New astrobite! I couldn't resist writing about some of the exciting (extra)galactic center science from jwst, it's just so cool that these kinds of observations exist now 🤩.

My latest astrobite is up! I may not really understand turbulence in the interstellar medium, but I sure do enjoy reading and writing about it 😵💫.
From @perryhelion: Something is stirring up chaos on galactic scales. The authors of today’s papers investigate just what’s needed to recreate the turbulence seen in the interstellar medium.

Yesterday, I successfully defended my dissertation and became Dr. H! I'm so so grateful for everyone who has supported me over the last 6 years, most of all my incredible advisor @battersbot who guided me the whole way with unparalleled expertise and compassion

New astrobite day! A different sort of bite this time. Part of an upcoming series diving into how astronomy research produces a LOT of greenhouse gas emissions, HPC usage (yikes) and international conferences in particular. There are ways we can fix these problems as a community!.
From @perryhelion: How do astronomers contribute disproportionately to climate change?

My latest astrobite is posted today! Check out some amazing visualizations of the 3D dust mapping that is apparently possible with Gaia data and Gaussian processes 🤯.
From @perryhelion: 3D dust mapping in the era of Gaia reveals explosive origin of some of your favorite molecular clouds!
