Hello #astrodon! I feel like I just walked into a party, and I don’t know anyone. So here’s my #introduction: I’m an astronomer at UC Santa Cruz where I’m growing an astrobiology program and studying exoplanet demographics using data from Kepler, TESS, Keck, and JWST.
@nbatalha Welcome astro from beautiful Santa Cruz! You may find local communities with common interests at some of the science oriented servers (you can have more than one). I personally like qoto.org (robust server and very active), fediscience.com (verified published scientists), and mathstodon.xyz (all manner of math nerds).
