Check out our new paper in PSJ!

We examine young impact features to shed light on irradiation timescales on Europa's trailing hemisphere. Forming sulfuric acid may take longer than previously thought, while irradiation-induced reddening of salts seems to proceed very quickly!

I had a lot of fun chatting with Frank Timmes about our recent paper on mapping Io's surface spectroscopically with @sktrumbo @ben_cassese @plutokiller. Thanks for having us!

New AAS Journal Author Series video! Samantha Trumbo (@Cornell) & Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy (@caltech) chat about their article on Io: https://t.co/YjT8CTQqZg

The goal of this series is to connect authors w/ their article, their human story & the larger #astronomy community.

@astro_catherine Catherine! Congratulations, that’s amazing news! I would love to hangout once you get here. Happy to show you around Pasadena/Caltech as well. Let me know if you need any help finding housing or with moving logistics or anything :)

@AuntimusPrime @laubaiwri A few years ago I was sent to the ER by an extremely concerned PCP who actually called ahead. Didn’t know it yet but I have an extremely rare condition (called HPP). Young ER doc (maybe mid-30’s?) barely looked at me and said “go home, you’re just a stressed college student”

@AstroAlysa Don't "smile excessively" but also don't make "negative facia expressions"!?!? Like what single facial expression am I supposed to be holding!? 🙄🤦

[redacted] charges $5,560 for an author to publish in their journals and valued at over $1.5 billion but came to me for a professional consultation on how to attract diversity to their organization and refused to pay 😂🐸☕️ Enjoying the performance. From afar. Very very far.

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

@PlanetaryPiggy Ugh, yeah. Having it keep crashing in just **slighty** too little time to fix it is the most frustrating cycle.

Glad you're almost there though and Good luck!!

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

@PlanetaryPiggy That's good! I'm glad it's not gonna be a huge setback or anything and you have backups - but still seems like a pain!

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

Can't tell if he wants to help me with my final, or distract me so I don't finish 😺

That's a "how dare you stop petting me to take photo face", so I'm leaning towards the latter!

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

@stellerarts So sorry you had to deal with that! It makes even less sense considering we all chose to take that class...

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

@stellerarts As one of the undergrads who took this class, I can attest to the accuracy 😂

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

@keshawnrants Just me trying to figure out if you're *eating a pickle* or creating a python file...

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

@stellerarts Trite!?!? Your art is amazing!

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

@AstroLevy @azstewobs Congrats! That's amazing! 🎉

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

@Kim_RoadtoPhD @ravenscimaven Most things have already been covered, but I would just re-iterate that your relationship with your advisor is crucial! Definitely reach out to current and former students if you can, most are happy to talk frankly about working with this person. Congrats on getting accepted!!

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

@astro_catherine Everything at once, but split into windows for each project, seperated by virtual screens. This might explain why my laptop is sometimes a tad slow...

[Ryleigh Davis @import_astroRy]

Excited that my recent work at the @NAU PEAXS lab (with @robynmeier, John Cooper, and Mark Loeffler) has been published in ApJ Letters! We show that electron irradiation can be the dominant driver (vs heavy ions) in forming O2 exospheres of icy satellites: https://t.co/yUHGgNEDVP
