how do you all pronounce the wifi network eduroam:

edge-you-roam (or ed-you-roam)
or
e.d.u roam (ee-dee-you-roam)
?

oh, I'm with you then :)

so what exactly do you do if you need separate PDFs in a single project?

clouds fucking suck

Clearly the original intent of the founders was to disenfranchise liberals.

Oh I’m sure the Supreme Court will find a reason to say the Texas gerrymander is constitutional and the California one is not.

3391 scientific papers for 2729 days of science.

TIL There's more than 1 paper per day published using TESS data: 🔭🧪

Yay Pandora and SPARCS!

Several days of working on the logistical crap around a proposal (biosketch, C&P, budgets, compliance, etc) really makes me want to quit. This is, by far, the worst part of being an R1 professor. 🧪🔭

Another professor told me to watch out for radiation while teaching this semester. They weren't joking...

I’m just replying cause I’m also interested.

⭐️ TWO papers hit the arXiv right before Thanksgiving! Check out TIDYE IV and SOYSAUCE I ⭐️

Astronomers Have Discovered the Pleiades’ Secret Stellar Family The “Seven Sisters” of the Pleiades are part of a much larger complex that can help reveal our galaxy’s deep history

Excellent coverage of a major result from our team! 🧪🔭 @sciam.bsky.social

I can confirm the lead author, Andy Boyle, also read your article and loved it.

Just realized @philplait.bsky.social wrote this

I wrote this! The Pleiades are up high to the south after sunset now for northern hemisphereans, so take a look at them tonight after reading my article.

Are all the jokes this bad though?

Weird to have a call for TESS cycle 9 when money hasn’t been approved from the cycle 8 call… 🧪🔭💩💰🤑

Capturing the cosmos - College of Arts and Sciences Recent research by Carolina astronomers has produced new images showcasing the majesty of space.

Astronomers of BlueSky, I generally use Conda to manage my many python environments. I am being told (by a developer friend) that UV is far better. I'm timid taking advice from a programmer that doesn't know how bad astro code is...

What does everyone else use?

Nice paper you got there. Give me $3K.

He is the subject of a 700-page bestseller that argues being a terrible boss is actually a mystical state called 'Demon Mode,' rather than just being a rich guy with no impulse control.

He is a visionary genius who is single-handedly saving humanity... mostly by banning journalists who make fun of him and manually boosting the engagement of an account called 'Catturd2'

He’s the only man in history who could look at a subway—a train that moves thousands of people efficiently underground—and ask: 'But what if this was smaller, more dangerous, and had traffic jams?

Loeb’s Behavior is Reckless I’ve largely ignored Loeb for the past few weeks. When he started in on his 3I/ATLAS thing, there were plenty of mainstream media outlets willing to give his claims a wide and credulous platform, and ...

Some have argued to me strongly that even if Loeb is wrong, he’s getting people interested in 3I/ATLAS and that’s a good thing for science.

But Loeb isn't just wrong, he's recklessly following an old playbook that got 39 people killed in 1997.

Stellar Obliquities of Young Systems, Atmospheres Undergoing Contraction and Escape (SOYSAUCE): a likely aligned orbit for the 3 Myr planet TIDYE-1 b Despite the wide range of planet-star (mis)alignments in the mature population of transiting exoplanets, the small number of known young transiting planets are nearly all aligned with the rotation axe...

The third paper in as many weeks from the Young Worlds Lab. This paper from @madysonbarber.bsky.social (her third for the year) is focused on the spin-orbit alignment of a 3 Myr planet IRAS04125+2902b
