It's application season. In just a couple years I went from a near total rejection rate to a 100% success rate for everything I've applied for. In addition to luck + timing, one of the biggest changes I made came from letters of recommendation. Let me show you how. 🧵

Excited to share our latest led by the great Anna Yu @AstroBananna - Born this way: thin disc, thick disc, & isotropic spheroid formation in FIRE2 MW simulations stars w disc-like or spheroid-like orbits today were born that way @alexbgurvich @ZachHafen arxiv.org/abs/2210.03845

Fun impromptu lunch with some group members today. After all the remote work, appreciate the in-person randomness so much

It's paper day. We employ a cosmological simulation (FIREbox) to re-create numerical analogues of the two observed dark-matter deficient galaxies. Published today @NatureAstronomy nature.com/articles/s4155… arxiv.org/abs/2202.05836

Press release: @UCIPhysAstro scientists discover how galaxies can exist without dark matter — something once thought impossible. From @jorgito__moreno @jbprime @AstronoMerc_ @DarthLazar @astro_klein and others. ps.uci.edu/news/2586

So excited its finally out. We conducted a high-cadence survey of the Galactic Plane with @ztfsurvey, i.e. together with @Janvanroestel, @ebellm and many others we took continuous observations for a few hrs covering regions with the highest stellar density arxiv.org/abs/2105.02758

It's paper day🙌!! Our new paper (w/ @jbprime, @astro_klein, Jonathan Stern, and collaborators) finds this interesting connection between the early time bursty star formation and the formation of the galactic thick disk: arxiv.org/abs/2103.03888

Astronomer denizens of twitter! Have you done an observing run in the last 3-6 months? Catch any unwelcome satellite trails? Please get in touch and help me (1) make an image gallery for an #aas237 poster and (2) start an open data repository of satellite photobombs

my cutting edge political analysis: Biden transited in New Hampshire and it looks like the secondary eclipse was in Nevada. model looks a little iffy so we definitely need some independent follow up

#UCIPhysAstro professor Tim Tait cautions about comparing physicists to others when writing letters of recommendation, as it can adversely affect the candidate as well as disfavor women and underrepresented minorities, in this new piece for Physics Today: buff.ly/3inw8d7

So last night I sat down to see about taking the General GRE and Physics GRE, a process that many prospective grad students will have to tackle in the coming months. Here's what I learned...


Awesome work/life balance or procrastination for studying for Monday's midterm? Either way whale watching was incredible! (PC: Delaney Trowbridge @seataceans)

Moderating a panel on astronomy research and sitting on a panel about grad school apps. Doing cool science things #CUWiP
