My new paper is on arxiv! We surveyed ~110K stars and found a metallicity "cliff" in super-Earth formation. This one has been in the works for a while. Check it out here: arxiv.org/pdf/2407.13821
Huge thanks to my co-authors! @aussiastronomer @jonKzink @kevinkhu Rachel Fernandes, Ji Wang, @galen_bergsten @PFHopkins_Astro , @sakheebhure and Eve Lee

In Ep.94, we're turning up the heat and investigating what makes magma so important! Sabrina takes us to the poster child of strange lava worlds 55 Cnc e to end the long debate of whether it has an atmosphere. Then, Cormac tells us all about how water can play well with magma.
Yesterday, I successfully defended and can finally say that I am Dr. Kiersten Boley! I'm so thankful to everyone that helped me along the way! ❤️☺️😄

Hi everyone, unfortunately we found out our mom didn’t have life insurance and we need to pay out of pocket for the funeral and burial. If anyone would be able to help support us for her expenses we would appreciate it. Please share around. We need a minimum of $4300 in 1wk. 😢

In Ep. 85, we interviewed indigenous astronomers from around the world! We hear about their cultures from who their Elders are to how they used the constellations to harvest emu eggs. Thank you to @AstroKirsten, @KrystalDeNapoli, @astrojipjawej, @KimseyBridget, & @QuantumOfSalsa

Black physics & astronomy students are encouraged to apply for the #TEAMUPTogether Scholarship Program. This $10K award aims to reduce financial barriers that prevent Black students from attaining their undergraduate degrees. Apply here: teamuptogether.org/
I officially just submitted my first postdoc application! Send good vibes out for me so someone gives me a job!

My first first-author paper has been accepted for publication! We use a stacking analysis to quantify the total stellar mass and total star formation within Planck-selected galaxy protoclusters, including the contribution from faint, undetected galaxies. arxiv.org/abs/2308.00745
My newest paper is out on arXiv! “Fizzy Super-Earths: Impacts of Magma Composition on the Bulk Density and Structure of Lava Worlds” Below are a couple of our results. arxiv.org/abs/2307.13726
(2) We find three potential mantle structures: a mantle magma ocean, surface magma ocean, or what we are calling a MOSMO structure (magma ocean (MO) -solid rock (S)- magma ocean (MO))
(1) We find that USP lava worlds may be less dense or denser than their solid rock counterparts depending on their mass.

I’m excited to share our latest paper, “A comparison of the composition of planets in single- and multi-planet systems orbiting M-dwarfs”, now on arXiv! A thread!🧵arxiv.org/abs/2307.13034
