On 9/11 Arabs and anyone who looked Muslim realized how alone were. We couldn't come together with you and just mourn because the world turned against us and forced us to explain ourselves for something we didn't even understand. That's what 9/11 was like for us thanks for asking

Ever wondered how a movie of a black hole shadow could look like? Say no more: here are some *simulations* of SgrA*, top row are various models (non-rotating and rotating), bottom row those models blurred with the @ehtelescope resolution. Movie shows 5 hours of Earth time pic.twitter.com/2hQVzSdR8P

I cannot stress how incredible this is. They detected the tiniest bit of starlight that came from the star and then passed through the planet’s atmosphere on its way to us; then managed to detect the tiny bit in the light that was absorbed by the water in that atmosphere🤯#k218b https://t.co/L0RlI4Vxqs

Do yourself a favour: don't compare your achievements to those of other grad students.

Everybody's PhD is different: your field, advisor, personal situation, and health can all dramatically change your experience.
Only compete with yourself.

Radical idea: pubs with very soft music and noise dampening so that people with hearing loss don't feel left out and stressed because they can't hear

1. Expressing faith in abilities.
2. Volunteering to remove structural obstacles.
3. Offering specific advice only after waiting for independent problem solving.
4. Praise and celebration. https://t.co/XARNLj1h7K

Hi y'all, have a crowd-sourcing effort I'd like help with: compiling admissions fees of every grad astronomy/physics program in US/Canada. If you know where to find this info for your program, please response to this tweet with fee value + URL w/ that info, if possible. Thanks!

No. Not even remotely Earth 2.0. It's 8 earth masses and has a massive hydrogen/helium atmosphere. It's a warm Neptune. https://t.co/SnnoBnbL9G

Make the men take parental leave, even if their partner isn't a scientist.
How many women are expected to take time out of their research for childcare whilst men can just rely on their SO?
I call 🐮 💩 @AcademicChatter #phdchat
why do they call it stellar astrophysics and not the HR department

hey astronomers! I see a lot of you tweeting about the K2-18b results. This is a super exciting detection, but as many of you have pointed out, the "habitability" of this planet is being exaggerated in the press

Here's my best fit (ICRF, barycentric) to the CNEOS astrometry for potential interstellar #gb00234

Conservatively assuming 1 arcsec astrometric uncertainty and dropping the really bad points, eccentricity is 1.07180496 +/- 0.00087880
That's definitely hyperbolic. More coming pic.twitter.com/kxVPqMpd6J
in college we learn HUNDREDS of years of physics (/STEM) in 4–5 yrs. not only are you learning how to think, you’re learning literal centuries worth of material. you’re not supposed to be perfect at it. you’re not supposed to “master” it right away. give yourself time.
