I’m thrilled to share that I have been awarded a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, to work on “The Local Environments of Supernova Siblings”, starting in September! 🌟Thank you to everyone who has supported me! 🌌

A massive thanks to my collaborators @OrGraur @lgalbany @astro_pwise @wycombe7 and others not on Twitter! 🌌⭐️

In this program, I am investigating a sample of nearby SNe Ia siblings to see if sub-galactic differences in their environments provide the answer to improve SNe Ia standardisation for cosmology! Stay tuned for results soon! 🧵5/5

Thank you to the NASA/ESA team for featuring my HST data of NGC 4753 for picture of the week! 🌌#supernova 🧵1/5
European Space Agency@esa
📷 This NASA/ESA @HUBBLE_space telescope image shows a breathtaking view of the galaxy NGC 4753 and its complex dust structures. This galaxy is a lenticular galaxy, meaning it has an elliptical shape and ill-defined spiral arms. It is believed to have formed from a galaxy merging with a nearby smaller galaxy creating these distinct dust lanes around the centre.

We did it! Today we released the Dark Energy Survey @theDESurvey supernova cosmology results!!!
A massive effort from many people. This has been the prime focus of my research for the last decade, and it was an honour to co-lead this working group. What did we find?.... a 🧵

@Spacetrombone @CatieSlaughts This is one of my favourite stories from PhD 😂 I didn’t even think we looked that similar! 😅

@CatieSlaughts As a postdoc, we had an undergraduate open day for new students take place in the seminar room we have our lunches in, and I'm not sure which is worse: that someone assumed that one of the PhD students was a high schooler, or that they assumed I was her father!

Our new project is now live on the Zooniverse! Many thanks to @t_killestein and the rest of the @GOTOObservatory Citizen Science dev team for helping to make this happen! 🌟
Please give it a go and help us to find lots of exciting transients!
The Zooniverse@the_zooniverse
Today we're launching 🚀 Kilonova Seekers! ✨ zooniverse.org/projects/tkill…

Don’t forget to submit your abstract for our session on explosive and high energy transients! nam2023.org/science/parall…
NAM2023 - Cardiff@NAM2023_Cardiff
We are delighted to announce the session program for NAM2023 is now live - as is abstract submission. You have until 1300hrs (UTC) on Monday 24th April 2023 to submit your abstracts, to make the exciting science program come alive. Full details at nam2023.org (1/6)

Some supernovae are blue. Others are red. Be careful how you use them for cosmology! Another awesome piece of work by @supernova_lisa

The IOP is very concerned at the continued use of outdated stereotypes as we firmly believe #physics is for everyone regardless of their background or gender.

Girls shun physics A-level as they dislike ‘hard maths’ - some pretty astonishing comments here from government’s social mobility chief theguardian.com/education/2022…
English
10 years ago, a teacher at my sixth form suggested I do a Chemistry degree instead of Physics as it was the more “Feminine” science… it seems society hasn’t changed🙄
Dr Jess Wade liked it here once@jesswade
“Physics isn’t something that girls tend to fancy. They don’t want to do it. They don’t like it… There’s a lot of hard maths in there that they don’t want to do.” 🤦🏻♀️ @Miss_Snuffy, UK Government Social Mobility Commission Chair #WomenInSTEM parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/f1…
