Qs: could rings form?
Qs: what to hit next?
A: material may have got stuck in the system leading to a long-lasting tail. As for next targets: top priority is a search telescope, more kinetic impactors to be decided #NAM2023 #Astronomy #DARTMission #PlanetaryDefense

Rivkin mentions: results are open access because planetary defence is a global concern 🌍🌎🌏 #NAM2023 #Astronomy
Issues with using a spacecraft to nudge the orbit of an asteroid: how much debris is created? How long does the debris take to clear? #NAM2023 #Astronomy
After taking a decompression break, excited to hear about DART #NAM2023 #Astronomy
Yay Comet Chasers and linking to DART + planetary defence. Very cool project that manages to reach multiple audiences in multiple languages #NAM2023 #Astronomy #PublicEngagement #Outreach #SciComm

Fantastic talk from Chemaine Barrett on LEGO satellite building workshops! Now: Chris North on multimessenger astronomy in the classroom #NAM2023 #Astronomy #Outreach #PublicEngagement #SciComm

Heartened to hear that nonbinary students especially are feeling more welcomed and ready for university after doing work experience with nonbinary colleagues #NAM2023
Andy Newsam highlighting: talk to your ethics committee at your university beforehand, they can make your evaluation better. Dom Galliano says: build ethics in from the start #NAM2023
Finally: #SDSS plates for education! The SDSS plates are getting a new life in schools. My #MaterialCulture heart is sooooooo happy #NAM2023 #Astronomy #SciComm #PublicEngagement

Challenges include lack of standards for sonification and issues with dissemination (journals don't know how to handle sonification, people reinvent the wheel) #NAM2023 #Astronomy
Sonification & #PublicEngagement require multi-skilled team including co-creation with BVI people. Girdhar played a sound sample for us with stars - it was really soothing #NAM2023 #Astronomy #Outreach
#PublicEngagement #nam2023 #astronomy #outreach
And now: turning the universe into sound with Aish Girdhar #NAM2023 #Astronomy
Killestein talks about recognition of citizen scientists, follow up, information sharing #NAM2023 #CitSci #Astronomy
Next: Eleanor Macdonald from @kielder_obs talking about #outreach at Kielder and how folks can get involved #NAM2023

If you come to the interdisciplinary panel on the first floor of the CSL today, you can hear me rant more about effective interdisciplinary work. More importantly, I have some FANTASTIC co-panelists working on all sorts of cool stuff with much more interesting insights! #NAM2023
Next: Dr Sadie Jones and Madeline-Mae Ward on black hole #poetry #bhpoetry #NAM2023 #Astronomy
What I like about this is:
- following up with same students
- introduces new scientific language AND new concepts in the humanities
#poetry #bhpoetry #nam2023 #astronomy
First is Dr Sarah Roberts talking to us about Stardust Hunters - a pilot project running in South & West Wales engaging children with hunting bits of shooting stars on earth #NAM2023
Waiting for my coffee to kick in before #NAM2023 first #education, #outreach and #PublicEngagement session of the day
