Self-plug - If you'd like to have press release images for your papers, keep me in mind for commissioning! I'm happy to work with you to create a bespoke visualisation of your work. Here are some of the artworks I've created that have been featured on Washington Post, BBC, NYT and more. 🐡🧪🔭

A visualisation of GRB 221009A - the brightest gamma ray burst ever observed.
A visualisation of the post-merger aftermath of a compact binary merger. Shown are the red and blue kilonovae components and the emittef short duration gamma ray burst.

Well, that’s the training finished for this year’s #LettersToAPreScientist. Looking forward to seeing if I get matched up again. Huge kudos to the team for providing training and resources for pen-pal safeguarding this year. Really valuable work!

Hello Bluesky! I am am astrophysicist at University of Exeter, currently working on light pollution and stellar characterisation. The Bad Place is getting super hostile, so thanks to Mike Daniels for the invite code, and @emily.space for acting as broker. The air is so much fresher up here! 😀
