LIGO“I am most proud of the way we as LVK members support each other in our work. Whether it be through collaboration, review work, mentoring or just showing an interest in each other’s science during telecons or conferences. It was fantastic as a PhD student to know that those more senior than you were aware and interested in what you are working on, and now as a postdoc I’m continually amazed by the fantastic science being done by everyone around me. The thing I’m most proud of is being an active part of the LVK community. I also love to paint, especially big and bright canvas paintings, and occasionally I create art based on black holes and gravitational waves. The inside cover of my PhD thesis features a binary black hole merger drawing and it was really fun to make!"Find out more about Lucy at <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/HumansOfLIGO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumansOfLIGO</a>: <a href="https://humansofligo.blogspot.com/2024/04/lucy-thomas.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://humansofligo.blogspot.com/2024/04/lucy-thomas.html</a><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Astrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrodon</a>

Prof Heino FalckeHow long will our universe last? Well, it looks like there is a definite end to the most robust pieces of our cosmos: Even the dead remnants of stars, i.e. black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs will eventually decay. This is based on the realization that Hawking radiation is part of a more general process that leads to the decay of gravitational fields.
