At @UNSWScience we have been investigating the tar balls that washed up on Coogee and other Sydney beaches.
What do we know (and not know!) so far?
Here comes our thread!

@FiPanther Someone today offered to write me a wikipedia page, if I paid them... Clearly many ways to monetize stuff we normally do for free!

People are also forking out for copyediting? I do this stuff for free for people all the time? This is insane

I am reviewing some grant applications and I just discovered that outside of physical sciences (and sometimes inside it?) people... pay? other people? to visualize their data?
Please pay me to do your datavis. Making nice plots is my favourite part of science.

@DrEmmaLJohnston Congratulations! They are lucky to have you!

As a proud alum of the University of Melbourne, it is a great privilege to be appointed as the University’s next Vice-Chancellor. I look forward to building on the work of Professor Maskell and his leadership team when I commence in February next year. 1/2

If you'd like to know more about one of the next generation optical telescopes that astronomers will use, the Extremely Large Telescope under construction in Chile, this is a rather lovely podcast about it abc.net.au/listen/program…

I'm sure the contributions would also be substantial in Australia but that feels largely unseen by the community.

For two years, the NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope has provided us with breathtaking views of the universe and groundbreaking scientific results.
Today, Webb has us asking: what came first the penguin or the egg?
The telescope has captured a duo of interacting galaxies known as Arp 142, the Penguin (NGC 2936) and the Egg (NGC 2937) that are slowly merging into a single galaxy.

If you are at #EAS2024, please drop by SS17c: Light Beyond Galaxies: Chasing the Intra-Cluster Light session on July 4.
My student, Shuo Xu, will discuss how a generalized concept of ICL can help paint a more complete picture of the galaxy-halo connection for massive galaxies.

Great team looking at the fascinating intracluster light with the Euclid telescope!

A really important conversation about the impacts of low orbit satellites on radio astronomy with the SKA. Unfortunately, the satellites also have an impact on optical astronomy.

Professors - talk to students at conferences and events. Not everyone can just walk up and start a conversation. You have status, and it can be intimidating. Create balance. Smile. Introduce yourself. Ask them about their research.

Some nice results from our SAMI Galaxy Survey research

1/2 Galaxies become more chaotic as they age, according to new research from @ARC_ASTRO3D. The study, involving @UNSW researchers, found that the randomness of star motion within galaxies is mostly driven by the age of a galaxy, not its environment or mass as previously thought.

So good to see this being discussed publicly. Thanks in particular to Celine!

#SMP2024 day 2 photos. Getting the opportunity to meet and discuss STEM with @PeterKhalilMP and managing to gather (nearly all) the astronomers together. Thanks to @ScienceAU for organizing!

Last week I had the privilege of representing the Australian astronomy community on the Council of the intergovernmental @ESO in Germany. I also got to take a selfie with a model of the amazing Extremely Large Telescope under construction in Chile @AstroAustralia @UNSWScience
