I attended the Interact Symposium today, it was great meeting and learning from so many science communication experts. I also got to run a workshop on sonification and talk about Audio Universe and our plans to make a sonification toolkit for educators and communicators!

Good morning!!! ☀️ My paper is finally published in MNRAS! We conduct the first JWST imaging study of polar dust and find that it correlates well with the radio jet, and potentially heated by it. Go check it out: https://t.co/aHF0tVKcGu #JWST #GATOS #MNRAS

Just published in #MNRAS: "Dust beyond the torus: revealing the mid-infrared heart of local Seyfert ESO 428-G14 with JWST/MIRI", Haidar et al @blackholephd . This is Fig. 1: please read the paper at https://t.co/cY3uikv2Bi #GATOS #JWST @OxfordJournals @RoyalAstroSoc

Listen to this black hole I sonified! 🌌🔊

[Chris Harrison @CMHarrisonAstro]

Sound on! New sonification of a black hole! Based on observations of an accretion episode in March 2018, producing energetic jets of particles and radiation. X-rays are represented as noise and visible light as a musical chord. Notice the delay between the different wavelengths!

[Dr Vicky Fawcett @astro_fawcett]

Amazing sonfication work by @Rosedshepherd 🎶
Check out this article to hear what two supermassive black holes merging sounds like! 🕳️
