Rob from Galactic Interactions is here
as is Phil from Bad Asronomy
I gather Sean and Jennifer are here also, not bumped into any of them.
'Course my flight was late and I completely missed the opening reception.
Phil has a good entry on the COSMOS "structure of dark matter press release, Rob on black hole spin.
PS: Professor Astronomy is also here
I'd expect Astroprof to be here also, but the link is dead.
Babe in the Universe is here also
Yes indeedy Astroprofs here also
