And lastly, 100 years of January to July temperature anomalies over land areas through 2023. Watch until the end...

Data from https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/.

I was the victim of an extremely clever card fraud/social engineering hack.

Well, partly a victim since I managed to stop it.

Want to know what my research is about? Follow this thread 🧵 based on a 10min talk I've drawn for a meeting.

The talk was aimed at non-specialist space science colleagues (not the general public!). The slides were built up step by step, but I'm omitting this here & showing only the final graphs, less this becomes a 34-part thread. 11 is plenty enough!

So: "Understanding Winds of Massive Stars Using High Mass X-ray Binaries"
