@SethPartnow A decent way to assess jobs is the turnover you see in them. I notice that despite the intense interest a lot of folks have in these front office roles, my impression is that turnover is higher that I would have guessed, which says something about what the job must be like.

yes, it would be quite the problem if someone broke into my account to finish my NSF progress report
fantasy: with more pianos in public places, i'd hear jazz standards or etudes being played reality: 98% of the users are bored 4 year olds
even by the normal inscrutable standards of the NSF, this change to have the GRFP letters due *before* the application is odd and a bad idea.

i’m excited to announce that i am hiring! i am looking for a postdoc in computational astrophysics that’s excited about massive stars, stellar transients, and multi-messenger astronomy to join my group at @StewardAstro.

Have fun up in them mountains dawg
If Al Horford becomes an NBA champion, I will quit my job, become a monk, and never watch the sport of basketball again.
@SethPartnow what is the O/U time left to miss the 2nd up 2?

Amazing as the aurora this weekend were, an active Sun has a cost to astronomy. Here is the Hubble Space Telescope's lifetime altitude (thanks @planet4589) with marks for boosts from Space Shuttle servicing missions. In orange are sunspots, a proxy for the Sun's activity. (1/6)

There is an insane amount of Steve Albini recordings you could highlight, but the fact that him and Jason Molina got this in the first take will always be his peak to me. open.spotify.com/track/5Plx6Ohv…

@david_kipping @Astro_Wright @AIP_Stats Based on some unofficial and incomplete work I did a few years ago, conditional on getting an astro PhD, the number seemed like > 10% (but < 30%).
@david_kipping @Astro_Wright @AIP_Stats People get tenure-stream faculty jobs 10+ years post-PhD. It's tough to do this well.
