Yesterday was my last day of working at Google. Perhaps this comes as surprise to you twitter folks, as I haven't widely announced that I left academia to try something new. Here's what I learned in 9 months as a Data Analyst who (temporarily) left Astronomy for Big Tech. 1/n

We (with @VoltarCH) have a new preprint out today: arxiv.org/abs/2412.14330 Long story short: if your only tool is "planarity", everything looks like a plane (of satellite galaxies). But let me explain. 🧵

@GoAstroMo Was at a coffee break and had a chat in a round. After we left somebody asked me if I'd recognized the person next to me... After realizing it was Bell Burnell I was star struck for the rest of the day. Good thing I didn't realize it during the chat, otherwise might have frozen.

Not me just casually sitting next to THE Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell at a conference and not realizing it 🤦🏽‍♀️

Or the disgust of French bakers when you order a Banette but accidentally call it Baguette.

I think I have heard a lot about the number system in French...but it is still quite impressive when I finally get to learn it 😅

Any ERC Starting Grantees out there willing to have a chat with me for tips and tricks?

For an ERC Starting Grant, I see that many recommend not to do a "continuation" of your current research project, but rather go for a "dream project" (e.g. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…). What if your current project *is* your dream project? Any thoughts on that?

New paper, lead by @Heesters_N, in which we find an increased incidence of significantly lopsided (asymmetric) satellite galaxy distributions around a large sample of observed host galaxies. Nick tweeted a fantastic thread about it, too. Go check it out and give him a follow!👇
Nick Heesters, Ph.D.@Heesters_N

It's paper day! arxiv.org/abs/2406.11684, incl. Helmut Jerjen, @VoltarCh, @8minutesold and Jamie Kanehisa. We quantified the degree of lopsidedness in a large sample of isolated satellite systems in the Local Volume and beyond. 🧵

Check out @Heesters_N's second paper of his Ph.D. on anistropies in dwarf galaxy satellite distributions. It's a very cool work and showcases what you actually can do with the growing catalogs of nearby dwarf galaxy systems.

@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.

I WANT people to know it was me that liked their tweets. Now my only option is to reply & write the word "like". This will seriously cut into my time wishing folks a🎂! How can we get the powers-that-be to STOP "improving" this site? Grrrrrr! 🤬 #BringBackLIKES
Liz 🃏🤡😈💜💙@SLegend55

@MarkHamill Maybe we can start a hashtag to bring back "likes"? Perhaps #BringLikesBack? I bet it would go viral if you tweeted it!

Paper day! @IzzyGrayAstro proposes a new model for NSC formation in tiny dwarfs. Prediction: NSCs should have CMDs with >2, distinct, MS turnoffs. Some nearby CGs like OCen and M54 show exactly this behaviour, suggesting they could be accreted NSCs! arxiv.org/abs/2405.19286
