New account, new #introduction post! Hi, I’m Deanna (they/them) 👋 . I'm a postdoc at the Helsinki Institute of Physics working on #DarkMatter and #GravitationalWaves. I love science #outreach and I’ve been doing #cosmology livestreams - called #CupOfCosmology - since late 2015 (link in bio). I also often talk about my struggles with #MentalHealth in #academia, and my experience as #LGBTQInSTEM and as a (perceived) #WomenInSTEM.
I love meeting new people, so feel free to follow and interact!

Here’s a #CupOfCosmology 2022 recap: 36 new livestreams, featuring 11 guests (9 in Helsinki) and a lot of fun topics. Cup of Cosmology also moved from Happs to YouTube, and we celebrated 7 years of livestreams! All streams are here: https://www.youtube.com/c/CupOfCosmology.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of this journey this year! It’s been a lot of fun and I have a lot of plans for the show next year. So here’s to more science, curiosity and fun together in 2023!

Nice that you're on Mastodon, Deanna. I just wanted to say that both you and the U of Helsinki are doing a great service in providing cosmology learning resources. You with your #CupOfCosmology series (https://www.youtube.com/c/CupOfCosmology) and your exceptionally well-done new paper threads (example: https://twitter.com/dchooper91/status/1183084231267885057). But also the U of Helsinki with it's excellent cosmology researcher talks site at https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/unitube/search?unitube_q=cosmology

Looking forward to your participation here.

Hi everyone! I'm a queer theoretical physicist trying to understand the cool stuff that happened in the early universe. I've moved countries a few times, but now I'm settled in Finland.

I host #CupOfCosmology, a weekly interactive show about the universe (https://www.youtube.com/c/CupOfCosmology). I love animals, and I enjoy sci-fi shows, baking, listening to music and solving puzzles.

I'm here to learn new things and meet cool people!
