I was extremely excited and so very happy to have met, and interviewed the person who discovered pulsars this year - Dame Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell.

I think that will be a huge career highlight for me!

My very first paper of my PhD!

This was four years in the making, and for the first time, we had direct evidence of the origin of this event as a result of the disturbance in the millisecond pulsar PSR J1713+0747 magnetosphere.

Super proud of this one!

Earlier this year, astronomers caught the radio signal from ASKAP J1832-0911 - a Long-Period Transient (which are all the buzz in #RadioAstronomy atm). But for the first time, coincident X-ray emissions were also observed with Chandra for this object.

This was really cool - and it was from the team at Google (with a few science friends) that did this to help improve coverage for the Android community).

Smartphones and GPS signals can improve tracking of our ionosphere and solar storms!
Researchers have found a way to measure Earth's dynamic ionosphere using smartphones, with GPS signals offering insights into this turbulent region of our atmosphere.

What an honour it was to conduct this interview.

Sitting down, one-on-one with Dame Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell.

We spoke about pulsars, history, and ongoing equity in academia.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I will cherish it.

Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell is a most amazing and inspiring woman. And she has such great stories to tell!

"Her story is not just about pulsars, it's about resilience in the face of bias, of generosity in sharing recognition, and of a vision to build a more inclusive scientific community."

But is PSR J1713+0747 the only millisecond pulsar with profile variability? And what are the implications of this for high-precision timing experiments, such as searching for gravitational waves?

The results of a four-year analysis on PSR J1713+0747 have indicated that the millisecond pulsar underwent a significant profile change event, whose origin can be traced to the magnetosphere of the star - with massive disruptions to the polarisation.
