@NarsiAnugu Congratulations! Great to see new instruments coming online at CHARA!

My thesis describes how I designed, built and tested FOURIER, the first generation science beam combiner for the @MRObservatory.

My thesis is available open access here: https://t.co/dm2GdRa7cp

This is amazing news, thank you to the @RoyalAstroSoc and the Patricia Tomkins Foundation for this award!

And of course to the amazing optical interferometry group in Cambridge, who this wouldn't have been possible without.

The winner of the 2022 Patricia Tomkins Thesis Prize is Dr Daniel Mortimer for the thesis entitled 'Designing a beam combiner for faint limiting magnitudes in optical interferometry'.

The #JWST has detected carbon dioxide in a planetary atmosphere beyond our solar system. International scientists & researchers involved include our very own @warwickuni @WarwickAstro PhD student @evi_ahrer & Prof @peterwheatley. #Physics #Nasa ➡️https://t.co/LAHPPHMtfb

I'm running with @evi_ahrer whose running for Breast Cancer Now. Here's the link to her fundraising page!

I'm running the #GreatNorthRun for charity next month, my first half marathon! If you can/want to donate any amount that would be fantastic! Link below 🔽

That's why I'm supporting @TeachFirst in their goal of getting great teachers into the schools that need them the most.

@gemmadomenech Thank you! I love the slogan 😅

[Daniel Mortimer @Danastronomy]

Very proud to work in the amazing team of volunteers that make the IAYC possible every year!

[Daniel Mortimer @Danastronomy]

It was great to be back in college to receive my PhD. Thank you @StEdmundsCam for a fantastic day!

[Catherine Arnold @HMAArnold]

Congratulations to all @StEdmundsCam who graduated today!

Good to welcome you back and hear of the impressive things you are now doing across the world.

Some amazing views around the @CHARAArray!

[Daniel Mortimer @Danastronomy]

Such a fun week! Thank you @evi_ahrer for your amazing photography skills here!

Great composition with the physics tower in the background.

[Sharpest Eyes 2022 @2022Sharpest]

Yet another big thank you to everyone that attended #sharpesteyes2022 🔭💫 Here is our fabulous conference photo with all the in-person delegates as well as LOC (thank goodness for the sunshine!) Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of conference photos coming your way soon...👀

[Daniel Mortimer @Danastronomy]

A lot of it was thanks to the motivation from @astrokraus to get this right. Of course, it still wouldn’t have happened without the LOC, the AV technicians, and the participants who were all super supportive in making this work!

[Daniel Mortimer @Danastronomy]

I’m so happy to hear that the hybrid format of #SharpestEyes2022 described as smooth! Our goal from the start was to make it as seamless as possible, so we could have this hybrid format without interrupting the flow of the conference.

[Leo Burtscher @LeoBurtscher]

Although I was only able to participate one day, I was impressed by the very smooth hybrid format of the #SharpestEyes2022 conference. I think this was the first hybrid conference that worked for me (as a remote participant). How did they do it? 1/

[Daniel Mortimer @Danastronomy]

A bonus of the hybrid setup was that it made capturing the talks and discussions super easy by simply recording the Zoom meeting. We’ll soon make these available to the community so that the knowledge shared at the conference can be “open access” for years to come!
