Ok, so maybe it’s not the best weather for students to do the heliostat experiment, but Hobart is an awesome place for atmospheric optics.

An ordinary day in academia: blocked ordering equipment for unspecified reasons, querying support, told to email someone else, told by that person it's not their problem, redirected to a webform, filling out the webform and designating it for approval, where it needs to be approved by... me.

Astro folk: DON'T PANIC! There is still time to apply for a super-awesome postdoc in our microlensing group at the University of Tasmania: jobregister.aas.org/ad/19e50ed9

Are you an astronomer looking for a postdoc in a unique place? Do you know about "that one weird trick" from general relativity that we can use to find exoplanets in the Galactic bulge?

This is a very satisfying Google Scholar word cloud of my publications (shiny.rcg.sfu.ca/u/rdmorin/sc... )… but how did “orogenic” sneak in there?

Nice thing about warm-weather Christmas is I don’t have to feel restricted to heavy stouts for the occasion- the honeycomb on the label of this wild ale also reminds me of mirrors. (Still living up to how I summarised my undergraduate life for the yearbook, 30 years ago: “astrobeer”)
