After two talks, discussion sessions, and safaris at a conference, now in Cape Town for catching up with friends and some collab work next week (besides grant writing/responding to ref report...)
Made a friend this evening too!
Gave a talk at Dynamic Radio Sky last night! About our findings with scattering correlations for FRB host galaxies.
I do mean 'last night' - it was 12:30am for me... and the best possible time given the schedule! Better than not being able to give the talk at all. #timezones
Jumped from double conference week into double telescope proposals deadline day (albeit one got led by my student in the end, and neither of them were started from scratch).
Hoping next time MeerKAT and GMRT won't conspire to have their deadlines on the same day! 🫠
This morning I gave a 1 min sparkler talk for a poster on FRBs and scattering correlations with host galaxy properties at #NAM2025 in Durham in person.
This evening I gave a talk remotely at #FRB2025 about a new repeating FRB discovery.
That's right dual conferencing baybeeee
Also got to see my PhD student, Hugh Roxburgh, give his talk at #FRB2025! He was a perfect 12 hours time difference from that meeting in Montreal. Hugh's carrying on with HI follow-up of multiple FRBs - paper submission is soon!
Attending #NAM2025 this week - only arrived today but in Durham for the week. Seeing the castle shortly after getting off the train by the river was pretty neat. Got posters (plural) for this conference - first flash/sparkler talk tomorrow!
I've been part of a large collaborative effort, featuring a bunch of CRAFT survey people, behind this discovery! A long-period radio transient (LPT - rare!) detected in X-ray, the first for an LPT!

I, alongside my boss Romeel, have a Masters project being advertised through #DARA - the Development in Africa with Radio Astronomy program! Deadline is this Sunday - if you are/know a potential student from specific countries in Africa, check it out!
