Deadline for EAS abstract submission is tomorrow (3rd March)!
Final talk done! Had a great first day at the AGN & Energy Flows workshop at Flatiron, with Dr Samuel Ward starting us off ⚡️
Another talk down ✨
Visited the CfA Harvard today
Great visit to Princeton University today, now onto Boston!
Visiting the US east coast to attend the AGN & Energy Flows Workshop next week at the @flatironinstitute.org New York! 🗽
I'll also be visiting @princeton.edu, the CfA @harvard.edu, and @columbiauniversity.bsky.social to give seminars - let me know if anyone is around and wants to chat about AGN! ✨
Abstract submission for EAS 2026 is now open!
Myself and Emmanuel Bempong-Manful are chairing a session on AGN in large sky radio surveys ✨📡

Had a great week helping out at the VLT Beyond 2030 conference @eso.org ✨
Also two seminars at ESO and MPA @maxplanck.de 🪐
Panels showing the JWST, radio, and SINFONI images for four local AGN, showing all three wavelength maps are co-spatial.
Dust temperature versus bolometric luminosity for four local AGN, demonstrating illumination by the AGN alone cannot reproduced the observed dust temperatures.
Great paper on arXiv today by @astro-obs-ncl.bsky.social PhD student Houda Haidar! ✨
Using #JWST data, she finds a strong morphological link between the warm dust, radio, and coronal [SiVI] emission (tracing shocks), implying shocks heating the dust ⚡️

Saving the best till last obviously…
All 4 weeks are meetings! 🫠

Poster outlining title and date of the Caroline Herschel Prize Lecture: Unveiling the secrets behind supermassive black holes by Dr Vicky Fawcett
Excited and honoured to be giving the Caroline Herschel Prize Lecture on Thursday 20th November at the @uniofbath.bsky.social and online 🔭
I will be talking about all things supermassive black holes and quasars! 🌌

Had a great time visiting @unisouthampton.bsky.social, presenting my latest work on outflows in DESI QSOs ✨
Now on to Portsmouth!
That's a wrap on another great #STEMFest in Newcastle!
It was a great event, talking to thousands of primary, secondary, and sixth form students about space! 🚀
It's been a busy #WorldSpaceWeek, speaking to students, giving a school talk, and being part of Meet a Scientist with Dynamic Earth 🌎
Looking forward to this tomorrow!
I will be discussing my latest work, linking outflows, radio, and dust in DESI QSOs ✨
The @astro-obs-ncl.bsky.social team will be at this year's #stemfest in Newcastle!
We'll be exploring invisible light and space with ~3000 students across 3 days! ✨

Tiago Costa giving the quasar feedback overview talk 🌌
Über 150 internationale Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler diskutieren diese Woche am AIP beim 18. Potsdamer Thinkshop. Der Thinkshop mit dem Titel „The Role of Feedback in Galaxy Formation“ bietet Raum für neue Ideen und interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit. 💫

Houda Haidar presenting her poster on dust in nearby AGN with JWST ✨
Nice to catch up with Samuel Ward, presenting his work on simulating AGN-driven outflows 💨
First time visiting @aippotsdam.bsky.social this week presenting a poster on my recent dusty QSO work 🔭
Lots of @newcastleuni.bsky.social representation at @nam25-durham.bsky.social this week! ✨
First up, @astrofawcett.bsky.social talking about evidence for a blow-out phase in dusty QSOs 💨

Great talk at the @nam25-durham.bsky.social EDI session by @izgarland.bsky.social
Favourite (paraphrased) quote on why outreach is important: 'Astronomy is a hobby, disguised as a profession, paid for by the tax payers. I think the least we can do is to make our work accessible to the tax payers.’
