Shelley Wright

What are UFOs? The answer is out there... check out this special from @novapbs premiering TONIGHT and hear was @UCSDAstro prof Shelley Wright has to say about searching for intelligent life in the universe. bit.ly/3PosOBz @ikashell

@BethanyALudwig @AstroVayner That is awesome!!! Nice to see the lab still going! With even the original quote from my first year teaching that lab!

This feels serendipitous. 7 years ago I took an undergrad course at UCSD with @ikashell and @AstroVayner who encouraged me to go to UofT's instrumentation camp where I met my future advisor. I'm now TAing it in my last semester of grad school! #FullCircle

@Osianamoon @mrzasa1 @Akam1129 Ooof! Now that’s a harsh take! Nowhere did I say never. I said surprising!

@mrzasa1 @Akam1129 @ikashell It’s called EGO . Very close minded and stuck. Because it’s beyond their understanding it couldn’t possibly exist! That is what has held humanity back and keeps them from learning.

UC San Diego has just released a job ad for multiple assistant professor positions in our new A&A @ucsdastro department. Note that the review date to be fully considered is October 20th. jobregister.aas.org/ad/9740e6af astro.ucsd.edu

Another exciting day full of planetarium shows. We’re spending a day with a SD space camp week for K-6 students. A pic of grad student James Wiley and myself at the start of the day! #cosmictours

Yay! Very excited to have Prof. Theissen (@philosicist) join us at @ucsdastro !

🚨 Call your congresspeople now to ask for support to fund @NASA and @NSF, protect these agencies from severe budget cuts, and let them know how important federal funding is for the astronomical sciences in the United States. aas.org/advocacy/get-i… #astronomy

@annalikesstars Congratulations 🍾🎈🎊!!!! Whoohoo San Diego!!!

Finally, some very good news to share. “I’m excited to announce” that I have accepted a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at SDSU in the Astronomy dept & Computational Sciences Research Center starting this Fall… I am also buying a condo in SD! #adulting 🧵1/7

@AstroClary Whoohoo! Congrats!

NOW: We're holding a public meeting of our independent study team for categorizing and evaluating data of unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP. More info on today's meeting: go.nasa.gov/3nVqp7g twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

When we’re not posing with the telescope, we are working on defining and cross-checking all interfaces. A team of us inside the best adaptive optics(AO) system in the world - Keck AO.

The Liger team had a great engineering trip to @keckobservatory. Years of planning and design go into an astronomical instrument, and of course a massive team effort!

A great piece on one of our family's closest friends! Terry Cherry is an AMAZING person and officer, and I'm so proud to see her dedicated, hard work celebrated and advertised. Police Departments around the nation should take a look at her recruitment model.

Big shout out and congratulations to @jaimealyse on her new book! Thanks for the quote and great writing about optical #SETI. :) I'm enjoying reading this well-written piece.

@brant_robertson Really nice interview @brant_robertson

Probably won’t last very long, and that’s a good thing!

@UCSDPhySci @AmerChemSociety @kprather88 @UCSDChemBiochem @Scripps_Ocean Congratulations!!!
