Ohio State just advised all staff and students not to attend the SACNAS (Society for the advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) annual meeting of 6000+ scientists -- which is in Columbus, OH this year! -- saying it may be exclusionary, even though it is open to all.

I'm hiring 1-2 postdocs this year! If you're interested in:

GW astrophysics
(Binary) Stellar Evolution
Stellar dynamics (esp. w/ massive BHs)
Galactic dynamics (inc. stellar streams)

plz consider applying! You don't need letters initially, just a list of references.

Day one of the first ever MOSAICS Symposium! We had an astronaut talk, a packed plenary, workshops on grants, CV writing for students, posters, and yes, an ice cream bar!
