Milky Way shows up. Did you have any special exposure settings?

Surprisingly pleasant up there at L2

Woop woop

We’re the small Venn diagram intersection of astronomers on bluesky and Blue Jays fans.

I had thought the RNAAS versus arXiv problem had been solved. Apparently not.

Surprised that people are still surprised by this.

Me too!

Presumably from X since AFAIK bsky was not here in 2012.

This PSA is going out early to prospective students of U Waterloo’s Advanced Computational Physics, Winter 2026 edition.

One of the greats. RIP.

It’s been a bad year for goalies. www.montrealgazette.com/sports/hocke...

Horseshoe theory

Which journal did you have in mind?

Big Microscope.

I also go through the argument related to isotrope and the triangles in Fig 2.1, but I heard this attributed to Jim Gunn. You have a different reference. Who came up with this?

I think it’s in the Euclid Wide footprint, so just wait 2-7 years ;)

Sabbatical?

Now ask for the least pretentious version, please.

Lensing without mass: The matter density profile in cosmic voids from UNIONS We measure the distribution of matter contained within the emptiest regions of the Universe: cosmic voids. We use the large overlap between the Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNION...

Paper day! Led by Hunter Martin, a PhD student in my group, and using UNIONS weak lensing shapes, we have measured the "anti-lensing" signal from cosmic voids.

There's dark matter in the voids!

Like when the video projector has additional bright spots to either the side?

With all those external accelerations from distant sources, I wonder what the peculiar velocity field looks like.

I have to admit that I still haven't fully understood how the US budget system works, but this sounds like good news.

Summer is relative.
