I’m Doctor in Astrophysics 🤩🎉

This has been a wild ride with many sacrifices but it worth it. I’m extremely proud of my achievements and thankful of the amazing people who have been with me all my way: my family, friends, partner, and mentors.

@metodologica_cl Gracias por compartir! Me gustaría destacar también que esta investigación fue liderada por una astrónoma chilena! Somos cientos de chilenos y chilenas haciendo ciencia alrededor del mundo.

[Pía Cortés Zuleta @piacortes]

Hoy día la revista científica Astronomy&Astrophysics publicó mi último descubrimiento ✨🔭

Se trata de un nuevo exoplaneta llamado Gl 725A b, el cual es una de las super-Tierras más cercanas a nosotros (a solo 3.5 parsec)!

I don’t have the chance to share my scientific outreach writing with an English-speaking audience very often, but here is a piece I prepared for a collaboration between @el_pais and @ScienceFridays about astronomy in Latin America. Enjoy!

New analysis from the @royalsociety shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries.

Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5

Argentinean Science is under jeopardy again.
The new government not only has lowered the range of Ministry of Science to a Secretary. He has now decided that, the 2024 budget of our main institucion of Science #CONICET will be equal to 2023. Meaning no even money for salaries!!!

[Pía Cortés Zuleta @piacortes]

Good luck finding postdocs to come to work here… oh no, wait: the starting salary is less than that so they won’t get a visa 🤗

This is completely 💩

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 BREAKING: Rishi Sunak will increase the salary threshold so that EVERY migrant has to earn over £38k before coming to Britain in a major plan to slash migration

He will also announce new limits on them bringing family
