@johngizis I had very good experiences with them. However, I have the feeling that my paper published there slipped under the radar of my peers (maybe due to it not being in one of the big Astro journals?). I would rather save on senior people's page charge money than grade students though.

Astronomy tweeps: any thoughts on Open Journal of Astrophysics? I want to save limited page charge money for the grad student led papers.

For Pride month, I hosted the Inaugural Pride lecture in Oxford Physics. You can read about it here, the article contains a link to the recording of the lecture by Prof Peter Coles. Thanks to @OxfordPhysics and @mplsoxford for supporting this initiative! physics.ox.ac.uk/news/taking-pr…

Yesterday I hosted the first ever Pride lecture in @OxfordPhysics. We had the incredible Prof. Peter Coles from the University of Maynooth intertwine his research on cosmology with experiences of being an out gay man since the 80s!

"We are on the threshold of a new era in cosmology ... It is very exciting to be at the forefront of such an important scientific development." - Prof Peter Coles @MUTheorPhys @ESA_Euclid irishtimes.com/ireland/2024/0…

🗞️ Papers are in! The scientific secrets revealed by the images we released yesterday are detailed in a number of papers released by the Euclid collaboration, together with five key reference papers about the Euclid mission. Dig in here 👉 euclid-ec.org/science/public…

ICYMI #ESAEuclid released five sparkling cosmic views yesterday to celebrate its first science. 🤩 Discover them here 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor… 📺 Watch a replay of the broadcast here 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=vwwZ0b…

Prof. Peter Coles of @MUTheorPhys is quoted in this article in the Irish Times... irishtimes.com/ireland/2024/0…

European space mission @ESA_Euclid has released early scientific papers based on observations made by the space telescope, along with 5 new astronomical images of the Universe, as the project sets about unravelling the secrets of the cosmos. @MUTheorPhys maynoothuniversity.ie/news-events/eu…

What the Euclid telescope has revealed about the universe so far: as @esa's Euclid space mission releases five unprecedented new views of the Universe, Peter Coles @MaynoothUni explores the discoveries made, from new-born planets to distant galaxies rte.ie/brainstorm/202…

If you would like to see the 5 new Early Release Observations from @ESA_Euclid, the live feed starts at 11am Irish Time today (12.00 CEST): youtu.be/vwwZ0bjORI4

The Big Reveal, this Thursday: esa.int/Science_Explor…

I had a wonderful time last week at @MUTheorPhys/@MaynoothUni & @DIAS_Dublin, where I gave two talks about my work on scaling relations in strongly interacting electron-phonon superconductors. I hope to be back in Maynooth and Dublin soon!

📢 Media invitation: join discussions on the future of Europe in space on 22-23 May in Brussels. Several significant announcements will be made during these two days, including the unveiling of a second set of images from @ESA_Euclid. More details 👉 esa.int/Newsroom/Press…

Lost in a sea of stars..& the mesmerising dance of the #auroraborealis. #LÉGEORGEBERNARDSHAW #P64 conducting Maritime Defence & Security Operations under a sky painted with nature's most magnificent show is an experience that words can't capture #NorthernLights #IrishNavy #BeMore

Major thanks to my co-chair @jaregan and the rest of the SOC @marmezcua_astro, Raffaella Schneider, and Roberto Maiolino Thanks to @MaynoothUni @MUTheorPhys @SEFSUCC @PhysicsUcc for the support! And thanks to the amazing @TridentHotel for providing the perfect venue

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating from Maynooth University 🌙 We’d like to wish our students, staff, alumni and friends a joyous and peaceful Eid al-Fitr. #EidMubarak2024
