I'm currently at the #SHINE23 conference to talk about studying the #Sun.
Today is student day, and its pretty cool to be interacting with 84 people who may be my colleagues for the rest of my career.

Ugh. I knew I was overworked, but I wasnt aware how much.
Other #SoundingRocket projects generally have a collection of part time professional engineers (electrical, mechanical, thermal, etc) and also have senior and junior grad students, a PI who's there 40% of the time, and a fleet of undergrads. This is normal for a rocket reflight. (10x easier than from scratch)
I have the normal professional engineers, me, a PI who's there 20% of the time, and 2 undergrads.
From scratch.

@bibianaprinoth we're hoping to get unprecedentedly high time resolution spectral images of the solar chromosphere testing wavelengths right around Lyman alpha. We're planning on launching during a #SolarFlare so we can observe the changes happening on a second to second scale. We also want to see solar spicules, which help transfer an unknown about of heat and mass from the photosphere to the corona.
I like to post about my work using the hashtag #GradStudentDaily but don't have a lot yet

Some more #Introduction
As a grad student, I'm helping to build the #SNIFSrocket, a #SoundingRocket payload which will study the #Sun.
A sounding rocket is a small (20 in diameter, 60 ft long) science rocket that launches, gets above the atmosphere for a few minutes to do #Science, and then comes back down.
We're hoping to study fast-moving events on the sun called #SolarSpicules, using high-energy Lyman-Alpha observations.

I'm going through the final edits of the scientific paper I submitted, now that the style editor has corrected all my language.
I didn't think I'd ever have to defend my grammar like this again.
"co-observation" vs "coobservation". Pretty sure the latter is not a word

"positive emission Gaussian" vs "positive-emission Gaussian". The hyphen means "positive" is now modifying "emission", I think. This completely changes the meaning.
