Congratulations to CIERA Postdoc Sylvia Biscoveanu on receiving the GWIC-Braccini Thesis Prize! The award recognizes her Ph.D. thesis work, completed at MIT, as a significant contribution to the growing field of gravitational-wave astronomy

Postdoc Sylvia Biscoveanu wins GWIC-Braccini Thesis Prize

In late February 2025, the Gravitational Wave International Committee (GWIC) and the Friends of Stefano Braccini announced CIERA Postdoctoral Researcher Sylvia Biscoveanu as the recipient of the 2023 ...

Looking for input on undergraduate paper authorship in astro: I am writing a paper with an undergrad (just the two of us). They’ve performed the full analysis (with significant help and guidance), but I expect final written version of the paper will be mostly my words.

To accompany all those BlueSky science/academia #starterpacks, let’s share introductions to the literature of our fields Gravitational-wave papers (created with observablehq.com/@guillaume-l...) When the intro starts "We have opened a new window" you know you can skip a couple of paragraphs

Most scientific papers in xkcd comic style, with titles: We did. We detected gravitational waves! 2000 people worked for 3 years on this and you're just going to read Section D5 and look at plots We calculated these pN equations so you don't have to Binaries stars: Even more complicated We know you're tired of citing Abbott et al. Here's an Abac et al This will be great if we build it in 2050 We thought of a new way Einstein could be wrong. The data say he isn't. Yet Upper limits are neat: We looked really hard and still haven't found anything We hid the quantum uncertainty down the back of the sofa and improved detector performance Something exploded and we all saw it! Isn't multi messenger astronomy fun (paper 1 of 49) Some thoughts on what even is a black hole really? Glitches: caused by dark magic?

To accompany all those BlueSky science/academia #starterpacks, let’s share introductions to the literature of our fields. Here’s the #RadioAstronomy one (credit NRAO, and also inspired by @xkcd.com). The one about Kevin is particularly on point.

Here's the beginning of starter pack for people and groups working on the theory, detection, or analysis of gravitational waves, or whose work is closely related to the field of gravitational waves. Please let me know who I've missed and I'll add them. go.bsky.app/HrAJX35
