I'm an observational astrophysicist, so often I call myself an astronomer. My friends often laugh because they have to tell me the latest cool astronomy news.

Proud supervisor day! New to the arXiv arxiv.org/pdf/2410.18193 - remember those cool galaxies in the first JWST data releases that showed us [OIII]4363?! - One of them revealed a high ionisation potential line (work by @JarleBrinchmann) an early indication of all the BHs! (1/n)

Still trying to make progress with science projects while on shared parental leave without also missing out on these last week's before little one starts nursery. The magic combination: naps (baby), coffee, chocolate and wonderful collaborators!

Such a privilege to give a plenary talk at #NAM2024 in a year when dual roles of mother+milk machine and scientist have made even UK based travel challenging. Sorry to not stay the whole week, but thanks to my family for following me here today so I could show up!

Ready... (Though can I truly be ready when I've lost my JWST earrings 😭)
