Having fun at the @ARC_ASTRO3D Trivia Night at the ASTRO3D retreat… see the name of our table, and I PROMISE it was not my idea, but I strongly supported it as soon as it was mentioned by @ThemiyaN ! cc @astro_bec @rmcdermid

The Australian government's response to climate change so far is hugely inadequate. Sign this petition to let them know that stronger action is needed at COP26! https://t.co/njt2KhzrEB

Canberra is under a blanket of fog this morning! #cbr #fog #winter

[Dr. Rebecca Davies, PhD @astro_bec]

@FiPanther @Dilyar_B @nataliaeire maybe, although I feel like I need a bit of a rest after a week of observing!

[Dr. Rebecca Davies, PhD @astro_bec]

@Dilyar_B @SAMI_survey hahaha I think that should be 1.0, 3am mistake :P

[Dr. Rebecca Davies, PhD @astro_bec]

It's all systems go and we are finally collecting our first external galaxy photons for this @SAMI_survey observing run! :)

[Dr. Rebecca Davies, PhD @astro_bec]

Plugging a plate in preparation for the first night of our @SAMI_survey observing run.

The sky at @SidingSpring is putting on a lovely display for us tonight :)

[Dr. Rebecca Davies, PhD @astro_bec]

Great view of fog in the valley at @SidingSpring :) Our @SAMI_survey observing run starts tomorrow night.
