We were so proud to celebrate graduate student Jillian Rastinejad (@jillian_rast) at her official induction as a @NorthwesternU Presidential Fellow. Her research on origins of r-process clearly resonates across disciplines, and we are thankful to witness it! 📸: B. Robinson
We are looking to grow our group by two postdocs next year! If interested in time-domain and/or multi-messenger astronomy, please see our ad for more! Deadline Dec 20: https://t.co/N6bbuquQan 🔭
I realized I never updated twitter but at the beginning of September I started as a Postdoc @Cornell working with Prof. Anna Ho on (surprise surprise) the radio follow up of transients!
🚨Paper Alert🚨
Do you like heavy elements, kilonovae, GRBs or compact object mergers?
Check out this 🧵 on the freshly-submitted "Uniform Modeling of Observed Kilonovae: Implications for Diversity and the Progenitors of
Merger-Driven Long Gamma-Ray Bursts" led by @jillian_rast
If there's a transients conference in the Midwest, you bet that @NUCIERA is going to show up bigtime! Thanks for the great conference @PurduePhysAstro! #risetime#besttime
Congratulations to Dr. Tyler Heintz, who successfully defended his PhD dissertation today at @BU_Tweets. Tyler has done fantastic work characterizing the reliability of using white dwarf stars as age indicators!
Congratulations to Prof. Wen-fai Fong of @FongGroup and @NUCIERA for being awarded Steward Observatory's 2024 Marc Aaronson Prize! We look forward to hosting you in the Fall for our colloquium and public evening lecture series. Read more: https://t.co/gGI29o7ou8
🚨Paper Alert!🚨
Dr. @AstroGenevieve has submitted her X-ray to radio afterglow analysis of the recent short GRB 231117A. The X-ray and radio observations at < 1 days reveal behavior inconsistent with the standard afterglow model.

At the end of the month, Overleaf won't allow adding co-authors via link sharing any longer without a paid account. It will in fact also roll back on current projects
Congratulations to Dr. Genevieve Schroeder (@AstroGenevieve) on her successful defense today! She showed the sheer power of radio observations for GRBs, and her novel observing strategies are responsible for the recent increased detection rate of short GRBs. Next stop: New York!
