Is there weird mastodon?
@karenlmasters @sandorkruk i poked very briefly at the rnaas and could not satisfy myself that this was not Galactic. Do we know this is not Galactic? It looks a lot like the magnetized structures we have been studying in the MW for about a decade.

Were you at @janerrigby's fantastic #aas241 talk this morning and were wondering "how could I do some of that?" in the science sections? You may be interested in my interactive presentation of STScI's Jupyter notebook machinery, Wednesday at 930a at the STScI booth!
@kityates I continue to lend my voice to asynchronous hybridity. If you used to have a yearly 4-day, in-person meeting chock full of talks switch to yearly alternating between all-virtual talk-centric meetings and longer pure in-person meetings focused on working and discussion. Costs and asymmetry for hybrid cannot be wished away. Contractors need to be paid.
I have always told my conservative friends and relatives (many whom I respect and actively discuss real issues with) that their concerns about silencing diverse views on campus were overblown. But holy crap, this is a very clear example of what they are worried about: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/08/us/hamline-university-islam-prophet-muhammad.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
@ChrisWilms23 @scerruti @gabipurcaru why is qoto missing?
If you are curious how AI will destroy the world without being explicitly evil, please watch the last third of every zombie movie or “facility gone wrong” movie ever made. It’s not the zombies. It’s the people.

My kids gave me the greatest shirt in existence. I will not be taking any questions at this time.
I dunno who needs to hear this but if you have covid, and you have access to paxlovid, take paxlovid. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04576-6
@galaxy_map @rdrimmel the sad truth is that it’s messier than any of us want it to be

I don't feel as strongly about quote posts as I did in 2018. Personally, I am not a fan, but there is clearly a lot of demand for it. We're considering it.
@rdrimmel hahahaha fair!

It's kinda weird when 8 out of 10 people watching the fireworks are using their phones to record it. It feels so surreal seeing them recording the fireworks instead of enjoying the moment.

A sympathetic nod of the head to everyone who is not posting end of year summaries because they’re broken and sad.

Ending the year by updating my #website: http://dr-rodriguez.github.io/
It had been years since I touched it so it was overdue for a more modern look 😉

@janerigby this really should just be standard practice at such meetings. We tested every person every day at a 3 week meeting and it was absolutely the right move.

I’m planning to COVID test every day of #AAS241, to keep myself, my family, and my colleagues safe. If you’ll do the same, please share!

When I wrote my first research proposal, I was given one to emulate. How about we give that advantage to everyone? This story includes a link to our $190M NASA Earth Venture Mission Proposal: Butterfly

@redshiftdrift my lit game could use *a lot* of work
@pkgw @jradavenport what about Notion?
