The building behind me is where the Harvard computers really started modern astrophysics by unlocking the secrets of astronomical spectra!

I’ll be honest, I was never one to dream about coming here because I never thought I was good enough. My first project is going to be on radio and X-ray data from a black hole that ate a star which I have wanted to study for years, and the entire thing is just so surreal!

Congrats! That dress is otherworldly as well.

The nice thing about science is that when a scientist gets a win, all of humanity also gets a win.
