Public engagement cannot just be the job of a couple of celebrity professors at Princeton and a small cohort of impoverished contingents whose projects can't be sustained against the cruel winds of adjunctcy.
It has to be a major priority for the whole field.

Well fore-warned is fore-armed 😊. Some new work from a UTas PhD project on the motion of the Large Magellanic Cloud is on the way as well. That will improve our understanding of Local Group Dynamics even more.

I believe the statistics say it's worse now, but when my family came down with norovirus in 2006, the doctor definitely said "you have the cruise ship virus". It's the kind of experience that sticks in the memory...
