    So honored to have represented at OSU commencement today where and gave impactful speeches on being agents of change and on being our best selves.

    The fun result from when an exoplaneteer and a supernova person (me) join forces to work on our middle ground, M-dwarf flares, using !

    Congrats to with their first beautiful images!! This figure compares the first-light image of eROSITA to the first-light image of XMM-Newton. Much larger field of view, improved effective area, and it is going to do the whole sky! Yay, all of the science!

    This work was partly motivated by the recent paper by Miller et al. 2019 () who found that PGRE scores best correlate with the demographics of the test-takers and not their success in PhD programs.

    Fractional change in the applicant pools of the 19 programs since 2016, compared to 35% increase in astronomy bachelors attainment (solid black lines).

    I requested data from 27 astronomy PhD programs on their applicant pool demographics from 2016-2019 and when/if they removed their physics GRE requirement. 19 have responded so far, and here are the primary takeaways and plots. If your program hasn't sent data yet, please do!

    In the process of collecting applicant pool demographic data from astronomy PhD programs for Inclusive Astro 2. Here's a preliminary plot on total applicants from 10 programs. Solid lines require PGRE, dashed lines do not. Dramatic increases in numbers once PGRE is not required.

    About halfway done collecting application fee info for physics/astro graduate programs, so I think I have enough data to show the following plot: the typical total cost for applying to grad school is $732 for domestic students ($757 intl.). This does not include transcript fees.

    On K2-18b. The mouseover is great, too: "Fire is actually a potential biosignature, since it means something is filling the atmosphere with... oxygen. If we find a planet covered in flames, it might be an indicator that it supports life. Or used to, anyway, before the fire."

    For students applying to PhD programs: the Big Ten Academic Alliance offers fee waivers for diverse students to 15 schools. Just fill out a form indicating the schools and departments to which you want to apply. I recommend :-D

    Today, after a nearly four year journey, The Lynx Team signed off on our Concept Study Report. will make our report public on Friday, and it will be available for download at .

    Check out the great paper led by who analyzed *one third* (96) of all the supernova remnants in the Milky Way and showed that they get increasingly asymmetric with size/age as they expand into the ISM!

    A chemist asked what embarrassing thing we couldn't model yet about supernovae; I said it's hard to get them to explode.😁 I asked the same about his field; he said models are wrong about the freezing point of water by 20 C.😲 So many outstanding questions in science yet, folks!

    Rejection is common in academia, so keep persevering! To make this point, I present my list of rejections thus far in my career: -8 grad schools -3 grad fellowships -16 postdocs -9 faculty jobs -35 observing proposals -6 grant proposals -8 natl awards -there's probably way more

    eROSITA launched today! The German/Russian X-ray telescope will map the entire sky, the first ever in hard X-rays & 25x ROSAT sensitivity in soft X-rays. It will detect 100K galaxy clusters, 3M supermassive black holes (AGN), and 700K Milky Way stars! Congrats !!

    Goodbye, ! The sense of community & support was SO invaluable. The talks by of on communicating credibility and by of on developing our social media voices were especially powerful. Excited to meet again!
