Astronomy May 2014

Just got two copies of it in the mail- yup, a nice article by me on supermassive stars in there. So check it out!

Funny thing btw, you can tell I'm an astronomer because there's a beautiful illustration in the article detailing how jets are formed from supermassive stars and how they create emission. I really want to use it for talks, plus hey it's mine, so I'm writing to my editor to ask if I can have a copy of the image.

Ultimate compliment from my dad via text message- "I learned a lot!"

My response- "me too!"

Seriously, like teaching, there are few better ways to master a topic than write an article about it.

Just heard from the editor that my supermassive stars article was the top-ranked one by readers in the May issue. Booyea!

Is that a very long article about stars, or an article about supermassive stars?

Congrats. You rock girl.
