RAS day meeting on FRIDAY this week. We've got a great day of talks about multi-tracer views of galaxies in the first few billion years! Join us in London or online, details here: ras.ac.uk/events-and-mee…

A huge amount of work goes into building a cycling community, bravo Anna! Station South Cycling Club is awesome (I am biased), join us if you're Manchester way

I find it mind boggling that we can measure merging supermassive black holes in distant galaxies using pulsars in own galaxy! So much cool physics here.

@CathImogenLough Yes!

T ➖ 3⃣ days to targeted launch day 🚀 Here's what to expect on 1 July: 📺 16:30–18:10 #ESAWebTV programme 🚀 17:11 Lift off 🛰️ 17:53 Separation 📡 17:57 Earliest time to acquire Euclid’s signal ℹ️ More info on how to follow the launch esa.int/Science_Explor…

@Emma_Alexander @Astro_Jonny I can certainly talk about Euclid, however I am "directly involved in the mission" so may not be what you're looking for @Astro_Jonny

@Astro_Jonny @astro_bowler one for you? :)

Hi space Twitter, looking for astronomers to comment on the upcoming Euclid telescope, and what it will tell us, that aren't directly involved in the mission. If that's you, or you know someone, do let me know! Contact details in my bio or my DMs are open. Thanks.

@HarryHamishGray If you're driving this weekend. Make sure not to drive your car into anything.

Despite having the best data ever, our field is now celebrating writing papers in a few days?? Meanwhile these paper sit in the referee inbox for months and people cannot keep up with the arXiv. And then we dare talk about mental health / worklife balance to the young folks??

It was fun to chat to @Astro_Jonny about the prospect of discovering the first stars with JWST, and the challenges!

Are cycle paths not generally gritted @SustransNorth @OfficialTfGM ? The Fallowfield Loop in Manchester, a popular cycling route, was treacherous this morning. I saw one guy who'd had a nasty fall on the ice by Sainsbury's and was waiting for an ambulance - not good.

I'm offering a PhD for start in 2023 at @UoMPhysics to work on distant galaxies, please share! Deadline 12th Jan. jodrellbank.manchester.ac.uk/study/postgrad…

We held our annual JBCA science internal symposium @skao a few weeks ago. It was our first fully in-person meeting since 2019. Great to see the wide breadth of research our groups are conducting. Already looking forward to 2023! Photo courtesy @aj_h

@timdavisastro did they like them? Also how did you create these, want to give it a go...

@timdavisastro This is incredible. Can't stop laughing but also think a few of these will haunt my dreams for a while

Manchester road cyclists: End of season challenge. Do it. Register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-sscc-pym…

My somewhat cynical take on bullies in academia is that they’re a feature, not a bug. I touched on this with an earlier tweet, but the qualities we commonly associate with “top scientist” in academia are extremely present in the kinds of people who bully others.

@NatAdAstra “We need to calm down a little bit,” Adams says. “It’s a bit too early to say we’ve completely broken the universe.” Well said!

Half way through a remote conference talk the power goes out at the venue and now I'm worried it was because of something I said

@astro_bowler @theracingcoll Do you have a gpx of the route? 👍

Another epic cycling weekend thanks @theracingcoll Liverpool to Scarborough with 50% off road #EnglandDuro22 #thisgirlcan #cyclinglife #velovixen
