Very excited to kick off our workshop at @esivienna.bsky.social on "Putting the cosmic large-scale structure on the map" today. Looking forward to a week of discussions around extracting the maximum of cosmological information from astronomical observations. Amazing support by the ESI team. Thanks!
We had an exciting kick-off workshop for my team working on the cosmic large scale structure at Bielefeld University, where I brought my @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant. The new GrACe center and our facilitator Helena Ernst supported us to exchange our views and ideas to estbalish good collaboration!
Kudos to arXiv!
The European Astronomical Society has awarded the 2025 Jocelyn Bell Burnell Inspiration Medal to arXiv "for its impact on astrophysical research thanks to the open, free and world-wide distribution of scientific articles".
This is slightly ahead of the official announcement, but:
⚡CONFERENCE ALERT⚡
Don't miss out on Cosmology from Home 2025!
The dates have been fixed at 16 June – 27 June. Check out our confirmed plenary speakers (and register!) at cosmologyfromhome.com!
Fabulous, thank you!
I am looking for a PhD student to work on beyond 2-point statistics for galaxy clustering & weak lensing as part of my Grant "Probing cosmic large-scale structure beyond the average" Details: uni-bielefeld.hr4you.org/job/view/417... Please share in your networks and encourage candidates to apply!
#ICYMI, #ESAEuclid dropped its first batch of survey data, including a preview of its very own deep fields! 🤩
This video walks you through some of the hidden treasures the #DarkUniverse detective 🕵️ has uncovered. And this is still just the beginning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXCB...

Teaching General Relativity this semester seems to make me a Theoretical Physicist rather than a Cosmologist. Also, Physicist seems to be the only end point reached by two arrows?!
I am excited to say that I will start my ERC Starting Grant “Probing cosmic large-scale structure beyond the average” and a professorship at Bielefeld University in March 2024. I am hiring 2 postdocs to join my group in autumn 2024 - learn more on my webpage cosmocora.de and please share it!
🔊Calling early career researchers from underrepresented backgrounds. The Royal Society has announced new 4yr fellowships. The 1st yr pilot invites applications from researchers (Phd with <24 mo postdoc experience) with Black heritage. Deadline 24thJan. 🧪👩🏾🔬🔭

Congrats to our very own Samuel Ward whose lecture has been shortlisted for the SAgE PGR Insights public lecture here at @newcastleuni.bsky.social! You can vote to see Samuel's lecture 'An Extragalactic Murder Mystery: Can Black Holes Kill Galaxies?' here: www.ncl.ac.uk/events/notic...
I am not sure bibliometrics are tensors given they seem to depend on the coordinate system (aka inspire vs Google scholar)?
My linocut portrait of Caroline Herschel in kerchief with an image of the night sky with a comet behind her and 5 inset round diagrams with her observations of a comet. She is in grey ink and the rest in dark blue.
For the #Spacetober prompt nebula it’s my portrait of the scientific Cinderella, who escaped a life of domestic drudgery to become astronomer Caroline Herschel (1750-1848)! 🐡🧪🧑🏼🔬#histsci She discovered 11 nebulae (2 of which turned out to be galaxies) which were previously unknown! 🧵1/2
Excited to see our @astro-obs-ncl.bsky.social research group at @newcastleuni.bsky.social here 💡
