Radio burst from a stellar coronal mass ejection - Nature
An analogue to a type II burst from the early M dwarf StKM 1-1262 exhibits identical frequency, time and polarization properties to fundamental plasma emission from a solar type II burst.

Rosalind Franklin was born #OTD in 1920. Her X-ray diffraction work was critical for establishing the helical nature of DNA. 👩🔬 🧪
Work carried out by Franklin (with doctoral student Raymond Gosling) was given to Watson and Crick without her consent.

If you use AI to summarize a research article for you, that is a tacit admission that 1) you do not understand what that article argues; 2) you do not know what evidence is presented to support that argument; and 3) you do not have enough information to evaluate either the argument or evidence.

I've had a few other former astronomers reach out to me lately about transitioning into data science/ML, and I decided to write about it.
This is my personal journey from astro to ocean, and the most useful steps I took along the way.
