"Don't worry, we are not going to be sucked into this black hole" 😅 I had fun chatting about the new @ehtelescope image of the supermassive black hole at the centre of the milky way yesterday.

BIG NEWS IN PHYSICS! The first ever evidence for light year long gravitational waves that *might* be due to merging supermassive black holes. All possible thanks to pulsar timing arrays, explained in this video 👇 #GravitationalWaves #NANOGrav #pulsars

Of course I would get COVID for the second time ever when writing my thesis. The first time was with a strict paper deadline. I think it just knows when I have to write important things 👀

my first Ramburuth-Hurt et al. is out on @arxiv! we show that the gas in small distant galaxies doesn't contain the same mix of elements in all locations (it's chemically diverse!) proud to be contributing to the study of gas flows in and around galaxies🌌 arxiv.org/abs/2302.00131

A lovely way to start 2023! When I started my PhD, gravitational-wave astronomy seemed a long way off. It is amazing how the field has developed, and I'm fortunate to have been able to work with so many excellent people! Please join me in some celebratory cake
