I’m a non-binary astronomer from Belfast, Northern Ireland, my pronouns are they/them, and my research has focused on characterising the atmospheres of planets in other solar systems. When I’m not arguing with people about when it’s appropriate to call an exoplanet habitable, I’m usually found reading, writing, cross-stitching, tweeting entirely too much (@astro_magpie), or teaching myself something improbable. I’m also looking for a job, so if you’re aware of anyone who wants a pet astronomer, let me know!
