Nora Shipp

Excited about near-field cosmology, Galactic dynamics, and @VRubinObs? Apply for a postdoc in my new group @uwastronomy! Please spread the word to interested applicants, reach out if you have questions, and/or come find me at AAS! Deadline: Jan 15 jobregister.aas.org/ad/82a47f8f

So excited to be selected for this impactful award, and looking forward to collaborating with amazing @norashipp and Charlotte Christensen 🥳

I am happy to announce the conference Galactic Frontiers II: Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Volume and Beyond, taking place at @dartmouth from June 23-25, 2025.  For more information and registration, please see our website: sites.dartmouth.edu/galactic-front…

Excited to share the release of my new code cogsworth (cogsworth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) that YOU can use to make seamlessly self-consistent population synthesis and galactic dynamics simulations! The paper is out on arXiv (arxiv.org/abs/2409.04543) but read on here for more details 🥳

It's been a long time coming... I'm super excited to announce the CCHP's local measurement of the Hubble constant via the JAGB method, a standard candle I have been developing during graduate school. We find H0 = 67.96 +/- 1.85 km/s/Mpc. arxiv.org/abs/2408.03474

Is this good or bad?

Are you applying to postdocs in astro this year? Join AMP-UP, our mentorship program, for help with your applications! Current prize postdocs fellows including myself will help edit proposals, brainstorm ideas, and more: aas.org/posts/news/202…

We are so excited for #EarthWeekxAstrobites2024 where we explore what we, as students of nature, can learn from Indigenous science and teachings to support our stewardship of Earth in the climate crisis. More info on the program at astrobites.org/earthweek2024. Stay tuned!

From @astrobites: The genocide in Gaza demands our attention and our action. As astronomers and members of the global scientific community, we cannot ignore the immense suffering and devastation inflicted upon our colleagues. astrobites.org/2024/03/27/ast…

Brown would rather arrest its own students than merely *consider* the prospect of divestment. Decades from now, they will talk about their “brave students” and their “culture of campus activism”. But first, they will turn the school into a prison.

For women in physics, specifically postdocs about to apply for faculty jobs, check out the Rising Stars in Physics Workshop, Sep 24-26 in NYC. Applications are open until Mar 29

I'm really excited my recent paper was accepted to ApJ! This has been the work of many years and many people, and one of the things I am most proud of during graduate school. Check it out here 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2402.18794

There is now a IAU draft resolution to rename the SMC and LMC to the Small Milky Cloud and Large Milky Cloud. It will be voted on this August in Cape Town, SA -- please read the draft resolution (led by Dr. Mia de los Reyes)! drive.google.com/file/d/1eU2ne4…

Please read this fantastic paper led by @davidjsetton on unpacking the physics of a quiescent galaxy at redshift 4 (I helped in the discovery and building up it's candidacy). David's detailed analysis conclusively shows a dead galaxy with a dusty core in the early Universe!

Our annual #GuerillaMentoring event is next week! Two 30min online sessions where mentees can ask BIPOC mentors about their career journey & personal experiences. Mentees sign up by ✨ this Friday ✨ to join! tinyurl.com/3297r6pd #BlackinSTEM #IndigenousinSTEM #LatinxinSTEM

.@alexanderpji gives a press conference on an ancient star with a ✨spectacular✨ composition! Appears to contain elements from a unique ancient supernova - from a very massive star that should’ve turned directly into a black hole #AAS243

Today we have released the major result for measurements of Dark Energy and Dark Matter using Type Ia Supernovae in the Dark Energy Survey (@theDESurvey)! We've been working towards this robust result for more than a decade arxiv.org/abs/2401.02929 arxiv.org/abs/2401.02945 a🧵

From Sahil Hegde (@sahil_hegde): Today’s article showcases Dr. Arianna Long (@astroarianna), one of the organizers of the Rainbow Village at @AAS_Office, a new gathering place for people of color in astronomy! astrobites.org/2023/12/11/rai…

I'm hiring a postdoc in my group (@MITKavli @MIT_Physics ), working on a combination of machine learning, Dark Matter, Gaia, and simulations. The due date is FRIDAY! Please forward to interested candidates! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25332

.@IndianEmbassyUS @IndiaVisaDC require urgent help! I am an Indian citizen; my wife's US passport was stolen (and her new Indian eVisa). She is traveling to India tom. and have a new passport-How can we get in touch with you asap (no one is picking phone) to transfer valid eVisa?
