I was very excited to receive a 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 at last night's Queensland Women in STEM awards at the Queensland Museum.

Congratulations to all the other award winners and finalists, it was a privilege to be recognised among such an incredible group of leaders in science!

Very excited to be a finalist for the Queensland Museum’s Women in STEM prize, and very honoured to be named alongside such amazing women (like the fabulous @alicetwomey.bsky.social) 👩‍🔬🔭

Check out these fun stickers I made for the Centre for Astrophysics and iLAuNCH! Both are drawings of University of Southern Queensland's Mt Kent Observatory (Queensland's only professional observatory!).

p.s. if you want a sticker I have a stash with me, and in the Astro lounge on campus 🤫

Lovely to see my art out in the world! I made this fun logo for the Stellar and Planetary Research in Greater Sydney (@sprigs.au) group. How many subfields can you spot in the flowers?

My fabulous student, @elocinimages.bsky.social, is organising Space Bar - an astronomy night on Bribie Island, hosted at the RSL. Come along to hear from @unisq.bsky.social astronomers, do some space trivia, and maybe win a prize ✨

What a lovely surprise to find my new copy of Buried by @profaliceroberts.bsky.social is signed! Excited to read 🤩

Excited to have a new honorary appointment at Macquarie University! I have a desk in the Astronomy building, office 519 if anyone wants to find me 🌌🔭

A stickerised doodle of the University of Southern Queensland's Mt Kent Observatory! I can print some of these for locals to have - let me know if you want one! Image will go on my website for personal use as usual (rebeccamcelroy.github.io) 😊

While drawing all the telescopes 🔭 I was watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - so I thought I would draw my favourite character, Jadzia Dax!
