*pokes head from out of hiding*
Yes, I actually took a vacation this vacation, from most everything. I certainly needed it! I’m still running around the Northeast for a few more days, then it’s off to URSI for my first ever conference talk! Luckily, that’s over on the first day, so I can relax and enjoy the other scientific talks in the J session (radio astronomy!) and the sites around Boulder, CO. And, since lots of cool astronomy bloggers will be covering the American Astronomical Society meeting at that time, I’ll try and post fun and interesting updates from URSI right here!
A couple of cool things that caught my eye… Ian O’Neill blogs about human-caused climate change and how the Spanish conquistadors may have inadvertently contributed to the Little Ice Age. Really fascinating stuff! Also, Kimbo treats the general definition of skepticism and the skeptical movement in a very read-worthy post.
Tomorrow, it’s off to the city of brotherly love!
