Passed my PhD viva and got my first COVID vaccine... it’s been a big week! 🌟

[Meghan Hughes @MegEm_]

A very nice thread for anyone suffering with pre-viva nerves!

[Dr. Melissa Vasi FRSA @MelissaVasi]

Anyone who has had a POSITIVE experience of their PhD defense? I've only heard about demon-possessed examiners and impossible inhumane questions. Does it also happen that everything runs smoothly?

@SophiLilleengen Where are you with your non-cloudy skies!? Not much to see in Manchester right now!

[Meghan Hughes @MegEm_]

@JasnEastwd Haha got to finish this PhD first 😂 are you training in Manchester??

[Meghan Hughes @MegEm_]

@JasnEastwd Yay! 7 months until I do the same 😁

While the data quality can be important, the number of GCs is the dominant factor in terms of the accuracy and precision of the measurement of the DM mass. This work shows promising results for these models to be used in extragalactic systems with a sample of more than 150 GCs 2/

It's paper day! In this paper (https://t.co/O7JXeeLpFk) we aim to test how well the Jeans-Anisotropic-MGE models constrain the mass and radial distribution of dark matter halos, when using GCs as the tracer population. We do this using the E-MOSAICS suite of MW-mass galaxies 1/

Check out this cool paper! (I may be slightly biased of course)

[Danny Horta @DarringtonHorta]

Paper day! Check out our paper on "Linking globular cluster formation at low and high redshift through the age-metallicity relation in E-MOSAICS" (https://t.co/39zFKD8xbH) /1

@justthore @SJMolyneux you made a good move

[Meghan Hughes @MegEm_]

@tutkukolcu Glad to have you with us at the ARI 🎉

@okvoyce @AcademicChatter Never

[Meghan Hughes @MegEm_]

@joaquin_g_dlc Yesss! I’m so excired to read the final version 😄

[Danny Horta @DarringtonHorta]

In conclusion: We find N-rich stars (when accounting for the selection function of APOGEE) contribute a much higher fraction to the stellar halo in the inner Galaxy when compared to the outer regions, which we speculate may be linked to an early merger history of the Galaxy. /8

[Danny Horta @DarringtonHorta]

It's PAPER day! You can now find our paper entitled "Evidence from APOGEE for the presence of a major building block of the halo buried in the inner Galaxy" on the arXiv https://t.co/FC54JRlDcv. 1/10

I want to reach out and ask if anyone would be willing to sort of “mentor” me on how to get an internship at NASA for next summer. I would love to DM, email, or do some Zoom or WebEx calls! Please share this tweet! Thanks again! ✨❤���

[Meghan Hughes @MegEm_]

@LizArundalex @paigeroylance_ I have a very hazy memory of this 😂🙈

[Meghan Hughes @MegEm_]

@okvoyce @CA_AstroComm Always grateful to have you as a friend 🥰

[Meghan Hughes @MegEm_]

@paigeroylance_ I don’t even bother wasting the dry shampoo....
