All things cosmology and AI @Cambridge_Uni. If I'm not at work I'm probably at rehearsal 🎻

@juliangough @GravityGrinch Most likely a selection effect rather than physics: we probably missed some faint/high redshift lenses during the visual inspection, since these are the hardest to spot. Also, some of the lower-scoring (faint) candidates I excluded from the comparison are potentially true lenses.

@GravityGrinch Coming from Oxford as I do, perhaps the mystique will be slightly less apparent ;) I'll be joining Will Handley's group at the IoA!

I'm elated to share that in October I'll be moving to Cambridge for another 4 years of postdoc! There isn't room in a tweet to describe how much this means to me; suffice to say, I'm extremely happy.

[Natalie Hogg @astronat]

@GravityGrinch Thanks Jenny! The original Cambridge ;)

[Natalie Hogg @astronat]

@JSMakechemu Thanks Jason! Actually, looking at the programme, NAM 2025 looks pretty tempting!

I often find myself listening to Schubert's "Winterreise" when I'm feeling a bit low. I guess it's because the thought that there's some poor bastard out there who feels even lower offers some degree of comfort.

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill.

Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me):

Marie Curie did not have to fit 9 deliverabkes, 17 milestones and 44 tasks in a 24 months gantt chart as we, who got the grant in her name, have to do

Taking a moment to enjoy the fact that the new PM was an exhibitioner at Junior Guildhall, who played loads of instruments growing up, who says his favourite music is Beethoven sonatas.

The Greens now have as many seats as Reform. Will they get anywhere near as much press coverage?

[London Philharmonic Orchestra @LPOrchestra]

We had a blast performing Haydn's Creation with the @LPChoir back in March and can think of no better way to round off a sunny Saturday than with a snippet from the glorious 'Awake the harp' chorus 🌞

Head over to @MarqueeArtsTV to watch the whole performance!

WATCH: 🗳️🔴 @Keir_Starmer confirms to me Labour will extend voting rights to 16-17 year olds if elected

"If you can work, if you can pay tax, if you can serve in your armed forces, then you ought to be able to vote."

@cosmic_mar More on the astro than cosmo side, but there's ShOpt.jl by Eddie Berman and Jacqueline McCleary for JWST PSF characterisation: https://t.co/2X0F9nBhx2
