Want to do astro research, but not sure what kinds of graduate programs to apply for? Look no further–this post outlines everything you need to know about the differences between astronomy, physics, and other types of graduate programs.
Academia isn’t the only future open to an astronomy degree. In this ‘beyond’ post, we discuss the universally-useful skills you can hone as a student, and then explore a variety of non-academic jobs where you can put those skills to good use.
It’s that time of the year again: graduate school application season. Today we revisit a 2015 article that shows, once more, that GRE scores requirements on graduate admissions hurt diversity and equity of opportunity in astronomy, and we are overdue on fighting against the inertia.
