Doing some last minute touch ups on my #AAS241 talk this afternoon. Five minutes really is not enough time for a research talk, and I think this might be the last AAS talk I give for a long time. Particularly being in the afternoon session of the last day, when I need to be tearing down our booth and when most of my friends have said "oh, sorry, I'll be gone by then," the effort-to-return ratio is, pardon the pun, astronomical. #AstroChatter #Astrodon

Say hello to Cone Nebula 👋 This magnificent entity (not the Crystalline one 🖖) is seven light years long and the product of newly created stars letting off wind after their Christmas brussels (science FACT). Picture from @esoastronomy on account of their 60 year anniversary. Thank you @shaman for the original share. #ConeNebula #ESO #VLT #Astrodon #AstroChatter #astrophotogrphy

To make it past the postdoc, you've got to be hustling (and have significant amounts of luck and/or privilege along the way). But, now that I have a permanent job, I'm finding it challenging to break my old habits. #AcademicChatter #AstroChatter
