Pi Day is a fake holiday that exploits a universal beloved mathematical constant to promote US-style date formats.

A new real-world effectiveness study documents 85% reduction of deaths and 55% reduction of hospitalizations for Paxlovid, independent of vaccination status, age, variants https://thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(23)00011-7/fulltext…

accidentally wrote "saad" instead of "saas" in a text to my partner; they immediately coined "Software as a Disappointment"
and honestly, where is the lie
I am at "Mapping the Milky Way" at the Lorentz Center in Leiden for my first full week of sabbatical with @rdrimmel and many others. We are trying to unify observations across the EM spectrum to make a map of the Milky Way!
People, I am on sabbatical!

Most folks know about da VInci's Vitruvian Man. But few know about his Cheetodesic Dome.
@trinsec ding ding ding we have a winner!
14 days till sabbatical but who’s counting?
@rdrimmel did not mean to offend. Hope we can discuss in Leiden in February!
@rdrimmel great. If I am honest I do not think the DIB work was up to the incredibly high standard the Gaia team has set for itself (and met!) since DR1. We were extremely excited to work with those data but they are too highly corrupted to use for science.
@rdrimmel we found that the DIB processing in DR3 had so many issues as to be effectively unusable, and a number of their main conclusions to be incorrect. This is the process of science, and we bear them no ill will, of course. Do you know whether the team is going to be taking our work into account? https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022arXiv221203879S/abstract
@crawfordsm @jradavenport @sandorkruk @rdrimmel @karenlmasters by eye they look askew by maybe 15 degrees? So 1 in 12 chance of being this well oriented or better at random?
@HIprocessor @rdrimmel @karenlmasters @sandorkruk seems like astrometry.net might give you a reasonable fits header?
@jradavenport @sandorkruk @rdrimmel @karenlmasters it sure could. I would bet mostly likely at the 100-300 pc distance range.
@rdrimmel @karenlmasters @sandorkruk *cough* @HIprocessor *cough*
@rdrimmel @karenlmasters @sandorkruk has someone looked in the HI?
