Excellent game. Also today was the first time I heard the women's team sing it. Are you coming to the Hampshire Championship match?

Excellent Pulsars SAN by the way. Can we estimate the percentage of pulsars that are detectable because they flash their beams in our direction? There must be a lot that are off-axis and we never see them.

Excellent! I see you stayed away from the 'Bloody Marys' this time! The Vera Rubin observatory looks utterly staggering. So much to learn from its data. Have you been able to visit it in person?

I had watched the lecture live, but watched again. The New Horizons data made me wonder if we will ever send two Gaia type craft well away from the earth in opposite directions to increase the measurable parallax. A very enjoyable lecture, but personally I have never thrown a duck into a pond!

Is there still a solar powered boat on the Serpentine? Back in 2006 my young daughter and I were allowed to take the wheel for a bit!
