In December 2020, I became a full author for Astrobites. Astrobites is a graduate student-run website that posts bite-sized summaries of new astronomy research. Our main audience is early-career astronomers, and I enjoy making high-level science accessible for those newer to the field. I choose one article each month or so to write about. I tend to gravitate toward writing about creative and/or unusual research because that science is my favorite to read about. Here is a collection of some of my posts:
