Back when I was writing a bit more regularly, I was posting monthly updates here. Since I haven’t been doing so and have just gotten this site running again, here’s a list of what I’ve been doing (other than teaching and moving and teaching some more) in 2015: Blogs: New Year, New Look! – CosmoQuest,Continue reading “Catching up to 2015”

July Roundup
Well, it’s official. I’ve entered “Year of 30!” July saw CONvergence and SkepchickCon, shifting to some new projects, a little vacation with friends, back to work, and finally, my birthday. July also saw the usual roundup of blogs and videos not on this blog, so here is the roundup: Blogs: CosmoQuest at Maker Faire –Continue reading “July Roundup”
Around the Interwebz (and US) in July
Well since August is almost over, I should post my July links, huh? July was a busy month of travel for me. I went to CONvergence in Minneapolis, did a brief stint in the Poconos with Tim and family, attended a virtual conference from home while I was sick, then went to San Jose forContinue reading “Around the Interwebz (and US) in July”

Overloaded with Astronomy

The last week and a half saw me in two of the most fun cities I know and at two different conferences presenting my thesis work and all kinds of other professional stuff. Crazy. You can get a nice sense of the week’s astronomy and space stories by watching the weeklyContinue reading “Overloaded with Astronomy”

Green chile mania
Still recovering from my New Mexico trip, followed by a successful outreach event with the Girl Scouts at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Center. And then struggling to find disk space for the many GBs of data that are coming from our telescope! The fun never ends. So, in honor of New Mexico, I give you bitContinue reading “Green chile mania”
Friggin’ Piranhas!
I have to say, I’m a wee bit jealous of my buddy and fellow bellydancer Alla as she travels the WORLD with UVa’s Semester at Sea. Here she is floating on the Amazon, learning about piranha’s first-hand from a tour guide. Luckily, they all escape with their hands intact.

Children of the Daleks
I swear. My office-neighbor Gail finds the best stuff on the internet. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tLBDkpM870&w=500&h=305] Don’t those exterminating kiddies look so darn happy! WANT. Think I could fit? (Yeah, I know, the post-a-day thing not going so well. But better than it used to be!)
The Grad Monster
Finally got a chance to watch this fantabulous Lady Gaga spoof about a grad student’s worst nightmare… [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl4L4M8m4d0&w=500&h=304]
