Hi bluesky astronomers! I have a big announcement: I am finishing up my postdoc at U. Arizona and will be starting a new position at the Space Telescope Science Institute as a software engineer next month! I'm really excited for this new career shift and can't wait to live in Baltimore!!

Space Drafts #103 is happening tonight (1/21) at 7:30p Tucson time at Borderlands Brewing Downtown and bit.ly/SpaceDrafts103. @whatamergerjr.bsky.social will be pulling back the curtain on radio telescopes and Meredith Stone will give us a crash course on the last century of extragalactic astronomy!

The "No Math, Just Vibes" version of the passage of time for me is:
1984 = 26 yrs ago
1992 = 15 yrs ago
2000 = 10 yrs ago
2008 = 5 yrs ago
2016 = Also 5 yrs ago
2020 = Last Year
2021 = Also Last Year
2022 = The Present
2023 = 1 or 2 years from now
2024 = Next Year
2025 = The distant future
1984 = 26 yrs ago
1992 = 15 yrs ago
2000 = 10 yrs ago
2008 = 5 yrs ago
2016 = Also 5 yrs ago
2020 = Last Year
2021 = Also Last Year
2022 = The Present
2023 = 1 or 2 years from now
2024 = Next Year
2025 = The distant future
It’s hard to believe 1984 was almost twenty years ago now

My article for @theconversationus.bsky.social is out today! I had a lot of fun explaining protoclusters as little cities 🤓
Powerful black holes might grow up in bustling galactic neighborhoods
An astronomer and ‘black hole historian’ explains how the parts of the universe black holes grow in might influence how quickly they become bright, supermassive objects.

Has the field decided if we use this place for self promotion? Idk the new rules man but check out my latest submitted paper 🫠 we think we found the highest-z heavily obscured radio-loud QSO candidate via cosmos-web
