This is a great talk about how Science Platforms will change the way data reduction is performed in radio astronomy…

At ALMA, we don't have a Science Platform, but we're looking at them to see if they might be required for the WSU era…

I just gave a talk about the ALMA telescope and its development program to my ex-colleagues at SKAO, and I just wanted to share two wonderful resources that I found. The first one, is the NRAO Archives, which includes things such as this interview with Frank Drake (yes, the one that came up with the Drake Equation for the probability of the existence of life we could communicate with in our galaxy):

Going to the UK for the first time and visiting the #SKAO with the Lovell and Mark II radio telescopes going to be a fun week! #tango

Myself and and Dr James Pearson from the #OpenUniversity on “What would you like 100000 people to do for you?” - how to make your own #CitizenScience project, at the #SKAO #OpenScience summer school in Granada earlier this month https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZaDkDK39F8

@timbray thanks! Even having worked on some of the timing requirements for the Square Kilometre Array Observatory with respect to software, I did not know a couple of things here… but I’m very glad I was well aware of most of the things in the talk!

This is the official announcement from #SKAO that Spain is finally a Full Member of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory! 11 years and 4 months since the start of VIA-SKA, directed by Lourdes Verdes-Montenegro and Project Managed by myself in the first two years! https://www.skao.int/en/news/460/spain-joins-ska-observatory-full-member #Spain #RadioAstronomy #SciencePolicy

Ha sido un camino apasionante, pero entre todos lo logramos: ¡España suscribe la convención del Observatorio SKA!

Eine tolle Sache: Deutschland beteiligt sich (wieder) am internationalen #SKA-Observatorium (#SKAO), dem Super-Radioteleskop, das derzeit in Südafrika und Australien entsteht. Für @weltraum und @riffreporter habe ich mal die Hintergründe aufgeschrieben (€):

Having lived in the UK for eight years, and worked with many Dutch colleagues at #SKAO, I can vouch for this… https://yewtu.be/watch?v=wrEZwe1nbBU

From my previous stint at SKAO, there are also many people to mention, but they have a nice portal for celebrating Women in Stem:

My colleague Daniel Hayden is looking for a Princial Systems Engineer at SKAO. This person will lead the systems engineering activities for one of the two SKA telescopes under construction.

Working with Daniel is great, so please consider it as an option!

Check out our large, colorful cosmographic maps recently published in our WALLABY Survey
paper: https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac3246

Here, a map the NGC4636 field, is also supplemented by an online interactive #sketchfab visualization: https://skfb.ly/ozwNz

WALLABY is one of the key survey science projects on #ASKAP, one of the precursor instruments to the SKA "Square Kilometer Array" project.

It has been great catching up with friends and colleagues in Cheshire, at #JodrellBank and the #SKAO. My first work related trip abroad since 2019.

@eumrz es el tipo de contrato (versión NEC3) que se utilizó para la #Terminal5 de #Heathrow y el que se está utilizando (versión NEC4) en #SKAO.

@Di4na @foosel oh, I had not understood that, I was thinking of more general principles… and it never occurred to me that someone else could think otherwise.

At #SKAO we were creating our own images and repositories for dependencies, with their own security setups, because we understood we could not force that upstream.

#KnowledgeBit: #SKAO: The Revolutionary #Telescope 40,000 Times Bigger Than #JWST.

When completed, it will have a total collecting area of approximately one square kilometre.

It will operate over a wide range of frequencies and its size will make it 50 times more sensitive than any other radio instrument

#SKA #Observatory marks a momentous milestone with the formal start of construction at #telescope sites in South Africa and Australia.

We at #Cosylab are excited to be part of the project and work on the SKA telescopes’ observation monitor and controls software.
