Bluesky is both the sports app and the Catholic schism app, everything you’d need in one place

Glad to share my first publication in graduate school is now out on the arXiv. Stoked that I got the top billing on astro-ph.ep too haha.

While I am fairly certain that I want to do a PhD, I am wholly uncertain of what exactly to pursue. I do believe that choosing what problem to work on is just as important as the problem itself. "If what you are working on doesn't seem important to you, why are you working on it?"

Out of the Platonian writing cave. Phew.

I mean this very, very respectfully. Fuck your gas prices, my people are dying.

Haven't been here because I have been in a Plato-like writing cave. Writing is hard. Went to the Ariel Open Conference 26! 1) Herschel Telescope Model at Caroline+William Herschel's house 2) The Salisbury Cathedral. I saw the Magna Carta! 3) Me giving my talk 4) Me at Stonehenge on the Equinox.

One of my better pieces. Humbled by the kindness I have received on this.

For those, like me, who were baffled as to what exactly this view was of, continent-wise 😆 A whole other world view, literally.

Aiming to get better at explaining my science, man. I'm fine coding it, writing it, talking about it, but presenting it in front of ~100 people is where I'm messing up right now. Going to put myself in situations where I have to improve.

I am finishing up The Wretched of the Earth and starting Edward Said's The Question of Palestine. I hope to write up a big ass review of both when I'm done.

I was in Morocco last week and here are a few of my favorite clicks. Getaway, Ramadan in a Muslim country, history nerd, cultural geeking out. It was a good reset. Now back to Science.

Kind of at a crossroads about what subfield to chase next for grad school. I do Bayesian Modelling stuff now, with that project coming to a (hopefully fruitful) end but I'm not quite sure about what's next. Maybe combine with Observational Phase Curve stuff? I know I don't want to do EPRV (1/N)

Hello! Introductory post. I'm Wasi, a first year Masters student at McGill in Exoplanetary Atmospheres. Right now, I'm working on ESA's Ariel mission. Here,I plan to geek out on history, books I'm reading, and random stuff I find interesting, i.e these pictures from a museum I went to last week!

Just logged back into this after a year. A lot has happened lol. I am now a graduate student in exoplanetary astrophysics.
