Alas, X has lost its lustre for me. I was here to interact socially and professionally with colleagues, with a bit of sci comm (not to mention staying on top of Astro gossip). Sadly, none of these are happening these days.

My feed has become a cesspit - like a really bad Reddit I can’t curate. I am going on hiatus somewhere blue. I will probably not actively return unless fundamental changes occur here. Sad to leave but this place is so much worse than when I joined in 2009.

🌌 Radio signals from stars reveal magnetic storms & space weather on exoplanets! 🌠 These signals help us study solar bursts, auroras, and magnetic star-planet interactions. @AstroJoeC is 1st author of this paper, explaining more about it. nature.com/articles/s41550-0… #spaceweather

It is Astrofest for @ASTRON_NL /@jivevlbi today! We get together once-a-year and discuss about what motivates us (whether that is a particular science problem or our hobbies).

When I moved to the Netherlands nearly 8 years ago, I never expected that one day I would become Dutch. A big change for a boy from regional Australia. Anyway, language exams all passed and one step closer to being a lowlander! #nederlandse #nederland

In particular, I want to personally thank @fringetracker for making sure we got this across the line (when my momentum flagged on the paper) and @rkavanagh_ for all his modelling input and beautiful images.
