@astroshishir.bsky.socialThesis successfully defended!!
Show PostHuge congratulations to @astroshashank.bsky.social defending his fantastic thesis at UQ - it has been a huge privilege to work with him! Maths (analytic interferometry, transits), observational exoplanets (more on this!) and engineering (more soon!) - he's covered everything equally well!
Show PostIt's worse than that.. this act (which seems dumb enough to become law in certain states) would require public universities to PUBLISH standardized test scores for every faculty member **and applicant**! civicsalliance.org/faculty-meri...
Show PostDon't bring astro/physicists into this. We know standardized tests aren't the best measure of academic research potential, and we have the receipts. www.astrobetter.com/blog/2015/12...
