Cosmology in 2025 will be really exciting so I put together a ‘Top 2025 Cosmology Papers I’m Looking Forward To’. Ordered from nearest to furthest, and guessing a bit on when they’ll come out. A fun 🧵

@ashleyruba_phd My experience is that business does not appreciate what you offer until they see it, but once your accomplishments outpace those with less problem-solving experience, your personal intangible qualities become recognized and highly valued by those who know you.

[Sheldon Campbell @shscampbell]

@ashleyruba_phd This feeling is relatable. It is healthy to also reflect on the other side of it.

I recommend recalling personal growth--what you can accomplish now that would have been out-of-reach before.

Much of this is intangible and cannot be reflected on a resume or even in an interview.

Zoozve is delightful!

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

Announcing ChatGaia! Chat with the Gaia Archive - no code required. ChatGaia could greatly help astronomy students get started with astronomy data by turning hours of work into seconds.

@hankgreen Realize and real eyes. (Is that cheating?)

The only known video interview of Georges Lemaître, Jesuit priest and father of the Big Bang theory, has been recovered. Here's an English transcript.

Fascinating read. People have such wonderful ways of saying things. https://t.co/W8ocjVWhOs

@rittenhousewest Fun stuff. I think you dropped a '-' sign on the right hand side of the 2nd iteration. So x^3+x^-3=-2 I believe.

Here are infrared and visible views separated so you can really appreciate how well the dust can be separated from the stars with the right set of tools, such as a multi-billion dollar telescope.

This endowment established in @astro__jose’s honor will fund a fellowship that will support @UCIPhysAstro grads like José in the future.

Many, many thanks to @jbprime and @blakebullock for all the work they did to make this happen ♥️

[James Bullock @jbprime]

A personal story here. ⁦@blakebullock⁩ and I are happy to have helped establish this endowment honoring José. We lost him way too soon but hope his legacy can endure through this prize. https://t.co/iZlMK5wi6K

I couldn't help it and had a go at that awesome MeerKAT image of the Milky Way centre recently released by @SKA_Africa Rather than just plotting the intensity, I've used a colour palette to map the spectral index. 🌈

My most proud accomplishment of '21 is seeing the #WomenInSTEM whose @Wikipedia biographies I've written be recognised in public life: providing expert analysis to BBC News, receiving shiny awards and becoming household names. I've written 1,550 since the start of 2018 😃🥳

Today is paper day!
It was great collaborating with Sujata Pandey, Vedran Brdar, and @ProfJohnBeacom!

Short answer: yes to both, but we can probe them!

Brent Tully has spent close to 40 years mapping the cartography of the galaxy distribution about the Milky Way - here are some updated results from the wonderful 2010-17 analyses:

@rittenhousewest Wonderful, Dr. Jennifer! Made my day to hear!
