#BlackInPhysicsRollCall Hey, I'm Pfesi and I am a final year Ph.D. in astrophysics @WitsUniversity. I'm focused on exploring Multiwavelength correlations of blazars using gamma-ray/radio/optical observations. I'm also developing software to process single-dish radio data.

@rainSouthAfrica My router stopped working yesterday and no one has helped me sort this out. Can you please get someone to assist.

The #VBS scandal is devastating. Growing up in Venda, VBS Bank was a source of immense pride for our community. To learn there's a 263-page document detailing the corruption that caused its downfall is infuriating and heartbreaking. https://t.co/VpoPlkguqf

@SpaceX @elonmusk South Africa is hosting the biggest astronomical gathering (IAU GA 2024) for the first time on the African continent in August. It would be so cool to show the public an exhibition from spaceX. Consider becoming a sponsor 😉🚀. https://t.co/3apPXuSpGJ

To the South Africans, a place called American Samoa is 13 hours behind us so we’ve got until tomorrow lunchtime somewhere 😉. You’re welcome. #procrastinatorsAnonymous #iau2024

So for those who tend to leave things to the very last minute (#astronomers 😉), the exact deadline is midnight UTC-12. Basically if it's still 1st March anywhere in the world, you can still submit your abstracts/grants/early bird registration. And yes, you can pay later.
