@lisacommunity.bsky.socialHad a great event yesterday in Coeur d'Alene, hosted by Spacepoint and North Idaho College XLabs. Afternoon Gravitational Wave Hackday, and public lecture about @lisacommunity.bsky.social after that. Answering questions for almost 2 hours after! Thanks to everyone who made this awesome event happen.

Show PostHappy #BlackHoleWeek! 🖤 My black hole chonk chart is back, now with real LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data ✨ More gravitational-wave detections are on the way, so this chart may need another update very soon. 😎 #BlackHoles #GravitationalWaves #SciComm @ligo.org @egovirgo.bsky.social
Show PostJust a snippet of the seminar I gave at Cardiff Uni! ✨ Great to see some of my colleagues and friends face-to-face again. Massive stars are very cool, and I use black holes to study them 😎 #Astrophysics #Postdoclife
