Postdoc Job Alert! aas.org/jobregister/...

I'm searching for a postdoc to start in ~Aug 25 in observational star & early planet formation at U. of Rochester, USA. Postdoc will have access to a variety of science-ready radio data from the PRODIGE survey. noema-prodige.github.io

ALMA Data Reduction Party: Polarization

There are still spaces open for the ALMA Data Reduction Party on Polarization at the NRAO in Virginia! Financial support is available for attendees from Canada and the US.

And the application deadline has been extended to December 20!

Conference announcement!!!

Pretty excited to be organising a meeting (with @seguracox.bsky.social and others) about multiplicity in young stars. The website is live: indico.nbi.ku.dk/event/2121/o...

And it will pop up on CADC in the coming days.

Keep an eye out! 🔭✨

Astronomers: Do you want a postdoc fellowship working on broad topics related to SETI? Fancy joining us in Oxford? Breakthrough Listen fellowships now advertised here: tinyurl.com/BLFellows24 (I'm very keen to work with anyone interested in ML/anomaly detection, so ping me if you have questions) 🛰️🔭

They're working on a scale model of the Enterprise too! And have plans for a TNG captain's chair!

Thanks! I'm low on time to build a tricorder, but if you visit Sandusky, OH you can visit the captain's chair too! It's at Federation Headquarters. www.trekfederation.com They sell stuff, and proceeds go to charity. The true Star Trek way!

Also, does my phone count as my tricorder? Or just a PADD?

Alas, no. But apparently one of the Lord of the Rings cast showed up to the opening reception and I missed him!

And Andrew's poster skills were on point! Great work and a massive success! #AAS243

Be sure to stop by poster 411.01 this morning from 9-10am to hear my awesome REU summer student, Andrew Milne (U. of Iowa), talk about "Modeling Infall and Rotation of 10 Class 0/I Protostars to Measure Mass and Disk Radii" !! #AAS243

I got it at eshakti.com You can get standard sizes or for a small fee they'll make dresses/tops to your measurements and even add pockets and side zips!

Exactly!

#AAS243 Beam me up!

On route to NOLA for #AAS243. Wearing a mask to try to help keep our community safe from icky post holiday airplane germs. Who’s with me?

So I heard Jonathan Frakes (Cmdr. Riker) might be hanging around the convention center at the FanExpo that's concurrent with AAS... I did pack this dress...

Do beds count as trafficked areas? I think of them more as parking spots.

Somehow I just landed at perpetual confusion about the academic system with a side of full confidence about science, ultimately leading to a constant sense of exasperation.

Trying to just accept the confusion at this point.

Just when I had some free time over the holidays for guilt-free scrolling for niche drama threads... sigh.

Collectible Barbies are always located near the other Barbies... because for some people they're all collectable. And sometimes these type of Barbies might feature something like Mary Poppins that kids could be into.

Bright light triggered migraines here too! Sigh.

I can only wear glasses. Absolutely awful astigmatism streaks because of how bright those lights are. Have to drive by focusing on the lines on the road sometimes (in rural areas), and just avoid city driving as much as possible at night (don't even have a car right now).

Ah, grading *yourself*

Grading?

Similarly, Oscar the Grouch lived in a garbage can. Not a garbage can't.

Hi everyone, I'm hiring a postdoc to work on planetary thermal evolution modeling with me at @ucsc. Topics will likely include sub-Neptunes, gas giants, and brown dwarfs.
Please apply! Deadline is Jan 22nd.

It can't be any worse than all the rest of the digital noise happening every 3 minutes. Go for it.

In a recent collaboration zoom meeting, something similar happened and then we all started flailing and trying random gestures while giggling for at least 2 minutes. The most senior scientists were the ones most into it (so it's a great collaboration)!
