Since not everyone could come hear *SONIFIED LIGHTCURVES* at @emsque and my poster this Monday, here’s a little thread of our sonified astro light curve science! #AAS233

[Locke Patton @Astro_Locke]

Ever wonder what a sonnified light curve sounds like? Can you hear a supernova plateau? The period of rr lyrae or eclipsing binaries? Can we classify objects with only sound? (Hint: why, yes.)

Come hear at poster number 147.12! 🎆✨I’ll be presenting starting 9am today #AAS233

What happens after a ship sinks? 🚢

@EVNautilus dived deep below the surface of the South Pacific Ocean to explore what happens after a ship sinks. Over time, wrecks become living ecosystems, where microbes, coral, and fish turn rusting steel into a reef teeming with life.

During the NA173 expedition, we're conducting non-invasive archaeological surveys of historically significant #shipwrecks in the #IronBottomSound. Learn the differences between #battleships, #cruisers, and #destroyers in this #blog: https://t.co/k0sgFijbcq

@CharliSakari Thanks Charli!

Who knows how this works, but if you have any pull in this universe, I’d seriously appreciate some help. My family farm is threatened by a fire with winds pushing towards my steadfast papa who is refusing to evacuate to save his life’s work, and I’d love a miracle.

@astrojthe3 Thanks John! Just pulling all the strings I can :) hope you’re doing well

Looking back at myself as a 1st-gen 17yo writing apps, I realize how little (so little!) I knew about the college decision, physics, academia, and possible trajectories. That so many profs grew up in highly-educated households tracks w my experience, & it surely shapes our fields

I recently told lab members to ask me any question they wanted and many of their questions were about money. How much do assistant professors make? Difference between soft and hard money positions? etc. 1/5

I’ve seen others mention this but just saying again: students (grad and undergrad) can get a year of Headspace for $10. It’s amazing. The sleepcasts are great. #AcademicTwitter #phdlife

After a lot of work, we have finished the implementation of PEP 657 🚀🎉. In Python 3.11🐍, tracebacks will annotate where exactly the error is happening in your code 🤯. No more confusion having to guess what part of the expression is wrong. Learn more at https://t.co/bCbXYp5rN7

The very first Space @Olympics!!! For crew cohesion, we put together a friendly competition between the #Soyuz team and the #CrewDragon team. With sports specific to space, mind you 😀 https://t.co/u5hSoGPWdS #MissionAlpha

After a year of plotting bad news, it's nice to plot some good news.

I reviewed 100+ conference abstracts over the weekend.
