My dad worked on sitcoms, now I work with stars too. In both cases, sometimes they explode. Astrophysicist, karateka, educator, lover-of-learning. (he/him/his)
A couple weeks ago I defended my PhD and in preparing for the move and spending time with all the important people and trying to wrap things up, I forgot to tell the world I passed! I’m a star doctor!
Working with some truly amazing masters students at the (funded!) astrophysics masters program at CUNY right now, and those who want to go on to do a PhD are exactly the kind of students the GRFP should be *prioritizing*!
@tukohbin @nblqbl@CburgesCliff Idk about CfA but Flatiron CCA’s “pre-doctoral” position that was announced recently is a visiting graduate student fellowship, and takes students who are already enrolled in a PhD program elsewhere, like the KITP’s graduate fellows program
Applications are open (deadline: Feb 28) for this year's @FlatironCCA summer school! This time the topic is fluid hydrodynamics and you can find more details (and the application) here: https://t.co/Mt1VAZauHk
And a deep and neverending gratitude to those loved ones, and to all the mentors, friends, colleagues, staff, workers, and supporters for making it all possible and worthwhile!

If anyone has advice on making the long distance feel a little shorter and/or reassurance that things work out, it would be dearly appreciated right now! Or even any useful advice for a Californian moving to Manhattan to embark on a first postdoc…
Congratulations to all Gauchos earning their graduate degrees from UC Santa Barbara today! 🎓 #UCSB2022
Special shout-out to @UCSBPhysics astrophysicist @aurimontem, joined here by scientific advisor and KITP Director Lars Bildsten.
My group at Caltech is again organizing a cost-free online summer undergrad astronomy program designed to teach students basic tools for conducting astro research!🌟🪐 Sign up here: https://t.co/Aa9b45G1t5
Not a semester goes by that I don’t suffer massive psychological damage from the hoops I jump through due to having this fellowship — you’d think getting a prestigious award would make things easier :)
