There were some rate limit errors during my #migration to the home of #astrodon & I lost ~25% of my followers, so I'm reposting an #introduction in the hopes they find their way back to me!

I'm Erin! An astrophysicist that studies atmospheres of planets outside our solar system (#exoplanets) using telescopes & climate models 🪐 🔭

When I'm not working on #JWST data, I'm #knitting, #reading, watching Star Trek, or making #stickers

I also love to share #science with others! #SpaceTalkTuesday 🖖

#introduction

I'm a #PatentAttorney in #Scotland UK. I joined the profession when #academia started to look less fun, and I've never looked back.

When academia was more fun, I got a #phd in #astrophysics, working on the development of detectors for #GravitationalWaves. That was a good time for a #nerd. I spent a year on some postdoctoral research before I left.

I also like #books #crafting #games #wine #films #cookery #puzzles etc. Hello!

Hi, #astrodon -- figured I should do an #introduction since that seems to be the etiquette!

I'm currently in the middle of my PhD in #astronomy and #astrophysics at the University of Chicago. My interests lie in #galaxy evolution and #cosmology with a specific focus on the physical processes that regulate star formation in the smallest dwarf galaxies. ✨

Please remember to add text descriptions to images, audio and video posts, to make them accessible to blind and deaf users.

You can add descriptions to an attachment by clicking "Edit" on the website, or by typing directly on top of the attachment on the official app.

Describe both visuals and audio (if present).

Also, use CamelCase on hashtags (where the first letter of every word is capitalised). This allows screen readers to say each word aloud correctly.

Any #ttrpg folks running a game based on the #cypher system?

Boosts appreciated from people in this space. I'm looking for people to follow on this topic.
