Well the time has come. Unfortunately the last 2 yrs on the academic job market in the UK hasn’t been fruitful, partly due to dwindling funding opportunities and partly to my own personal restrictions on location/moving. As a result I’ll be leaving Astronomy in a months time. 🫡
It’s been an amazing few years and a privilege to work on the frontlines with JWST. I thank @conselice for providing me this unique opportunity. I also thank the high-z groups in Manchester, Oxford, Cambridge, Sussex, Portsmouth, Warwick & Edinburgh who assisted me in my job hunt
Finally, none of our groups work would have been possible without the incredible efforts of our postgrad students including @duncanaustin99 and @tHarvey303 . They will carry the torch and finish up EPOCHSv2 papers, please do hire these amazing scientists as they enter the market!

First Scientific Results from WEAVE. Using the set of first-light observations from the new WHT WEAVE wide-field spectrograph, a team led by Dr Marina Arnaudova (Univ. of Hertfordshire, UK) has presented the first scientific results. ing.iac.es/PR/press/weave_fi…

The job ad has just gone live for a 3-year postdoc position in my group at Edinburgh University, working on high-redshift galaxy evolution with JWST and MOONS. The deadline for applications is a month today on 20th December elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/…

Oxford astrophysics DPhil (PhD) projects are now live on the @OxfordPhysics website, including a spectacular opportunity to work with @astrokiwi & I on interstellar objects in the age of @VRubinObs. Do apply! physics.ox.ac.uk/study/postg…

We're still buzzing about our beautiful telescope! 🤩
#ICYMI Rubin Observatory staff recently installed the primary/tertiary mirror and officially has a complete telescope, using the commissioning camera!

Just wanted to quickly advertise a really exciting new result just obtained by ALMA involving the detection (6.6 sigma) of the [OIII]88 line at z=14.1793 put together by an awesome PhD student in Leiden with the name of Sander Schouws. The [OIII]88 line detection was found by

Big merger paper out today - galaxy merger histories up to z = 11.5 with JWST -- quick summary - galaxy mergers build AT LEAST half of all galaxy mass in the first Gyr. It's not all star formation!

Euclid celebrates first science with sparkling cosmic views! 🤩
From faint to bright, from distant to nearby, from the most massive of galaxy clusters to small planets, these images demonstrate @ESA_Euclid 's ability to unravel the secrets of the cosmos.
Access them here👉 esa.int/Science_Exploration/… and read more about each image below 🧵👇
ALT Composite image of five astronomical views. Three are placed at the top, two at the bottom. All are dotted with stars and galaxies against a black background. Striking features are three bright glowing structures in the first image. The second image has an orange veil-like structure spanning across. In the third we see a stunning spiral galaxy with many arms. The fourth image features light from galaxies lying behind a bright cluster distorted into arcs. And the fifth image shows a variety of galaxies in all shapes and sizes.
Looking forward to our sellout show tomorrow night at the English Lounge in Manchester! I hope I a) don’t lose my voice or b) get crushed by falling aircon at the co-op arena tonight seeing Elbow 🤞
💥This is what the first night of #pint24 looked like in the UK🇬🇧!
We had a blast and it looks like you did too! Thanks for all your tweets!

Too much, too young, too fast? The first results from mine and @FergusLPCullen's EXCELS JWST Cycle 2 programme are out today. We show beautiful new spectra for 4 ultra-massive galaxies that formed way too many stars when the Universe was way too young 1/3 arxiv.org/abs/2405.02242

It's paper day!
My first PhD paper is published today with MNRAS @RAS_Journals. I am so proud and grateful for the opportunities created by this research.

Next month I’m going to be participating in Pint of Science in Manchester, come and join us for a beer or two as we discuss AI, the first galaxies and Dinosaurs! pintofscience.co.uk/event/co… #pint24 @pintofscience
