Congratulations to Elizabeth Mone, who just submitted her ApJ paper on massive black hole formation! She is one of the top undergrad researchers I've mentored in my 13 years as faculty. She's applying to astro grad schools this year, so be on the lookout for her application! arxiv.org/abs/2412.08829

Had fun talking about #JWST and its implications for cosmology and galaxy formation at the American Museum of Natural History with @neildegrassetyson.com, @astroahura.bsky.social, Wendy Freedman, Priya Natarajan, and Rachel Somerville. There have been some real surprises and we’ve learned a lot! 🧪

Is it okay to put this in the acknowledgements?
We thank the anonymous referee for insightful comments that helped improve the paper but not for being an ass.

Jesus Christ, Phil, you're on FIRE. Masterpieces every week!
Feels like my postdoc days again when he was publishing several papers a year and we were on the job market together. All is cool now since I've given up writing first author papers 🙃

It's a joy to be back at KIPAC for their 20th Anniversary Conference, seeing many old faces and hearing about all the exciting science that KIPAC has enabled. Time flies, it's been 16 years since my PhD! Here I am with my advisor Tom Abel and the wonderful Martha Siegel. kipac.stanford.edu/kipac20

Very happy to have Prof. John Wise from Georgia Tech. visiting us today at Tsinghua and walking us through the birth of the first stars, galaxies, & MBH using simulations.
Visiting Beijing during the summer takes real courage, but the fall is really nice! Highly recommended!

ZS is at it again trying to get me to delete my tweet (2nd photo shows the deleted quoted tweet). He's already filed ethics complaints and emailed my chair and dean 🙄 I had just ignored him.
But in his latest attempt he's using a student as a pawn, and I don't want to hurt them.
