@jenniferxnicole Hi, we met Banneker 2017 cohort year. I saw you give @hasanthehun the Indigenous Tie live. Hopefully your PhD Defence went well wishing you all the best in the future.
The pioneering work of Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis showed that very cold electrical circuits behave in ways that exhibit fundamental principles of quantum physics. Building on this achievement, Devoret, Martinis, and many others are constructing quantum computers, powerful tools for exploring quantum science and solving very hard computational problems. Congratulations!
Exciting news! 🌟 Dr. Nia Imara, a trailblazing astrophysicist and artist, will be our guest speaker at the Annual Gathering in Philadelphia.
Dr. Imara, the first Black woman to earn a PhD in astrophysics from UC Berkeley, is now a professor of astronomy at UC Santa Cruz.
It is my honor to announce that I have made history as the first black woman to receive a PhD in Physics from @GeorgiaStateU! During this journey I attained:
BS MATH
MS MATH
MS PHYSICS
MS Computer Science
PhD Astrophysics
Today is the first day of Black history month. Many people/orgs will make a social media post, maybe have a little celebration, but I want to share some things you can do to ACTUALLY honor the sacrifices Black people have made and acknowledge the suffering we have experienced 🧵
Remembering Dr. Ronald E. McNair along with the rest of the Challenger crew of STS-51L who perished 36 years ago today. Today, Im thinking about how grateful I am for Dr. McNairs legacy and how the program formed in his honor, the McNair program, is why I am where I am today.

This thread is for educators bc I am worried by how my students talk about their accommodations. Many are apologetic, many feel the need to convince me that they CAN do well and that they ARE smart. And all I can think is: what the fuck did you do to make them feel this way? 1/17
Today, at 2 p.m. EST, #NASAWebb fired its onboard thrusters for nearly five minutes (297 seconds) to complete the final post-launch course correction to send Webb to L2.
“Webb, welcome home!” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson: https://t.co/KZBVrF9Z54

Another milestone complete! ✅
Today's orbital insertion burn today was a success! #Webb has now arrived to its final orbit around the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point ("L2") around 1.5 million kilometres away (animation 👇). Details: https://t.co/DlriNEVjcM 📷: @NASAGoddard
Sur ce graphe, voici tout les gens ayant mentionné "JWST" dans un tweet le 25 et 26 Décembre 2021!
L'analyse a déjà été faite en video, lien vers l'analyse de @astropierre et @SpaceExplorerW dans le QRT.

As promised, here are some sample questions to ask at the end of a PhD program interview:
- How do students get matched to advisors? Can students work with multiple advisors? Can students work with non-faculty (postdocs, staff scientists)?
Here are some interview tips for US-based astro grad programs!
(Source: my experience on grad interview committees at Caltech Astro a few years ago. Take with a grain of salt—all programs are different, and admissions committees change every year!) 🧵
