First day back in the office after some time off...

One of my favourite quotes from Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir! 🤣 I've returned to my research on supermassive black holes this week after an extended amount of time off for medical treatment. Excited to be back to the new normal! #projecthailmary #andyweir #scientist #scifi #astrophysicist #rocky @AmazonMGMStudios @PenguinBooksUK @PenguinRandomHouse @sonypictures @audible @audibleuk 👩🏽‍💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. http://drbecky.uk.com
