@ATHannington That blue notebook is stunning!

Ugh. I think I'm done with time series analysis. It's just one thing after another.

Outreach with @AMBroomhall today was super fun and I am ridiculously proud of my adorable little Sun 😅 #sciart

[Anne-Marie Broomhall @AMBroomhall]

Today @SolarTish and i went to whitnash library where the amazing kids made these fabulous suns and stars @warkslibraries @warwickengages #spacechase

(Also this was a reply to my email. Which I had signed 'Tishtrya'. Which I sent from my email address. Which also has my full name. It's not that hard, people! 😂)

[Tishtrya Mehta @SolarTish]

Having an unusual and ethnic name, I'm quite used to people misspelling and mispronouncing it. This recent attempt may be my all time favourite: #SayMyName

[Tishtrya Mehta @SolarTish]

So we received some new outreach goodies today... 🙌🏽

It's #WorldEmojiDay - i thought we'd play a little game...scientists share 3 emojis to describe your research topic, everyone else share your 3 emojis to describe your favourite science topics!
I'll start...

@RyanJFrench1 @mssl_solar @MSSL_Planetary @msslastro @MSSLSpacePlasma I always thought @MSSL_Planetary were particularly good finders... of exoplanets!

If this isn't motivation to graduate, I don't know what is.

Here’s the video of me getting my PhD from UO and my poor adviser having to rangle me into the hood. She said I had to walk and wear robes, she just didn’t specify they couldn’t be over a T.rex costume. #phdchat #ScienceTwitter

I love doing outreach with kids because it gives me gems like this-

Me: ...So the sun can shine light in almost every color!
8 y/o (very seriously): What about the colour of diarrhoea? #NewThesisChapter? #scicomm #outreach #phdlife

@WhisperinJay @NatSolarObs Fab! @AMBroomhall, we should try this at one of our next outreach events?!

[Tishtrya Mehta @SolarTish]

@madforsharks I relate to this dog on a deeply spiritual level.

[Tishtrya Mehta @SolarTish]

Reminds me of the time I googled 'Physics DOG', to find the 'Derivative Of Gaussian' motherwavelet. The results were as you'd expect. 🐶

[Madeline Cashion 🦈 @madforsharks]

Reminder to be case specific when googling 'eDNA'

[Tishtrya Mehta @SolarTish]

@jen_gupta Literally my favourite book of the last five years.. the characterisation and world building is incredible.

[Tishtrya Mehta @SolarTish]

@Brianatdolittle This is so beautiful! The translucency and texture of the glass lends itself so well to space art- definitely going to have to have a go at making this some day! ☀️

dr: we had to remove your colon

[Tishtrya Mehta @SolarTish]

@Divya_M_P @RyanJFrench1 @RyanJFrench1's defs seeing the answer to life, the universe, and everything in it in that bottle 👀
