It is tragic news to read today that today they have found the body of Tom Marsh, roughly 5 km from La Silla Observatory. Tom was a tremendous colleague and scientist. bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

Heard about NormConf 🚿 earlier (via UoB Advanced Research Computing (BEAR)) and the talk titles are amazing! normconf.com/#schedule "Five semesters of linear algebra and all I do is solve Python dependency problems"Tim Hopper "Alaska challenged my preconceived notions of storing sunset data"@skyetetra 🤣

@aCarlRodriguez Yes! What you're looking for is a Research Software Engineer! I am one, it's great! PhD & postdoc in astrophysics, transitioned to this just over a year ago. Have a look at software.ac.uk/blog/2016-10-0… to explain what we do, US-RSE | @us_rse@fosstodon ReSA (@[email protected]) Software Sustainability Institute to find your locals! 🥳

This short article (an adapted extract from my recent book 'If Science is to Save us') offers a somewhat depressing 'take' on the attractions of research that's based in universities, researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-vie…

Today I learned about ASASSN-14ko - a periodic AGN(?) that actually looks convincing. Here is its lightcurve from last year's paper by Payne et al.

HLSP Update: TASOC Sector 26 is now available in MAST Portal and astroquery.mast, completing the delivery of TASOC DR6 data. This final Sector adds 1.3 million light curves produced by the T'DA team to the collection. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/tasoc

Steven Strogatz My friend David Tsang made a style file for problem sets that's very feature-rich: you include the answers in the same TeX source and can turn them on/off, you can have the answers flipped upside down, etc. Available at github.com/davtsang/Tsang…

Does your (EU) country attract or lose top researchers? AT, CH attract a lot. FR, DE, BE, ES are open places: as many leave as arrive. IE is a closed system. Italy, there is something very wrong: *very* few come, many go. Plot made with European Research Council (ERC) data.

HLSP Update: QLP calibrated #TESS light curves for Sector 43 are now available in MAST Portal and astroquery.mast. This release adds 686970 light curves to the collection. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/qlp
