Dr. Genevieve Schroeder

🎉 Huge congratulations to Prof. Giles Novak of @CIERA_NU on being named a 2025 @APSphysics Fellow! Honored for pioneering work in submillimeter polarimetry, star formation, and outstanding mentorship. A well-deserved recognition! 🌟

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men.
Studio executives, so many people.
After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her.
What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill

Paper day! I observed the merger driven long GRB 211211A to see if it created a magnetar (spoiler alert: we didn’t see anything). But since 211211A is so nearby and in a dense environment, we are also able to place constraints on the kilonova afterglow, similar to 170817!

Today I submitted my final paper from grad school (a year late but who’s counting). Keep an eye out for it on the arXiv next week!!

Text detailing how MSU isn’t accepting grad applications for astronomy on their website

Sign of the times- Michigan State, one of the biggest astronomy programs in the USA, is not accepting ANY applications for its graduate program this year 😖

In the middle of a week of interesting talks on radio transients at Dynamic Radio Sky 2025.

Is great to welcome so many people to @sydney.edu.au and @ozgrav.bsky.social for our meeting - and particularly all postdoctoral reseachers and PhD students.

The next generation of #RadioAstronomy!

In the month of July I submitted 6 proposals for 2 radio telescopes (3 each), submitted a paper, gave 3 talks (one in Australia) and took who knows how many hours of VLA observations

In August I hope to be able to breathe a little!

I’ll be giving a Special Seminar at Caltech tomorrow on this work, and will also be presenting on it at the Dynamic Radio Sky conference in Sydney, Australia next week!

This study represents some of the latest and deepest radio observations of SNe Ic-bl, and our non-detections place strong constraints on highly off-axis jets (>60°) with GRB-like energies (10^51 erg)

Here’s our plot outlining our suggested follow-up strategy!

A Late-time Radio Search for Highly Off-axis Jets from PTF Broad-lined Ic Supernovae in GRB-like Host Galaxy Environments Hydrogen/Helium-poor stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae with broad lines (SNe Ic-bl) almost always accompany the nearby ($z < 0.3$) jetted relativistic explosions known as long duration gamma-...

🚨New paper alert!🚨

Tl;dr: we observed a sample of 14 SNe Ic-bl (in GRB-like host galaxies) at ~10 years with the VLA, looking for radio emission from off-axis GRB jets. We had one promising candidate, and devised a strategy for better follow-up of SNe Ic-bl in the future!

@genevieveschroeder.bsky.social (Cornell) et al. present late-time radio imaging of a sample of SNe Ic-BL. In the images here, at the optical location (left) of SN PTF10tqv, they detect very late-time (> 10 years !!!) emission with the VLA (middle) and MeerKAT (right).

Today I submitted my first paper of my postdoc! Will be submitting it to arXiv on Monday so keep an eye out for it next week!!

NASA started in 1958, so to cut it to early 1960s levels is back to an era when NASA was just beginning.

It is so alarming seeing many senior colleagues at NASA, international scientific leaders and innovators, saying their goodbyes on social media and e-mail.

Over 2,000 senior staff set to leave NASA under agency push The losses could endanger the administration’s plans for landing astronauts on the moon and Mars.

the American government is effectively ending its space program.

A sprawling, textured field of galaxies scattered across the deep black of space. It is filled with the delicate smudges and glowing cores of galaxies of many shapes, sizes and colors, as well as the bright multi-colored points of stars. The image focuses on a collection of interacting galaxies connected by delicate streams of stars. At top center lies a large elliptical galaxy that is dense and smooth, like a polished stone glowing with golden light. Like delicate spider silk or stretched taffy, these stellar bridges link the large elliptical to the few larger galaxies beneath, evidence of past collisions. All throughout the image, thousands of galaxies gather in clusters or are spread throughout, like glittering gems strewn on a table. Some are sharp-edged and spiral, like coiled ribbons; others round and diffuse, like polished pebbles. Still others are just smudges of various colors against the black of space. The background is peppered with pinpoint stars in reds, yellows, and blues, crisp against the velvet black.

A cosmic tapestry of glowing tan and pink gas clouds with dark dust lanes. In the upper right, the Trifid Nebula resembles a small flower in space. Its soft, pinkish gas petals are surrounded by blue gas, and streaked with dark, finger-like veins of dust that divide it into three parts. It radiates a gentle, misty glow, diffuse and soft like the warmth of breath on a cold hand. To the lower left, the much larger Lagoon Nebula stretches wide like a churning sea of magenta gas, with bright blue, knotted clumps sprinkled throughout where new stars are born. Both nebulae are embedded in a soft tan backdrop of gas that is brighter on the left than on the right, etched with dark tendrils of dust and sprinkled with the pinpricks of millions of stars.

To the lower left is a region filled with the hundreds of golden glittering gems of a distant galaxy cluster. In the foreground, below and right of center, two blue spiral galaxies look like eyes beneath the entangled mass of a triple galaxy merger in the upper right. A few bright blue points of foreground stars pierce the glittering tapestry.

Congratulations!!

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Excited to be giving a talk at this!!
