K2-18b is back in the news, now with a bold claim that biosignature molecules (DMS and/or DMDS) have been 'detected at 3σ'. Most exoplanet astronomers are extremely sceptical about these claims, let's see why (1/n). 🔭🧪🪐 #exoplanet

- Application & interview season is in full swing! Two reminders: 👉 GOOGLE your prospective supervisors 👉 TALK to people who’ve been at that university in that field. (Even better if they’re not from the same group!) Please, be careful. Do your research and trust your gut. I am an open book. 🪐
