Still in awe that I got to lead the Young Supernova Experiment First Data Release, an immense multi-institutional effort from ~100 scientists over 2.5 years! This data will help usher in the next age of supernova science💥 @NCSAatIllinois @AstroIllinois ncsa.illinois.edu/caps-ncsa-…

Thank you to my advisor Gautham (@gsnarayan) for his guidance and expertise, and encouraging me every step of the way. And, a big thank you to my friends and close collaborators on this work: Kostya (@hombit), Sammy (@Bassoon1516), Alex (@alexgagliano), and my YSE co-workers!

Thanks Simon- it was a pleasure collaborating with you on this project!
New paper led by @PatrickAleo on using clustering algorithms to create physically meaningful cinematic visualizations of astrophysical data. tl;dr Pat has created a pipeline so that you too can create awesome and informative visualizations of data at home. Also, #PrettyPictures

.@WayneBrady posted this ‘Whose Line’ clip to his TikTok account. An improv bit turns into a great example of systemic racism. Also, @aishatyler is such an underrated host.
