Astronomer @UWMadison. Likes supermassive black holes in galaxies of all sizes. 🇪🇺🇬🇧 in 🇺🇸. Not always serious. All views my own.

Hey radio astronomy fans I’m hiring for a 3 year postdoc right now to come work with me at CSIRO in Australia on low-frequency radio astronomy. Message me to chat about it.

@JonnyPierce1 Thanks, buddy!

I have news! Because I’m terrible at keeping up with social media, I have a long overdue exciting life update: I married the wonderful Anne (not on ‘the social media formerly known as as Twitter’) on July 6!

[Yjan Gordon @YjanGordon]

@tommy_c10 Right back at you! Can’t wait to catch up with you soon!

Put on your radio glasses! The Radio Galaxy Zoo: EMU is going live! Help us link radio sources to their parent galaxies and classify them with simple descriptive tags. Get involved and give the project a try — visit: https://t.co/1QgACcQIpf

@Lawrious If the LAs are blaming their courier it’s absolutely appalling they have no mechanism in place to deal with a failure of that part of the system. There’s an emergency proxy mechanism for uk residents who are unexpectedly out of the country but no protection for overseas votes

[Yjan Gordon @YjanGordon]

As an overseas voter, I’m dependent on my postal vote which I’ve still not received 2 days before the election. Not even an apology about this from @Hullccnews. I’m in a safe seat with a great MP (@DianaJohnsonMP) but still very disappointing to not have my vote count 😔

[Yjan Gordon @YjanGordon]

@Lawrious No. In 2019 I had a proxy because I decided to do that from day 1 as I was dubious a mail ballot would arrive in time—it arrived anyway 3 weeks before that election. This time with 6 weeks notice and timely delivery of a ballot in 2019 I wasn’t concerned…

[Yjan Gordon @YjanGordon]

I have some codes for ‘the other place’, if any of my astro mutuals are looking for one, let me know.

[Yjan Gordon @YjanGordon]

Do you like Giant Radio Galaxies? If so, you'll want to read how our fantastic REU student, Soren Ramdhanie, and co discovered 63 of these cosmic behemoths this summer. Recently accepted to @AAS_ResNotes
