I had the most wholesome and life changing interaction at #Astrofest2021 on the weekend, it gives me goosebumps and makes me smile every time I think about it.

A thread about parents, neurodivergence and outreach 1/19 I was volunteering at the @ICRAR stand talking about our research and pathways to come study with us. I love it so much, I get to show people that there isn't *one* way to get into astrophysics
I took a winding route, failed courses, took a break but ultimately I'm here! 2/19

I'm 2.5 years into my PhD but today I made one of the most important discoveries of my PhD!

What did I discover? Well... a 🧵1/13 The last few months, I have been processing A LOT of data I've collected using the @mwatelescope

- Observed 7 times during the year
