Az biztos, hogy ezek a beszélgetések nem mindig kellemesek, hanem be tudják pörgetni az agyad, vagy akár katartikusak is lehetnek. És kell hogy neked legyen bizalmad a pszichológusban, mint szakemberben (ami más, mint általában emberben). De ez is folyamat, nem egy vizit fogja megadni.

Ez teljességgel rajtad áll. Mi is megegyeztünk az enyémmel, hogy az általam felhozott problémát és megoldási lehetőségeket számomra átbeszéltük, ha újra úgy érzem, hogy szükségem van ilyesmire, jelentkezzek be nála újra.

De pl az első alkalmak is pont arról szólnak, hogy kompatibilisek vagytok-e.

Illetve, akihez én jártam, az is behozott egy idő után egy új témát is, a mellé, amivel eredetileg felkerestem, mert látta, hogy sokat kattogok azon is, és pl küldött hozzá olvasnivalót, amit megbeszéltünk.

Illetve, az egyik munkatársam kipróbált többet, komolyabb problémák feloldására. Volt, akit egy-két alkalom után otthagyott, mert mint fiatal nőt infantilizálni kezdte. Más viszont annyira bevált neki, hogy azóta beajánlott hozzá mást is.

Akit leveszel a dumáddal, az nem jó pszichológus ;) Az enyém is türelmesen várt, amíg elmondtam a magamét, és utána vitt vissza olyan pontokhoz, amit ő szakemberként kiszúrt, vagy tudta, hogy mit kell pontosan megpiszkálni a gondolataimban.

The gutting of NASA Goddard has had a devastating effect on high energy astrophysics. The AXIS probe mission proposal was rejected without review. (The Goddard X-ray mirror lab was significantly impacted by shutdowns and pressured retirements, against the congress approved budget for NASA.)

Clockwise, from top left: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. None of the worlds is to scale, but all are imaged with JWST's near-infrared (NIRCam) instrument.

Cover of "Picture an Astronomer: Best Practices for Retaining Talent in Astrophysics", which features an illustration of a 19-year-old Vera Rubin looking through a telescope over a backdrop of a first light image of spiral galaxies from the Rubin Observatory.

Happy International Women's Day!

Perfect time for me to (re)share our white paper on increasing the retention of women in professional astrophysics (really full of suggestions that broaden participation in academic science in general).

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.

There have been MULTIPLE early leaks of scientific discoveries via DECORATED CAKE. Scientists are good at many things, but shutting up is definitely not one of them.

I love this, already assigned alpha UMa to one of my students since that's in a binary. :) (Seismic RV data for the RGBs would be cool too, based on our gamma Per results - on TASOC review soon) ;)

I want to repeat comments I already made on this plot since some news outlets seem to ignore them: Hubble will not reenter until early 2030s. The curve here is alarming, but will flatten out as we hit solar minimum in the coming years. I still think it's time for NASA to take action on a reboost.

NIST to introduce restrictions on non-US citizens The precision measurement and quantum communities are upset about the secretiveness of the move and its potential damage to US science.

Restrictions on international researchers at NIST stand to be the latest blow to the US research community. #physics #quantum

He's specifically talking about "training", so it's not about just being nice with acquaintances. Can mean children, can mean students, graduates, trainees we teach.

doesn't even have to mean parenting, can be teaching as well. I'd rather work with university students instead with a chatbox all day.

Will an AI hold your hand, Sam? Will and AI cry on your shoulder, Sam? Will an AI share a coffee with you to talk about life, Sam? Will it look into your eye and say thank you for everything and will you vision suddenly blur from tears? Go to hell, Sam.

"majority opinion joined by Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, two of Trump’s three Supreme Court picks"

"Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s other appointee, wrote the main dissent, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito"

I see a pattern emerging here...

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...
