semi-permanent hiatus? idk i might return some day... neri is the name, extragalactic astronomy is my game
i'm an astrophysics phd candidate researching galaxy formation and evolution, focusing (for now) on a transitioning galaxy population known as the green valley. i'm happy to answer any and all questions about physics and astronomy to the best of my abilities. i'll be exhilarated if you ask me about my research
i love reading and wish i had more time for anything other than science papers (ask me for my goodreads)
i'm very into manga right now. some of my favorites are skip and loafer, mob psycho 100, dungeon meshi, witch hat atelier and hunter x hunter. i'm currently reading hirayasumi and mushishi
revolutionary girl utena is one of my favorite works of art of all times
my taste in music is all over the place, but i've been in a classical music kick for over a year now. please fight me over which interpretations of beethoven's piano sonatas are the best
my url is a reference to boltzmann's entropy formula: S = k.log(W)
my blog title is the name of a book by sadie carnot on heat engines
my icon is from skip and loafer
my header is the JWST deep field
