It was a pleasure to work with Robin Wordsworth on this review of rocky planet atmospheres! arxiv.org/abs/2112.04663. We thought it would be timely to put it up on arXiv before the JWST launch, so just in time to get some data to prove all the predictions in the paper wrong :) Many different factors are expected to shape the atmospheres of rocky planets, ranging from volatile delivery to atmospheric loss to interaction with the planetary interior to present-day dynamics... We endeavor to review all this and more here.

Hey #astrotwitter! I'm putting together a presentation for new students on "Life Hacks for Grad School", and I want your input - what do you wish you knew when you started? Here are some things I've cobbled together over the years that make my life infinitely easier (combination of work flow/mental health stuff)

So excited to share a brand new result at #ExSS4! Here's a thread summarizing my talk for all you astrotweeps :). the paper will be out on arxiv tonight. tldr: We measured a thermal phase curve of a terrestrial exoplanet for the first time. Shout-out to my coauthors, particularly the theory dream team: Daniel Koll, Caroline Morley @AstroCaroline, Renyu Hu, and Laura Schaefer @lavainspace
