Grad student-ing outside in Milwaukee on an ominous, stormy summer afternoon. Bold move, but you can't argue with the view.

"It’s like listening to somebody whisper a word in a busy cafe, it can be difficult to make out the word or even to be sure that the person whispered at all. It will take some time to reach a conclusion about this candidate." -Patrick Brady

@UWM ...and one more. Thanks to @swiggumj for the nice photos!

[UWM CGCA @UWMCGCA]

We're very proud of all the undergraduates working with us in the CGCA and presenting their work at the @UWM research symposium today. Congratulations on a job well done!

This week’s seminar is starting now! “Improving the Chances of GW Detection from Core-Collapse Supernova with a Single Interferometer” with Dr. Marco Cavaglia (Missouri University of Science and Technology).

[UWM CGCA @UWMCGCA]

LOTS of opportunities to hear from @UWM CGCA folks about exciting new astrophysics this weekend:

4/6, 6:30 @TheOrientalMKE: "Spacetime Warp: Gravitational Waves the Size of Galaxies" @swiggumj

4/7, 1:00 @Anodynecoffee: "Update from New Horizons: Beyond Pluto" @CoffeeShopASTR

[LIGO @LIGO]

There's a new @LIGO spokesperson Patrick Brady, @UWM Physics professor and current Director of @UWMCGCA, was elected this week by @LIGO . Read more about Patrick at https://t.co/BToTV8wTEn and check out his #GravitationalWaves lecture on @PBS https://t.co/wU4k1TnREf

Here we go...

#O3ishere

[LIGO @LIGO]

Apr 1 the hunt for #gravitationalwaves resumes with even more sensitive detectors! O3, the 3rd @LIGO and @ego_virgo observing run, promises more merging #blackholes and #neutronstars - and maybe some exciting new discoveries too. Read more at https://t.co/yTB1XncSDZ #O3ishere

[Dr Renée Spiewak @respiewak]

@caffeinatedkrys Yes! Especially for #firstGen academics. My undergrad Uni, @UWMCGCA, made a pretty big deal of my first first-author paper, and it made me feel like I belonged and did something awesome.

Check out this free and informative event on Sunday!

[Coffeeshop Astro @CoffeeShopASTR]

This Sunday, 1 pm @Anodynecoffee, guest speaker Dr. Vincent Smith (@BristolUni) will discuss the Higgs Boson and why it's needed to complete the Standard Model for Particle Physics, also evidence for Higgs' existence with @CERN, #LHC.

RSVP now!
