I've seen the first few before but the ads definitely became more bold.

Those are some cute names! Queen and Her Majesty are very appropriate, any recently vacated chair becomes her throne 👑

My partner and I adopted this gorgeous girl! Name suggestions welcome 🐈

Virtual realities: Is there only one advanced image display that astronomers need? Data visualisation is an essential ingredient of scientific analysis, discovery, and communication. Along with a human (to do the looking) and the dat…

Excited announce that I am a coauthor on a recently published paper!
"Virtual realities: Is there only one advanced image display that astronomers need?", published in Astronomy and Computing, looks at better understanding visualisation in #astronomy.

Summer fruits trifle, with Greek yoghurt, homemade custard, roasted apricots. The trifle is topped with peaches and mangos.

Fattoush salad in a large bowl, placed on a table set with a selection of salads, pebre and wine.

For two different Christmas dinners, we made a fattoush salad and a trifle with summer fruits.

And it's free! That looks great.

No dogs allowed unfortunately :(

So many great telescopes in Chile! Time to book in visit 🤔

Made a Greek style feast including Horta, roast potatoes, tzatziki and kangaroo skewers (for that Aussie twist).

Honestly that's completely understandable, it's a broad course and the fact you were doing it part time over a much longer period must've made it hard to stay dedicated to it.
Are you still doing any Astro photography?

That sounds like such a cool opportunity! Surely you've got the skills and experience.
What other kinds of opportunities have you been looking at?

My PhD's in computer vision now, bit of a departure from physics but a really interesting area.

Not bad Ibnul! PhD is a fun new challenge :)
How've you been? Have you had the chance to apply what you learnt in your physics degree?

That's usually the first thing I try but I was told that's not allowed :(

One of the OG's

Regulars only vino?

That looks unreal! Definitely worth a visit when we're next in the South island.

It looks like a space ship! Time to make the pilgrimage.

That looks like a great opportunity! I'll look into the application process.

That's a cool mural! Where is it?

Want to make a radio telescope for $150 and a wok? These researchers have you covered:

Nice, I just thought your phone camera had some telescope attached.

Far out, how close is that balloon?

That's pretty much the consensus I've heard from post-docs and Astro phd's, the skills are valued in other industries!

Nearly finished processing a dataset of short (3-20 second) videos, trying to estimate the pose and positions of people in each frame. It's taken nearly 55 hours of compute time on a supercomputer 🥴 I've got to be doing something wrong...
