Following the conventional practices of the field (nested models) and his exact results there is no detection of DMS and no detection of DMDS. #exoplanets 🔭 #K218b

Working on this project was both fun and rewarding. I’ve kept Magritte’s The Treachery of Images in my office since my master’s—a reminder that definitions, like models, are not the thing itself. Context matters. So do the assumptions we often forget we’re making. Check out Matt's thread about it!

Ceci n'est pas une détection

Thrilled to welcome Matt Nixon and @sagnickastro.bsky.social to ASU!

A core part of the 51 Peg Fellowship is community—and I’m excited to build one alongside them. We’re ready to push boundaries, think creatively, and make the most of this moment. 🪐🚀

I'm excited to be in DC this week to present at the #GiantMagellan2023 Community Science Meeting on #Exoplanets. I'll give a review talk on the rapid development of the field. What are your favourite model/observation results from the last 5 years? I'll make sure to give you a shout out!
