My very first PhD student just passed her defense - Congrats Dr. Kiana Burton! 🎉 Feels pretty surreal to have graduated my own student. Guess I'm a real professor now! 🙃

Save the Date! We’re hosting a community workshop May 5-7, 2025 at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington, DC to discuss the future of infrared astrophysics and synergies across the spectrum going into the next decadal survey.

Annual request to please respond with any post-bacc positions in astronomy you know of! Grad admissions was rough this year, and there are lots of awesome undergrads now looking for research positions to help prepare them to apply again.

The weather was looking better so we made a last minute decision to head to my in-laws in Ohio and hope to catch totality. Our pup is trying out the eclipse glasses to make sure we’re ready for the big event! 😎

Then I’m sticking around for another few days at JPL to work on ESPEX - the Early Star and Planet Evolution Explorer. Wish that TESS had multiple simultaneous bands and small enough pixels to look at young clusters? Have I got the SMEX mission for you! 🚀🔭⭐️

Check out our new paper! This was fun to be a part of. You never know when you’re going to find a huge stellar flare in your data 🤪 www.cfa.harvard.edu/news/extreme...
