@BillyBoydActor @JohnRhys_Davies @DomsWildThings @elijahwood @SeanAstin Well, if you live near a university, just convince them to invite me for a talk! Or let me know if you're ever around western Massachusetts, haha. Dwarf galaxies are amazing, and I think everyone should know about them!

.@JohnRhys_Davies @DomsWildThings @BillyBoydActor @elijahwood @SeanAstin if you happen to still be in NOLA tomorrow and want to learn something cool about space, I'm giving some talks on "dwarf" galaxies, which seems relevant to your interests!
English
@JohnRhys_Davies @DomsWildThings @BillyBoydActor @elijahwood @SeanAstin dwarf galaxies are both small (compared to other galaxies) and very powerful (as tools for physics)! I just feel like that's maybe a thing a dwarf and hobbits might find very fitting!

I think this might be my last post on here, but at least I'll go out doing what I love: yelling into the void about how academic institutions need to change
Physics Magazine@PhysicsMagazine
Astronomers call on the @IAU_org and other institutions to rename galaxies and facilities bearing the name of Ferdinand Magellan, a colonial explorer who enslaved and murdered Indigenous people. Read more in this Opinion by @MiaDoesAstro. physics.aps.org/articles/v16/1…

@MiaDoesAstro So you have not been to any faculty meeting, I guess? 😂

sry for not posting a lot here but twitter is dying and anyway it turns out my version of professor life is pretty boring so far
English
on a related note, my biggest piece of advice for anyone interested in academia (who doesn’t have a peanut allergy) is to always get the lao gan ma with peanuts

my friends messaging me: omg how's professor life treating you? are you excited??
me, eating chili oil cucumbers at 10:30pm while trying to avoid thinking about course prep: uhhhhh

10 years ago, I gave my first astro research talk as a baby summer student at @stsci. Today, I gave a talk wearing the exact same outfit, because despite my best efforts I have not grown a single inch since then 😭

@MiaDoesAstro just gave a great talk about DIVE Survey, advocating for IFU surveys to connect resolved and integrated regime #northeast_dwarfs

@BenneHolwerda UVEX has some spectroscopic capabilities, I thought?
English
@MiaDoesAstro I was gonna say...isn't that what UVEX is? Also ULTRASAT (which I hear in my head in the voice of All Might of My Hero Academia because kids)
All-sky is wonderful and all but can we do more than two filters for a change? Please?

oh my god of course like 5 min after I tweet this, Suvi Gezari shows a slide about UVEX

I just think astronomers deserve more extragalactic UV data, as a treat
