After 25 years, an international group of astronomers, including from @jodrellbank @OfficialUoM, have seen the first evidence of low frequency gravitational waves that could hold answers about the formation and evolution of our Universe! 🌌

Got to work this morning and found out I'd just won the #ShawPrize with my treasured scientific colleagues Dunc Lorimer and Maura McLaughlin! Such an honour and justified my inability to sleep on the night we first say the dispersion sweep and realised its scientific potential!
