🚨 New gravitational-wave results from @LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (GWTC-4) are out! So many exciting insights + gorgeous plots 🔥✨ Huge kudos to LVK for making data openly accessible 🙌

I made a (biased!) astro summary of key highlights 👉 https://t.co/22gYNlSz6z

Voorpagina @nrc: mijn interview met @FloorAstro. Haar ‘paleontologie van zwaartekrachtgolven’ onthult de geschiedenis van het heelal. Ze staat voor #DEI, ook nu op @UCSanDiego. Een ‘citizen of astronomy’ (👈@edobergerhvd) die zwarte gaten maakt tot lichtpuntjes in donkere tijden!

🚨 We are hiring Postdoc Fellows in Gravitational Waves / Compact Objects / Massive Stars 🌟 🚨adv: https://t.co/pAaa32JyOr… more info: https://t.co/rnHIzjUpKY…
Come join our fantastic campus & department!
@ucsdastro @UCSanDiego👇🌟-& yes we are also taking PhD students!

[Karan Jani @AstroKPJ]

New paper on entropy and merging black holes from my lab's youngest researcher: Siyuan Chen (rising senior @VanderbiltU). This is her first scientific publication so please do give a kind feedback! Also, Siyuan is considering grad schools on GW astro!

Our new initiative to accelerate AI/ML in Physics & Astro at @UCSDPhySci between @ucsdastro @HDSIUCSD @SDSC_UCSD & @UCSDPhysics got highlighted today!

[UC San Diego School of Physical Sciences @UCSDPhySci]

SMASHing records in the big data era of astronomy and physics! A new initiative led by @UCSDAstro's @FloorAstro brings together researchers from across campus to help spark new collaborations and strengthen their skills and knowledge in machine learning and data science.

[Tiffany Nichols, JD, PhD @onthemasspike]

Very excited to announce that I will be the Vice Chair of the History of Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society (@AAS_Office) starting in 2025!
