He/him. Science and sarcasm, in a finely tuned package. @STFC_Matters Ernest Rutherford Fellow @PhysAstroEd - Working on LOFAR// WEAVE// JWST. Views my own

@TrentDupuy Never cross the streams

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@jps_astro Sounds like a fairly titanic task

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@jgeach Or...

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@annalisavarri @UKRI_News Disappointing and frustrating on so many levels

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@aaysaxena With >1700 proposals to be clear

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@aaysaxena Yeah anecdotal evidence, from my earliest to last proposal number from this cycle alone, seems to line up

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@jwuphysics I don’t think it is the default in practice (by citation ANNz must be up there), there’s just a few prominent and well done examples. (@jgeach included). I could point to widespread kNN and GP examples outside my own

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@emilydoesastro Yes please, if any one has a spare. I think it’s time I joined.

We are is pleased to announce the first preliminary release of The Dawn JWST Archive (DJA, pronounced "deejay").

This initiative will provide fully-reduced products of public JWST datasets that are validated and ready for science.

@jgeach Yay! Now everyone gets to write science cases without latex math functionality!

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

I spy…

[UK SKA Regional Centre (UKSRC) @UK_SKARC]

Great discussions with digital research professionals, astronomy researchers and industry to better understand scientific workflows and future computational requirements for #ska data!

@Jurgenvilla Hi Jorge, so it’s the MAPPINGS III library of models. And i just wrote my own code to convolve the nufnu SEDs they provide with the JWST filter curves and do chi2 etc.

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

This! Although I hope people do *not* forget radio surveys...😅

@dyogen Goes in the Keurig coffee pod machine 🤷‍♂️

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

Look Boston, it’s been like 250 years…you don’t have to keep ruining tea!

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@scorfano Yep. And they’ve published so many other things with less relevance, credibility and importance to the astro community, but 🤷‍♂️

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

Since @arxiv made the baffling decision to reject all of the @ESO 4MOST Community Survey Messenger articles, I can't share our exciting plans through our usual community tool.
Thankfully, you can still read all about ORCHIDSS at The Messenger itself here: https://t.co/r3UvgQAQKR

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

Back in Leiden for the first time in almost four years. Fair to say the city’s still got it

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@AstroRadioLeah @UK_SKARC Long time a comin'

[Ken Duncan @dunkenj]

@SabineBellstedt @_jessthorne @aaronrobotham @astrowelshluke Fantastic work!
