@adsabs I think there may be some sort of issue with ads, searches are hanging. Apologies if this is not the right place to ask, but I couldn't find a "submit issue" button (or I missed it).

A little while ago, I did a TEDx talk on the work we are doing at @universityofga using AI to find the hidden birth of exoplanets. You can watch it here :) https://t.co/VwN68g9jjG

Nature really is as magical as you once believed.

@mukul0x @Phat_Trick910 @Apple It is not, but we are pursuing funding to make it into an open-source tool.

[Cass @astro_cass]

@Apple Could you send me the video version that appeared on the television please @Apple?

[Cass @astro_cass]

@Phat_Trick910 @Apple Jason Terry is a PhD student working in my research group at the University of Georgia. In this work, we used a machine learning model trained on synthetic telescope data of forming exoplanets. We then used it on real data, and found an exoplanet that had previously been missed.

@iYozoraSora @IFLScience It is, yes. Which is why we calculate the range for each type of star.

Happy Saturday to everyone except the MRI tech who misheard my @brandicarlile music request as Belinda Carlisle and I spent 45 minutes in a small metal tube just me, my claustrophobia, and “heaven is a place on Earth” on repeat

@roryclark3 I watched this guy when I started teaching- hope to be like him one day

@djwhiteastro 💯

From now on I will be referring to Fourier analysis as vibe check and no one can stop me

[Cass @astro_cass]

@crmnlgy Love this so much. I went to university through a foundation program and it changed my life. Forever grateful.

[Cass @astro_cass]

@FurtherMathsTut @crmnlgy Variety of reasons - postcode, family history of education, income, foster care, at risk, went to a school with historically low university uptake, etc …Teachers don’t exactly make bank and circumstances can be complicated

[Cass @astro_cass]

@theresphysics Congratulations Ken! You will be a fantastic head of institute.

[Cass @astro_cass]

@lis_matthews @CatieSlaughts Yes, I paid around 500 dollars for the last advert I put up, as it is about characters and length of time!

[Cass @astro_cass]

@hapyresearchers Let me introduce you to Uwe Happek!

[Cass @astro_cass]

Fitting that a telescope that was repeatedly delayed is having a press release that is repeatedly delayed
