Breaking news: the Event Horizon Telescope team unveils strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*. This new image suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes. #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole

I had such a lovely time at AGU this year discussing some initial work modeling subglacial hydrology in the Karakoram Himalaya with Aleah Sommers, @BrentMinchew @jakobfsteiner @colinrmeyer @M_A_Siddique stay tuned for more :)

What would Pluto do?

Chandrayaan-3 Mission: Updates: The communication link is established between the Ch-3 Lander and MOX-ISTRAC, Bengaluru. Here are the images from the Lander Horizontal Velocity Camera taken during the descent. #Chandrayaan_3 #Ch3

@SheerPriya @americanacad Congratulations Priya! Richly deserved!

Dear Friends -- This just happened yesterday....thrilled and deeply grateful for this recognition. Excited to be in such illustrious company with so many people I admire in Science and beyond...wow! gob-smacked! Thanks! @americanacad amacad.org/new-members-20…

@NicosPanoptikum Yes, for tonight. But unfortunately, the LMT will not join. We have a snowstorm at the site

@gopastro Is there another multi-wavelength night planned?

Last night the LMT joined a global array of radio telescopes forming the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), and a coordinated multi-wavelength campaign (including space telescopes) of monitoring SgrA*, the super-massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.

I love Indian classical, Western classical, rock & roll, and various forms of world music. But the music I cherish the most? The sweet rhythmic sounds of a receiver getting ready for observations. We are prepping for EHT 2023 at the LMT. @ehtelescope @gtmlmt_oficial

@SheerPriya Good luck Priya. Hope all goes well

Wish me luck folks for my appointment with the retina surgeon this morning 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

My favorite part about my job is the people. Hands down. Thanks to @CNS_UMass for featuring me for #WomansHistoryMonth2023 ❤️

@JokesAstro Proud to have done everything except AOL. And programmed with punch cards, Fortran, IDL. And plotted with SM, used pine, and used IRAF & AIPS with magnetic tapes. And ran 0.99 Linux kernel. Twas the fresh tech of the day, just as I am imbibing the tech of today. So there!

He lost some steam on Y & Z, but damn that was good!

Somewhere over (above?) the rainbow! When you are above rainclouds and rainbows

hello! are you a non-binary undergrad/grad/postdoc+ in STEM? are you looking for community? send me a DM and I’ll set you up in the International Society of Non-Binary Scientists slack, where you can meet hundreds of folks all across subfields!

Fall in New England! Always a great season to remind you what a special place this is.

@hfalcke @drannawatts In my presentations to the public, I actually use the Black Hole of Calcutta as the origin of the term. Apparently the prison was hellish - and not very many inmates made it out alive once sent there.

@drannawatts See this interesting paper: arxiv.org/abs/1811.06587. black hole of Calcutta might have been the origin (and perhaps initially they didn’t feel comfortable with it until it took a life of its own).

@AkAstronomy I am so sorry to hear all this Allison! I absolutely hate that this kind of thing continues to happen in our field

@desikanarayanan @chargedcurrent @ProfAnnikaPeter Strange to be dragged by twitterati into an obscure name spoofing thread! I had to track down the origin of the thread. Very amusing. @desikanarayanan - you might recall that I tried to recruit you to UMass for grad school

Someone is spoofing my account--my name sans one n. It's been reported. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@awootten My condolences

Gloom...lost my youngest nephew to glioblastoma last night.
