this position, there are things I'd like to share about our department. Please reach out to me -- I will be generous with my time and information! Good luck to all on the market. (2/2)
In "Star-crossed Clusters," we investigate the discrepancies between asteroseismic ages for individual stars and the ages of their host star clusters. Will this classic tale end in joy or tragedy?? Read for more
Happy Valentine's Day ♥️🌸

Calling all astrophysicists interested in stars! 📷Take our quick (<5 min) survey to share your experience with MESA and help shape its future 📷. Not a MESA user? We’d love to hear about other stellar evolution codes too. Your insights are invaluable!

Election season always reminds me to be grateful that I predict inconsequential matters, like when the Sun will engulf us all in hellfire

“Basically, if there’s no Betelbuddy, then that means there’s something way weirder going on — something impossible to explain with current physics.” — #FlatironCCA astrophysicist Jared Goldberg on new research into red supergiant star Betelgeuse. simonsfoundation.org/2024/10… #astrophysics #science
FYI, it's not just us who think there's a companion there!
Check out this result from MacLeod et al., who come to the same conclusion we do, but using astrometric evidence.
Their paper: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/20…
Our paper (accepted version now on arxiv): arxiv.org/pdf/2408.09089
Betelgeuse has a low-mass companion, now accepted to ApJ!

my job is hard and competitive and draining but sometimes I get show an undergrad woman how the terminal environment works and watch her squeal with glee, "OMG I'm a hacker!!!"
Watch me awkwardly walk through the forest and talk about stars!

My political opinions aside, Americans have no idea how insane and despised Victor Orban is, or even who that is, so using him as a reference point is weird
Someone drop that "concepts of a plan" screenshot so I can describe trying to write grant budget justifications

I don't post here too often anymore, but... science news: Henia, Maddy, Csilla, @MeridithJoyceGR and I made RR Lyrae masses _kind of_ work.

RIP Tom Jarrett. You were a role model, friend, & one of my biggest supporters, but most of all, you were one of the most genuinely curious people I've ever met: a true academic & increasingly rare breed of scientist. I'm heartbroken to get this news today. You helped me get here
