  1. Happy to see the statement on #universityrankings by the International Association of Universities #IAU, the largest and most international university network: iau.global/news/iau-note-on-ra. Sort of proud to have played a role in that. Moving away from rankings, step by step. I look forward to seeing similar statements from #LERU, #TheGuild, #AURORA, #YERUN and others. Solidarity among institutions is crucial amidst authoritarianism and commercial capture.

    I'm really excited to teach here - I wanted to do one of the capacity building workshops for a while.

    IAU Hands-On Workshops - Call for Proposals for Workshops in 2026

    The IAU calls for applications to organize workshops under the IAU Hands-On Workshops (I-HOW) initiative. These workshops aim at training early-career scientists from developing countries in accessing, reducing, and analysing the vast amount of data available in astronomical archives across the world, and using them for their research projects. Proposals to organise one of these workshops shall be submitted using the application form provided on the website by email to one of the members of the I-HOW Steering Committee.

    The deadline for applications is December 31, 2025.

    More information on the characteristics of the initiative, the procedure and selection criteria for workshops, and a link to the application form are available at: iau.org/Iau/Iau/Science/Traini

  7. I was checking out the video of the #ARISS contact at @astronomy2024 and stuck around for a very inspiring talk by Dr. #maejemison about the #100YSS project. I love that the project puts #Diversity out front. youtube.com/live/7VsshsjvnTM?f the #ARISS contact starts around 1:45 and Dr. Jemison's remarks at 2:26 #BlacksInScience #BlackInTech #afrofuturism #starship #AmateurRadio #startrek #iau #WomensDay

  11. Cuno Hoffmeister und die „Grenzen“ der Sternbilder
    Vor etwas mehr als 100 Jahren wurden die #Sternbilder von der Internationalen Astronomischen Union (#IAU) festgelegt, ein paar Jahre später wurden auch die Sternbildgrenzen definiert. Es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, dass Cuno Hoffmeister, der Gründer der #Sternwarte #Sonneberg, ebenfalls dazu beigetragen hat, dass eine Grenzziehung zwischen den Sternbildern erforderlich wurde. #Astronomiemuseum

  14. Entre la lista de 20 exoplanetas a ser observados por el #WebbTelescope que la #IAU propone renombrar en esta edición del Name ExoWorlds se encuentra Gliese 486 b, descubierto en 2021 gracias en gran parte al consorcio
    #CARMENES. Gliese 486 b se ha convertido en uno de los exoplanetas telúricos mejor estudiados gracias a las recientes investigaciones realizadas desde España. Por ello, esta iniciativa propone renombrar a este exoplaneta y su estrella anfitriona como "Su" y "Gar", respectivamente
