My feed has become a cesspit - like a really bad Reddit I can’t curate. I am going on hiatus somewhere blue. I will probably not actively return unless fundamental changes occur here. Sad to leave but this place is so much worse than when I joined in 2009.

Alas, X has lost its lustre for me. I was here to interact socially and professionally with colleagues, with a bit of sci comm (not to mention staying on top of Astro gossip). Sadly, none of these are happening these days.

Very lucky to be attending Star-Planet Interaction and Aeronomy workshop in Saint Malo, France. Beautiful city

[Joe Callingham @AstroJoeC]

Having fun at the Past, Present, Future conference, celebrating 75 years of @ASTRON_NL. Lots of amazing talks about the early and risky days of @LOFAR and WSRT.

Great to have Shari Breen from @SKAO presenting the colloquium at @ASTRON_NL/@jivevlbi on all the amazing progress of in building and early operations of the SKA!

@jr_pritchard Good luck :)

What a fun @ASTRON_NL/@jivevlbi astrofest!

[Joe Callingham @AstroJoeC]

Great to have this paper out there!

🌌 Radio signals from stars reveal magnetic storms & space weather on exoplanets! 🌠 These signals help us study solar bursts, auroras, and magnetic star-planet interactions.
@AstroJoeC is 1st author of this paper, explaining more about it.

It is Astrofest for @ASTRON_NL /@jivevlbi today! We get together once-a-year and discuss about what motivates us (whether that is a particular science problem or our hobbies).

[Joe Callingham @AstroJoeC]

Excited to announce the upcoming conference: “Beyond Earth: Lunar and Space Radio Missions”. The conference is set to take place May 12-15, 2025, at @ASTRON_NL, and is sponsored by @brkthroughprize. Save the date!

[Joe Callingham @AstroJoeC]

Commiserations to my American colleagues. Note that we are hiring a Bell Burnell Fellow at @ASTRON_NL. Please reach out if you have any questions! https://t.co/udhNBEatRo

@MatBethermin @NienkeMarel I really enjoyed this when I gave a reference for my first student. Top 1% by definition! (But also bottom 1% haha)

[Joe Callingham @AstroJoeC]

Now off to Dublin to participate in a viva @DIAS_Dublin! @QUBelfast @ArmaghSpace

@fringetracker “I have received substandard photons from this star and demand better” The Ea-nāṣir line of reasoning

[Joe Callingham @AstroJoeC]

@fringetracker But then how will we ever be able to read what the stars are telling us if we don’t have Rosetta stones?!

[Joe Callingham @AstroJoeC]

Nice of the Max Planck Institute for Kernphysik to put my name up on the office for my visit!
