Do not do science. Instead, make a model of how science is done, put it in a likelihood function, and marginalize over it. 🔭🧪

As a graduation present, I give my PhD students posters based on their research. I have a few examples shown here (Dr. Pa Chia Thao and Dr. Reilly Milburn). These are done by PhD student and artist Isabel Lopez Murillo: analopezmurillo.github.io 🧪🔭⭐🎨

When you ask me to serve on a review panel, and aren't willing to cover the cost of childcare, you are asking me to pay money out of pocket to do you a service. 🧪🔭 This is why I rarely serve on review panels.

I just learned about Baader-Meinhof phenomenon and now I’m seeing it everywhere.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

For those who missed it at Cool Stars 23 I want to highlight some really awesome posters from my students. Really creative design and awesome science. 🧪🔭⭐ #exoplanets

Why paying peer reviewers works, according to a journal’s editor-in-chief

A biology journal that paid peer reviewers found that the approach cut the time to a first editorial decision by 85% and maintained high-quality reviews.

Hello! We have a very-off-cycle postdoc fellowship at UC Santa Cruz. Open to any area of Astronomy and Astrophysics. Applications are due July 15th. It is funded by the Moore Foundation. Looking for someone to start Oct 1, 2026 (!, approx), see details below. aas.org/jobregister/...

My students' talks at #Coolstars23 were so good they caused an earthquake!! If you are there, stop by posters by Madyson Barber, Isabel Lopez Murillo, and Andy Boyle. All are excellent and have really novel designs. 🔭🧪

We're hiring! The NASA Exoplanet Archive at @caltechipac.bsky.social is hiring a staff scientist as we prep for Roman and Gaia. The role is a mix of programmatic support and independent research in my fabulous team in sunny SoCal at Caltech! Due July 10, 2026 - ask me anything! #jobs #exoplanets
