Really happy with the write-up in the @sydmorningherald.bsky.social of our work with JWST interferometry, with quotes from me, @spiralstar.bsky.social, and @gradientrider.bsky.social, and above all a great photoshoot with @maxecharles.bsky.social showing his tattoo of the instrument!

The extraordinary James Webb Space Telescope had a major problem before two young scientists unlocked its full potential.

Thoughts are with you and your family. I hope whatever comes next is awesome, and that your initiative, style and flair continues to contribute to innovation in optical astronomy.

Before fetching the pitchforks for this billionaire, at least he knows what science looks like (as opposed conspiracy word salad). Although major funding for Starshot never appeared, the same foundation is on track to spend $100M on Breakthrough Listen. Solid science at world leading Universities.

Just chiming in here to shamelessly attempt to hog full credit!. This was in a paper of mine form the nauties ... although to be fair I think it was Jamie Lloyd who insisted we make the subversive gambit to establish Splodge as the appropriate technical term ...
