paper day! 🥳 we tried @astrobites lesson plans with a bunch of students to see how it affected them (hint: it was good!) students felt better about reading research literature afterwards, plus lots of other positive effects as described in our paper: arxiv.org/abs/2309.05822

And with a day of MHD, it's a wrap on the @FlatironCCA Fluids summer school! Most of the course materials are collected here (we'll add links to the recordings later): users.flatironinstitute.org/~parmitage/Flu… Thanks to the students, lecturers, and awesome CCA staff for a stimulating school.

Today marks 5 years since I was diagnosed with cancer (and 2.721 years since the end of chemo). It all feels so surreal… were there really multiple months of my life where I looked like an egg?

Thanks to our members for attending our first town hall of the year! We started with an ice breaker of "if you were a photon on the electromagnetic spectrum, where would you be?" and Astrobiter, @MarkPopinchalk plotted it here!

I don't know who needs to hear this ... wait, you all need to hear this .. but ... for those of us which are sadly not attending (even online) for most of #AAS241 ... you should follow @astrobites which are doing a superb job at covering all the talks, panels, presentations.
