Pariah Posted December 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 As of right now, I am completely caught up with grading. (Not counting the late work and makeup work, of course.) Final grades are due next Friday by midnight, but we will be on the road long before then. So I'm hoping to get things posted Thursday. We'll see.

Pariah Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 If the moon were bigger than the earth, we would be orbiting it, not the other way around. It's amazing how people will double down on false information that would take a 5 Second Google search to disprove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stings us, precioussss. I've had coworkers tease me about that just to get me riled up. Of course, I teased them about other stuff, so I guess we were even. And yes, when I told people I was studying astronomy, they'd ask me for their horoscopes. Edited January 17 by tkdguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 When you have Doctors of the Catholic Church who are The Great write about astrology it makes you wonder if science is missing something. And that answer is Platonism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at the opposite end of the campus from the Math, Science, and Engineering buildings, so it's not a surprise for me. The Flora Dungan Humanities building is visible over the interviewers shoulder in some scenes. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Another astronomy ed workshop from the Rubin Observatory people: link (let me know if that link doesn't work right; another "upgrade" of Outlook means I have to eye-hand transcribe it from an email, because the old highlight-and-copy no longer works) Pariah and tkdguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, there may be a time conflict, as I've got a MERP game that day. My biggest beef with the ASP and other such organizations is that they offer memberships but not jobs. I would love to work for such an organization, but it seems it's only interested in asking me for money I don't have. *EDIT: It turns out the workshop is just a revised version of a course I took a few years ago, so I can happily skip this one.

Cancer Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 The ASP has never been a conduit for jobs; astronomy jobs in the US are principally are listed via the American Astronomical Society (and I think nearly all of those are PhD-level jobs), aas.org. I thought the ASP's HQ was in San Francisco, and I can see them listing jobs in their offices only locally. You might see if you can make a contact via "normal" job-seeker channels, provided my memory about their location is correct. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
