So pumped for the 2025A semester!! My proposal was awarded time with the #NEID spectrograph on the WIYN telescope to measure the masses of and confirm 2 possibly 3 exoplanet siblings around a Sun-like star. Thank you to all who helped make this possible! @SESEASU @astro_educator

Amateur planet chasers – including one retired dentist! – teamed up with NASA scientists to measure the most precise physical and orbital parameters to date for an important planet, making other very important predictions possible! Learn more: go.nasa.gov/47wr15o

So happy to see our study highlighted by NASA. It was an honor to collaborate with so many great people from around the world on this project. I am forever grateful for the all of the support :) @astro_educator @NASAJPL @ASU @asuonline #exoplanetwatch #exoplanets

Thanks to the hard work of @Heather_Brynne and the Spring 2023 cohort of our @asuonline #exoplanet research class, an additional 14 non-traditional undergraduate students are officially polished authors!! Check out their peer-reviewed manuscript: app.aavso.org/jaavso/article…


Check out this @NASA blog post about our fully online, exoplanet research class offered at @SESEASU! Thanks @Heather_Brynne for being the most excellent co-pilot throughout this adventure. @NASAExoplanets science.nasa.gov/get-involved/c…


Two student papers accepted for publication today! Congratulations @AstroFredNoguer and @hayleearcher on your first author pubs! Eager Beavers getting it done ✅ I’m a proud advisor today and every day.

Kicking off my 61 inch Kuiper telescope remote observing season the next 3 nights to push limits on detecting shallow exoplanet transit depths for validation! Please send good weather vibes. @astro_educator @SESEASU @NASA

Eager Beaver Research students representing at #AAS! Four talks and three posters between these amazing students, and 3 of them products of @asuonline! I couldn’t be prouder. @SESEASU @Heather_Brynne @AstroFredNoguer @fille_delespace @GraceHaverstock

So excited to give my first talk at #AAS243 @AAS_Office! I will be discussing combining transit, eclipse, and radial velocity data from multiple sources for updating the ephemeris and orbital parameters of #exoplanet WASP-77 A b. Please join me today Jan10 at 2:40 PM in room 215

How I sometimes wish I could reply to my anonymous course evaluations… #AcademicTwitter


Congratulations to my PhD student, @Heather_Brynne who published her first lead author education research paper today! If you’re interested in making research accessible to online students, give it a read! @SESEASU @asuonline @NASAExoplanets journals.aps.org/prper/pdf/10.1…

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Molly Simon on receiving The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Zebulon Pearce Distinguished Teaching Award in Natural Sciences this year! Read the full story here in ASU News: news.asu.edu/20230605-colle…...


I feel incredibly honored to have received the @ASU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Distinguished Teaching Award in the Natural Sciences. It’s been a real privilege to teach and mentor such phenomenal students at @SESEASU! news.asu.edu/20230605-colle…


Excellent poster presentation by my student Isaac Rosenthal on a @the_zooniverse-based curriculum we developed to teach undergrads about climate change. He’s off to Amherst College in Sept to begin an education research postdoc with @AstroKateF!
