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 πͺ π
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 π
