Update from @jgreaves6 at #nam2023 on phosphine in Venus' atmosphere (a signature of life or odd chemistry): detections confirmed in JCMT data from 2022 and May 2023. Consistent line depth so steady source (?).

Radio leakage from satellite constellations are also drowning out the quiet marvels of our radio universe, as well as our optical view of it.

📡 Radio waves from satellite constellations pose a threat to astronomical exploration. @LOFAR confirms unintended emissions. Collaboration between astronomy and industry is vital, urging @ITU to regulate this emission.

Patience. Persistence. Precision. Congratulations to our ASTRON pulsar team and the vast array of colleagues around the world. It truly takes an astronomical army.

We found evidence for ultra-low-frequency gravitational waves, with other collaborations @CSIRO_ATNF @ARC_OzGRav @NANOGRAV and CPTA independently reporting on similar results.

@lisaharveysmith All my thoughts with you. What a special lady.

[Jessica Tui Dempsey @astroTui]

This article really kicked me in the gut. It captures the problem of why we aren’t sustaining women in science leadership - women look at how their “role models” are treated and realize they’d be crazy to want that too. https://t.co/BEdTLAxglh

My BFF nearly killed the home inspector when he left my house before sale by putting our favorite haunted ventriloquist dummy (we used to prank each other with) in the attic.
Poor Jake.

I am crying with happiness and pride tonight. Privileged to winter with this incredible human at South Pole and how she will be the first woman to circle the moon. Go get ‘em, Christina. Thank you, sis.

Meet the first member of our #Artemis II Moon crew: mission specialist @Astro_Christina!

Christina Koch visited the @Space_Station in 2019, where she took part in the first all-woman spacewalk. She began her career as an electrical engineer at @NASAGoddard.

@Astro_Christina @Space_Station @Astro_Jessica @AstroAnnimal Please keep leading the way, polie-to-space sister. From the first women-only ice cave to the moon, I have your back.

[Jessica Tui Dempsey @astroTui]

I loved the insightful conversations sparked with @SKAO peeps following this talk. It is clear SKA is ready to tackle the challenges needed to create a truly inclusive, diverse and ethical world-leading Observatory. Let’s keep up the conversation.

[Jessica Tui Dempsey @astroTui]

Had a wonderful time hosted by @DIASDunsink talking about the great future for us all in radio astronomy in the next decade. Also, great Guinness.

[Jessica Tui Dempsey @astroTui]

It has taken centuries. Finally, there are ladies in the Long Room, Trinity. And what ladies. Mary, Ava, Rosalind, Augusta, guard the way for us please.

Uhh… help? Did I just snap a pic of a duck flash-frozen upside down in a canal or do I need glasses? #duckpics #deadduckproblems

Awesome artists (https://t.co/JVcsfEXgAo) design one of a kind awards for our @ASTRON_NL best annual outreach, unsung heroes and daily image achievements. Lookit the little spotlight! I work with such amazing humans.

We are extremely honoured that our #LOFAR radio telescope is featured on one of the new curtains for palace Huis ten Bosch. The embroidered curtains, designed by Liesbeth Stinissen, are currently on display at the @TextielMuseum in Tilburg.

My loves, I think we might be at the “We marveled at our own ingenuity” inflection point on the path to AI apocalypse. #whatisthematrix
