Now on ScienceBlogs: On cheerleaders and watchdogs - the role of science journalism [Not Exactly Rocket Science]
Speculations on astronomy, astrophysics, news I find interesting, theoretical issues, science and science policy. I will digress into computational physics, science fiction and general issues and basically whatever I feel like whenever. And, of course, cats.
Still working on an analytic exact approximate solution to the herding problem.
So you want to be an astrophysicist?

Ok, The Official Dynamics of Cats Obama Campaign Donation Funding Match is on.
Site meter is up, a few hours early, so discount the number by some small n.
So... I'll take requests. Since this is in a good cause.
Is there anything people would like me to cover specifically during the next month, in my quest to actually maintain blogging activity before semester begins and to try to stay broadly on topic?

McCain: Stay in Iraq, bomb Iran
Obama: Stay in Afghanistan, bomb Pakistan
Nice to see some real policy differences!
Still, Obama is far lesser evil of the two. McCain must not win, he's dangerous.

Explain why I read about UC President Yudof's E-mail to the faculty in your blog 3 hours before I actually got the E-mail. Are the electrons in California on work to rule?

Well, if there's anything to say about CoRoT (apart from what's in the odd recycled press release)...

I hope to hear something about CoRoT in the second half of August.
I am afraid I cannot explain the UC thing, not without beer.

The American Astronomical Society is in the process of examining its astronomy education programs, in light of a newly created vision document and strategic plan that was recently approved by the governing council. There has been a bit of information & opinion posted about this at the astrolrner discussion group (http://astronomy101.jpl.nasa.gov/discussion/index.cfm), including detailed postings by the AAS Executive Officer and Education Officer.
Perhaps you'd like to post something here about your thoughts on the role of your professional society in science education?

Hi, Steinn. Long time no virtual see.
What is your take on climate and other global change issues these days?
