@Astrono_Ray Congrats! I'm so excited you'll be joining us here at A&M! It'll be fun to have another @CWRUastro alum around!

[Jacqueline Clark Ludwig @JacquieLudwig]

I finished my PhD about 2 months ago, and I just want to share that:
*I spent >5 of 6yrs convinced that I was uniquely behind or lost or dumb
*I worked 50+hrs some weeks but 15 others
*Rest and hobbies helped my science

Struggling doesn't mean you don't belong.

We may not know exactly what ionizes the gas in these galaxies, but we were able to model all of their emission lines self-consistently.

Hi #astrotwitter! My second 1st-author paper with @DanielleABerg is out on the arxiv today! If you've ever wondered what stellar populations are in Reionization analogues or how to reproduce He II from extreme emission line galaxies, check it out! https://t.co/A8EvC4vWDn

So we try to get an idea of what the additional source of photons might look like and find that we need a source ~80,000K with a luminosity half that of the young stars in the galaxy! In the end, we don't know what that source is, but we made a list of options to test!

#Astronomers who play PokémonGO rejoice! The stars and planets are in the game now with the real-time sky update! Thanks @PokemonGoApp this is beautiful! ❤️

@astrojysun Congratulations Dr. Sun!

[Dr. Grace Olivier @goastroscience]

@IAUS361 was awesome and the social media coverage was super fun too!

[IAU Symposium 361: Massive Stars Near and Far @IAUS361]

Next up is Grace Olivier from @OSUAstro discussing powering mechanism behind emission lines in very young Galaxies ... Exciting (<- See what I did there 🙃)

What a wonderful way to wake up.

*pulls up boots* First step completed. Now for the real work to come.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day has to be ‘suspire’: to (finally) breathe out.

[Dr. Grace Olivier @goastroscience]

@romy_rodz Thanks!

I passed my candidacy exam yesterday and today I turned in my absentee ballot!
It feels good to have both those off my plate.

I’m sad I missed out on the “I Ohio Voting” sticker this year, but last time I somehow ended up with 2 so I guess this evens it out.

[Dr. Grace Olivier @goastroscience]

@ProfAnnikaPeter I bought new lipstick for my candidacy exam this week so it feels like I’m actually wearing some when I look at myself on screen.

For some reason I always think sitting on the floor will make me more productive.

The only positive of this pandemic is that no one can see me sit on the floor in my office.
