Curious about the origins of stars, planets, and life (among other things). Currently based at the Institute for Astronomy, ETH, Zurich, Switzerland.

Wondering where to look for gas giants around M dwarfs? https://t.co/b4wXu176x4

The SPHERE SHINE @ESO-VLT survey bags planetary mass companion around rapidly rotating, non-dusty A star in Sco Cen. https://t.co/D86Pwj6GVd

@AstroDino Yes! Yuuuge fan of the AGPM. Go Keck, go...

@ExoCharbonneau @EricMamajek Thanks for clarifying what @EricMamajek has been working on!

Can economic growth continue indefinitely? Thermodynamics (and Tom Murphy) suggests not http://t.co/gb14ngMprJ

To MOOC or not to MOOC? Considering quality, cost, and mission, the answer will vary. Consider Amherst College and Generation Rwanda.

Curious about the role of water in planet formation? Check out NZZ coverage of Protostars and Planets VI, in German. http://t.co/oafQN3rdbJ

[Michael R. Meyer @mmcra]

Protostars and Planets VI starts tonight in Heidelberg, DE. My fourth since PPIII in Tucson, AZ in 1990. We've come a long way baby.

"First light" for the ETH Astro Lab infrared optical test bench. Congratulations to Jarron Leisenring and the folks from Orion Labs!

[Michael R. Meyer @mmcra]

Congratulations to Dr. Andrea Banzatti, newly minted PhD from ETH ASTRO. Thesis entitled "Water in Protoplanetary Disks".

[Michael R. Meyer @mmcra]

Congrats to the SEEDS Team and their cool discovery around GJ 504! We need to think beyond core accretion and GI. http://t.co/9G5ouHOm8r

[Michael R. Meyer @mmcra]

Andreas Zsom, Kevin Covey, Alyssa Goodman, Kamen Todorov, Klaus Pontoppidan, and the Team from Orion Labs visit ETH ASTRO. Busy week!

ESO takes next steps in developing high res imager/spectrograph for its new adaptive optics facility 2017: Go ERIS!

Mirror mirror orbiting counter-clockwise, how does Sunlight reflecting off you polarize? Bazzon et al. (earthshine) http://t.co/Nc8irGtvWM

[Michael R. Meyer @mmcra]

Many circumstellar dust distributions derived from young star SEDs are not in hydrostatic equilibrium. Houston, we have a problem.

What would YOU do with a mid-IR camera/spectrograph on a 39 meter telescope?

[Michael R. Meyer @mmcra]

Core mass function + binary frac vs star mass + universal CMRD + constant SFE = IMF? #ethastro
