This is a tribute to my old cat Slinky, who was my closest companion for ~16 years of my life, until he died suddenly and unexpectedly a few years ago. This is the closest thing to closure I could get, and I hope that it's a fitting tribute.

How it felt inviting my parents to my PhD graduation:

Have to give a presentation with a slide limit, so here's a hypothetical:

Say you make a slide, then use animations to gradually replace everything on that slide - does it still count as one slide?

This is the "Ship of Theseus" of the modern world.

@heatherphoenixx @jps_astro Also see if you can pitch "Metal Notices of the Royal Ästronomical Society" as the new name 🤘

[Tom Cornish @ThomasCornish5]

@heatherphoenixx @jps_astro You need to pull some strings at OUP and get them to make this the official logo

@astro_calhau I think you might be missing the part where it's doused in cheese

[Tom Cornish @ThomasCornish5]

"I'll CC you" what the hell are you on about? Cauliflower cheese? No? Then I've lost interest, sorry

@jps_astro It's not too late for me to include this figure in my thesis... 🤔

Who's that casting their shadow across the cosmos, I wonder? 🤔

[Lancaster Physics @LancUniPhysics]

Ever wondered what it's like inside our LUniverse Planetarium?

Aren't these photos amazing?! 🤩🌟

[Tom Cornish @ThomasCornish5]

@sundellviz @heatherphoenixx I love it, thank you for sharing! 😁

[Heather @heatherphoenixx]

It's the end of @NAM2023_Cardiff and the end of my final ever Astro conference! So much fascinating science and lots of interesting people 🌌🔭 great to see so many @LancUniPhysics @LUniverse__ people with talks and posters and running sessions @Iz_garland!🌹🌹🌹

[Tom Cornish @ThomasCornish5]

Had an incredible time at #NAM2023 (even despite managing to injure myself on day 1)! It was an absolute pleasure to present my work, and to witness some of the incredible science that has been going on in the world of astronomy. 🌌
