I love minding my own business while listening to kids chatting in their own slang, dissing grown-ups, catching each other saying 6-7, being deadly serious about school exams 😄 Language is a fascinatingly human thing when it's flowing without the imposition of scientifically derived rules and years of societal integration. It just can't stay put and tries to explore every crack, break every convention.

Catalog and Characterization of Science Orbit Configurations for an Enceladus Orbiter
Saturn's moon Enceladus is an exciting destination for future exploration missions due to the scientifically interesting geyser region located on its South pole. In this work, we compile the different types of science orbit configurations that have been proposed in the literature and present numerical methods to compute each of them in the Saturn-Enceladus circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP). In addition, we explore the utility of the higher period dynamical structures found in the C…

Albany Georgia isn’t the only place where the poorest among us are also the sickest.
The United States is blessed with one of the most scientifically and technologically advanced health care systems in the world,
a sprawling industry so vast and lucrative that it is now one of the largest drivers of the economy,
accounting for more jobs and revenue than manufacturing.
But for all the money flowing in and out,
Americans have more chronic illnesses and shorte…

Sick in a Hospital Town
Welcome to Albany, Georgia, where one hospital dominates the political and economic landscape. The story of Phoebe Putney Memorial is the story of American health care.

DeepScientist: Advancing Frontier-Pushing Scientific Findings Progressively
While previous AI Scientist systems can generate novel findings, they often lack the focus to produce scientifically valuable contributions that address pressing human-defined challenges. We introduce DeepScientist, a system designed to overcome this by conducting goal-oriented, fully autonomous scientific discovery over month-long timelines. It formalizes discovery as a Bayesian Optimization problem, operationalized through a hierarchical evaluation process consisting of "hypothesize, verify, …

Amortized Bayesian Inference for Spatio-Temporal Extremes: A Copula Factor Model with Autoregression
We develop a Bayesian spatio-temporal framework for extreme-value analysis that augments a hierarchical copula model with an autoregressive factor to capture residual temporal dependence in threshold exceedances. The factor can be specified as spatially varying or spatially constant, and the scale parameter incorporates scientifically relevant covariates (e.g., longitude, latitude, altitude), enabling flexible representation of geographic heterogeneity. To avoid the computational burden of the …

Pan-STARRS follow-up of the gravitational-wave event S250818k and the lightcurve of SN 2025ulz
Kilonovae are the scientifically rich, but observationally elusive, optical transient phenomena associated with compact binary mergers. Only a handful of events have been discovered to date, all through multi-wavelength (gamma ray) and multi-messenger (gravitational wave) signals. Given their scarcity, it is important to maximise the discovery possibility of new kilonova events. To this end, we present our follow-up observations of the gravitational-wave signal, S250818k, a plausible binary neu…

Modelling time series of counts with hysteresis
In this article, we propose a novel model for time series of counts called the hysteretic Poisson autoregressive (HPART) model with thresholds by extending the linear Poisson autoregressive model into a nonlinear model. Unlike other approaches that bear the adjective ``hysteretic", our model incorporates a scientifically relevant controlling factor that produces genuine hysteresis. Further, we re-analyse the buffered Poisson autoregressive (BPART) model with thresholds. Although the two models …
