In the coming days and weeks, the best ways to provide support will become apparent. Although I'm still new, I have felt welcomed and supported by this community, and I want to express my deepest sympathy for those impacted by this tragedy.

I never could have predicted how my first week at Carnegie would unfold. The Eaton fire destroyed structures 2.5 km away from the Pasadena offices. Soot falls like rain, and hazardous smoke fills every office. An incomprehensible number of people have lost everything.

This opens a whole new world for analysing the chemical evolution of external galaxies through their globular cluster populations 🔭🤩 Steph is a phenomenally talented scientist and I'm so excited to be part of this research 🥰.

This is important for studying stellar nucleosynthesis ⚛️ supernova yields 🌟 and neutron star merger rates ✨ in the early Universe. And it works for more than just the Milky Way 😮 Look how well it fits the chemical evolution models for the Sgr dwarf ♐️

🚨 GAME CHANGER PAPER ON ARXIV 🚨.The wonderful Steph Monty has discovered that globular clusters trace the chemical evolution of their host galaxy 🌌 Looking at the accreted stars in the Milky Way, the accreted globular follow the same track 🤯 ( a 🧵)

The AMP-UP program was *the* most helpful resource when I was applying for postdocs. I was so lucky to have Kaley as my mentor 🤩 I couldn’t have asked for a more patient, thoughtful and kind person to help me navigate the process 🥰 10/10 recommend ✨.
