Podcasts

I love guesting on podcasts! I was on the Our Opinions Are Correct podcast in July 2023, the Hanselminutes podcast in March 2019, and the People Behind the Science podcast in January 2017.

Hubble Hangouts, etc.

Hubble Hangouts were one hour chats about astronomy, generally related to the Hubble Space Telescope. I participated in several:
on Mocking the Universe, a workshop on the interface of models and survey design at STScI that I was the chair of the Science Organizing Committee for in July 2015;
on how Most Earth-like Planets Have Yet To Be Born, related to my paper with Peter Behroozi on History and Future of Cosmic Planet Formation;
on the Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive.

I also used to be on twitter before realizing it was super-toxic for me.
