If enforcing gender norms requires a constant state of surveillance and censorship then they probably aren't as biological or innate as you think they are

Happy Monday to everyone except all the NSF GRFP reviewers who penalized students, especially senior undergraduates, for not having a publication 🤡

Another interesting trend: We see large scatter within our 1300K sample (dark points in fig) in apparent heat redistribution vs. equilibrium temperature. This tells us a third parameter is important, but what is it? We look at offset, period, gravity and none explain it. (9/)

Naturally we also looked at phase/hotspot offset and phase curve amplitude vs. equilibrium temperature compared to models from two different groups. Excitingly our new population (dark points) matched amplitude predictions well! 2 look to be cloudy and 3 are maybe clear? (10/)
