Last month I had the wonderful experience of attending the HERA24 early career researchers in astronomy workshop at the @academyofathens. Athens was on my bucket list and the city did not disappoint! Definitely the fanciest location for a talk 💫

So cool to hear @AstroLeConte on @BBCRadio4 talking about our paper published today on @RAS_Journals! 😃 Star bars are all the rage! durham.ac.uk/news-events/lat… with @astroferreira @conselice @astronomacamila Taehyun Kim @astrojustus @astro_francesca Lia Athanassoula and @NatAdAstra

.@AstroLeConte and fellow @DurhamPhysics astronomers used the James #Webb Space Telescope to look back more than ten billion years in time and saw that the #Universe’s early #galaxies developed much faster than previously thought! 👉 brnw.ch/21wJ7to @DarkerMatters

Are you an early career researcher interested in bars (galactic ones✨)? Then there's a Heraeus-EAS workshop in September 2024 just for you! Deadline to apply is 30th of April (selected applicants will have their local expenses fully covered!): indico.ph.tum.de/event/7498/

This month I was invited to join a colleague in La Palma for an observation trip. A surreal and extraordinary experience with the bonus of some clear nights to get some spectroscopic data of barred galaxies using the Isaac Newton Telescope 🪐 #INT #astronomy #observatory – at Santa Cruz de la Palma, Spain

Our paper on the optical morphologies of galaxies up to z~6.5 through visual classifications in CEERS is now published in ApJ. The NIR/IR JWST capabilities reveal that the structure of these galaxies have a lot in common to the ones in our local universe.

Bars in disc galaxies are abundant in the local Universe but decrease with redshift. For the first time, we observed the fraction of bars in disc galaxies beyond redshift 2 using JWST and found the fraction to be 3 times greater than the HST bar fraction. arxiv.org/abs/2309.10038

A special week in the life of an astrophysicist: great memories from @drbecky_ at the #galbars23 conference in Granada 😍 galactic bars are the best!! youtu.be/t8HPczb2v1E
