i’m excited to announce that i am hiring!
i am looking for a postdoc in computational astrophysics that’s excited about massive stars, stellar transients, and multi-messenger astronomy to join my group at @StewardAstro.
The Giant Magellan Telescope is an engineering marvel, in large part due to to the precision and size of its mirrors--fabricated at Steward Observatory's Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab.

led by Ramya Anche, this work in PASP shows the unique capabilities of the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's Coronagraph modes to measure polarized light from debris disks around other stars
In a recent open-access article published in @PASPJournal the high-contrast polarimetric measurements of debris disks with the @NASARoman coronagraph have been simulated. Peak disk polarization recovery upwards of 89% have been achieved. https://t.co/9FY4ZX95OP. -JGM
Get to know the story behind "Bennu 3-D." Authors include the Director of the NASA OSIRIS-REx Mission, Dante Lauretta, from the University of Arizona and astrophysicist Brian May @brianmaycom of the London Stereoscopic Company. https://t.co/2MxhgtmC0C
@MeCookieMonster That wasn’t a cookie, Cookie Monster, that was Jupiter’s moon Europa! It does have an icy surface, plus it has a surprise inside: a saltwater ocean. https://t.co/QDzre1C59A
The pub quiz asked which heavenly body orbited the sun at 1au and I said the Moon and they said no the answer is the Earth and I said that is literally the only thing in the universe that is not a heavenly body and they did not give me the point and yes I am still sore about it.
@drskyskull Or other references just arent good enough, I periodically send students to your awesome post about learning from ducks: https://t.co/0TSo5GiTbx
University of Arizona Regents Professors Marcia and George Rieke and UArizona alumna Jane Rigby have been recognized with NASA Distinguished Public Service Medals for their accomplishments in astronomy and key contributions to the @NASAWebb. https://t.co/AD9IADpyGQ
I am so excited to share the image I created as part of the press release for the discoveries in Fomalhaut's stellar system including asteroid belts and gaps that suggest unseen planets. Credit: Adam Block/Andras Gaspar/Steward Observatory/University of Arizona
i’m excited to announce that i have accepted a tenure- track assistant professor + assistant astronomer position with @uarizona + @azstewobs starting ~ Fall 2024!
i’m lucky enough to share this moment today with my good friends.
i’m coming home. 🌵🏜️✨
The @UArizona facilities atop the Santa Catalina Mountains are truly extraordinary. They bring us amazing scientific work, and, as in this timelapse from @Catalina_Sky, often beautiful views of the wonders of our world (and Universe).

Welcome to Lowell Observatory, where the stars shine just a bit brighter for those who dare to wonder. This inspired palace of curiosity and discovery is missing only one thing: telescopes for lefties.

It turns out that really often the new technologies we create to solve hard problems in exploratory science end up being useful for hard problems in other parts of life. #BasicResearch
