I sadly just saw the announcement that #astrodon will be shut down. 😞
So either I/we migrate to another server or… yeah. What are we thinking?
I‘ve always appreciated all the interactions I got here. It felt less like a bubble (even though I am sure it still is 😆).
Where else are you guys? Where would you be interested to hear about #space/ #astronomy stuff?

Okay, I need your help!
I am finalising my PhD thesis at the moment, and it is "tradition" to have a quote at the beginning of each chapter. Now I want to be difficult: I want quotes from FEMALE astronomers / scientists talking about astronomy.
Shoot me your favourites pls 🙏🏻

My brain did a backflip yesterday.
We were at an Italian restaurant in Sweden. My partner and I speak English to each other. The waitress brought the food and said: ”Bon appétit!”
Me: ”Danke.” ☠️
I am very proud that I speak ~6 languages, but sometimes my brain gets confused 😂

Today's in Bibi's life:
1. mistake: Let's **quickly** simulate what this is going to look like.
Note to self: It's never quick.
2. mistake: Let's assume the planet transits for an entire orbital period. Oh and 10000 exposures so the code is super slow.
Note to self: ... smartass.

It's a bit more complicated here. The teaching language is either Swedish or English -- depending on the course. However, it is not required from a PhD student, researcher, and sometimes even higher to speak Swedish. Nonetheless, some boards operate fully in Swedish and if you've been invited to present something there, they just assume you speak Swedish too. In my particular case it is even more ironic, because I was invited to join as a representative of the diversity, equity and inclusion committee. :D

Good morning #astronomy friends! December 3 comes with a slight delay… but here she is! Jocelyn Bell Burnell!
Did you know Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered the first pulsar as a PhD student in 1967? ✨
This groundbreaking find reshaped astronomy, even though the Nobel Prize went to her supervisor. Today, she’s celebrated for her work and her dedication to equity in physics, funding scholarships for underrepresented groups.

Hello #astronomy friends! Another day, another trailblazing women in astronomy!
December 2 - Vera Rubin ✨
Ever wondered how we know dark matter exists? Vera Rubin illuminated the invisible universe (kind of)! ✨🔭
Her groundbreaking work on galaxy rotation uncovered the evidence we needed to show that dark matter exists. She also blazed trails for women in science, overcoming barriers and inspiring future generations.

As part of a #science #communication course I am currently taking, we have to watch three #TED talks of our choice.
It's less about the content, but more about the way the speakers communicated.
I came across this wonderful TED talk by Andrea Hernandez about 'the invisible difference of a first generation college student'.
If you can spare 13 minutes of your day, I invite you to watch the talk on YouTube. It made me cry.

For me it‘s mostly my academic network on Bluesky to be honest. My fellow professional astronomers seem to have migrated to there as far as I can tell.

To all #astronomy lovers,
The Leonid #meteor shower peaks this weekend, best viewed after midnight until dawn. They will radiate from the constellation Leo, but can appear anywhere! The moon might outshine some of the faint ones.
 The #Leonids are caused by Earth passing through debris left behind by Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. It orbits the Sun every ~33 years, leaving a trail of dust and particles. When the particles enter our atmosphere, they burn up and create bright streaks in the sky.

Hello world,
I am coming to ask for #advice for #shampoo and #conditioner. Google did not help.
I am using the #tofu shampoo and #power conditioner from #lush atm and I love it, it‘s perfect. But it‘s just too expensive for me… :(
I wonder if anyone has #tips for similar shampoos/conditioners to try.
About my #hair: it‘s #wavy, very #thin, dries very quickly, prone to #frizz. I wash it basically every day because it gets greasy quickly. So I want smth not so aggressive 🤗
Any tips? 🥹
