Last month I had the wonderful experience of attending the HERA24 early career researchers in astronomy workshop at the @academyofathens. Athens was on my bucket list and the city did not disappoint! Definitely the fanciest location for a talk 💫

[Zoe Le Conte @AstroLeConte]

Wonderful time celebrating incredible achievements in astronomy and geophysics at the @RoyalAstroSoc awards dinner @hullrasnam2024. Congratulations to Leah for winning the Fowler Award and giving a beautiful speech 💫📡 #NAM2024 #RAS

[Zoe Le Conte @AstroLeConte]

Day 2 of @hullrasnam2024 started off with a great ECR careers panel with @SaturnSheila from the @RAS_Journals, followed by Elizaveta’s talk on galactic morphologies in the #MilkyWay session #nam24

[Ciera Sargent @AstroSargent]

My first NAM talk! #NAM2024

[Zoe Le Conte @AstroLeConte]

@tuts_astro Amazing! Congratulations 🥂

[Zoe Le Conte @AstroLeConte]

Aurora from Durham! Just beautiful

Listen to @DurhamPhysics PhD #astronomy researcher @AstroLeConte talking to @BBCr4today about an international research project she led which could change our understanding of #galaxy evolution in the early #Universe 👉 (at 50:01) https://t.co/2h5cZfmcWY

[Dimitri Gadotti @DimitriGadotti]

So cool to hear @AstroLeConte on @BBCRadio4 talking about our paper published today on @RAS_Journals! 😃 Star bars are all the rage! https://t.co/M17GSBHnbB with @astroferreira @conselice @astronomacamila Taehyun Kim @astrojustus @astro_francesca Lia Athanassoula and @NatAdAstra

[Zoe Le Conte @AstroLeConte]

It's paper day!

My first PhD paper is published today with MNRAS @RAS_Journals. I am so proud and grateful for the opportunities created by this research.

[Durham University @durham_uni]

.@AstroLeConte and fellow @DurhamPhysics astronomers used the James #Webb Space Telescope to look back more than ten billion years in time and saw that the #Universe’s early #galaxies developed much faster than previously thought! 👉 https://t.co/6vWPDWb7v8

[Francesca Fragkoudi @astro_francesca]

Are you an early career researcher interested in bars (galactic ones✨)? Then there's a Heraeus-EAS workshop in September 2024 just for you! Deadline to apply is 30th of April (selected applicants will have their local expenses fully covered!): https://t.co/IIuvnoyWFV

This month I was invited to join a colleague in La Palma for an observation trip. A surreal and extraordinary experience with the bonus of some clear nights to get some spectroscopic data of barred galaxies using the Isaac Newton Telescope 🪐 #INT #astronomy #observatory

@DurhamPhysics Astronomy welcome party and Halloween celebrations 👻 We are the supercomputer COSMA (plus Hamilton). I am COSMA 6 which was recently axed 🪓

[Leonardo Ferreira @astroferreira]

Our paper on the optical morphologies of galaxies up to z~6.5 through visual classifications in CEERS is now published in ApJ. The NIR/IR JWST capabilities reveal that the structure of these galaxies have a lot in common to the ones in our local universe.

[Zoe Le Conte @AstroLeConte]

Bars in disc galaxies are abundant in the local Universe but decrease with redshift. For the first time, we observed the fraction of bars in disc galaxies beyond redshift 2 using JWST and found the fraction to be 3 times greater than the HST bar fraction. https://t.co/MxkZ9dTJOX
