- I ordered some garlic knots. The menu said “$2.50 ea” and I thought that was kinda pricey, but it is nyc so 🤷🏽♀️ I bought 6 But friends. It was not each! It was $2.50 for 5 garlic knots! I bought THIRTY GARLIC KNOTS 😭😭😭😭😭😭 No vampires for me in the foreseeable future 😔
- There were definitely tears when I opened this envelope and held my PhD diploma for the first time 10 years ago, I lived in a log cabin without running water and now I have four Ivy League degrees that no one can ever take away from me I really did that 🥲
- Officially a Doctor of Philosophy in Astronomy!! 🥳🥳🥳 If you missed the public talk about my research, you can watch it on YouTube here! bit.ly/MoiyaMcTierThe… Thank you to everyone who helped and supported and congratulated along the way ❤️
00:00 - Watch this video and like this tweet if you think @jimmyfallon should invite me, an actual astrophysicist, onto @FallonTonight to teach him about space
00:00 - Replying to @GoAstroMoThis is my most popular tweet ever. I’m a whole ass astrophysicist and I’m gonna be known as garlic knot girl 😂
- My hot take that no one asked for is that I should be able to send emails whenever I want. Shaming ppl for emailing outside of “working hours” ignores the fact that not everyone works a 9-5. I like working & emailing at 11pm. It doesn’t mean I expect you to respond then
- Sitting at a WOMEN’s conference where the presenter is parroting back the lessons that I (a woman) have heard my whole life Tone policing. Appropriate dress. Prioritizing another person’s comfort I’m SICK of hearing these lessons. And heartbroken to hear a woman promote them
- Replying to @funfactscienceToo many in general? Absolutely not. Too many for me in that moment? It pains me to admit it, but yes.
- A little old lady tapped my arm on the train to ask if my tattoo was about physics. When I nodded, she smiled and said recognizing spectra made her day. I smiled back and told her she made mine
- If the whole Crab Nebula (~4.5 times the Sun’s mass) were made of crab meat and you seasoned it ~properly~ you’d need to use enough old bay to fill up about 1/3 of the whole ass sunReplying to @shodellHow much old bay seasoning would it take to flavor the Crab Nebula?
- Replying to @DrStarkid_It said “ea” what else was I supposed to think?
- Replying to @GoAstroMoLove that y’all think I actually leave my apartment 😆 This was for delivery
