Rob Coyne

Astrophysicist at the @universityofri and a member of @LIGO. Also I tweet now. Opinions are my own, and probably shouldn't be taken seriously. He/him.

Indeed. It’s time to welcome a new member to the GW family 😄

Meet #GW230529 👋

It’s time for a thread! 🧵🪡

I, for one, cannot wait to hear what they have in store! Whatever it is, it’s sure to be both interesting and exciting!

[NANOGrav PFC @NANOGrav]

Mark your calendars and get ready for a major announcement from the NANOGrav collaboration on June 29th! #nanograv

Artwork I created for the BOAT - GRB 221009A press release! Read more about it here: https://t.co/ptYC4tlRWh

Proposal defense done✌️
1 more milestone to go for Dr. MV

[UMass-URI Gravity Research Consortium @UMassURIGravity]

Hard to imagine a better inaugural tweet than congratulating our very own @manas_vishal for passing his proposal defense today! Nice work, Manas. Excited for what comes next!

[Rob Coyne @robcoyne]

Great morning of productive discussions in our #GreatPresentations workshop here at #AAS241. It’s been wonderful working with so many talented scientists who want to refine their presentation skills!

[Rob Coyne @robcoyne]

I don’t usually find myself watching @cspan in the middle of a workday. But the Omnibus Spending Bill that just passed the senate contained $1M dedicated explicitly to @universityofri’s physics department (!!!) to support our quantum computing program, so I couldn’t help myself!

[Vijay Varma @vijay_x_varma]

Come work with us at UMass Dartmouth and U. Rhode Island! Multiple PhD openings in gravitational wave science: https://t.co/cSKfXVXsw2.

[Rob Coyne @robcoyne]

And that's it! Thread done.

We now return to our regularly scheduled intermittent tweeting.

[Rob Coyne @robcoyne]

On the off chance anyone saw me on @wpri12’s News Now at 4 with @KimKalunian and flocked to Twitter to find out more, I've prepared a short thread for you.

[Rob Coyne @robcoyne]

Finally, if you like the night sky, you might like https://t.co/2TMoxfJWgg – it's a free (and open source) virtual planetarium. You can use it to track all the things we talked about today (even those Starlink constellations). Lots of other great apps (free and paid) too!

[Rob Coyne @robcoyne]

The bio/medical physics group at @universityofri continues to do incredible work. Absolutely phenomenal. 🤩

This is not what I was expecting to find when I came to campus this morning. But here we are. I wonder what they’re majoring in…?

[Rob Coyne @robcoyne]

Good morning, London! Beautiful day for a walkabout. A shame I won’t get to see more of you. Alas, there’s science to be done in Cardiff!

[Rob Coyne @robcoyne]

This is every bit as stunning as I dreamed it would be. Way to go JWST! 😍
