So pumped for the 2025A semester!! My proposal was awarded time with the #NEID spectrograph on the WIYN telescope to measure the masses of and confirm 2 possibly 3 exoplanet siblings around a Sun-like star. Thank you to all who helped make this possible! @SESEASU @astro_educator

Amateur planet chasers – including one retired dentist! – teamed up with NASA scientists to measure the most precise physical and orbital parameters to date for an important planet, making other very important predictions possible! Learn more: go.nasa.gov/47wr15o

Excellent poster presentation by my student Isaac Rosenthal on a @the_zooniverse-based curriculum we developed to teach undergrads about climate change. He’s off to Amherst College in Sept to begin an education research postdoc with @AstroKateF!
