Not a lot of great news these days. But celebrating *Dr.* Osase Omoruyi yesterday was a bright light. Being lucky enough to advise her has been the highlight of my career. Congratulations, Dr. Omoruyi!

#AAS245 there is an official AAS Bird in the plenary hall. I hear its name is Birdy McBirdface. Birdy is friendly to astronomers and brings good luck if it lands on you. 😎🕊️

It’s day one of #AAS245 and our Vice President @dawngelino.bsky.social is already wielding a 12 inch butcher knife. Doesn’t bode well for the week. 😬

A low-stakes joy of the year has been discovering that the favorite-of-my-life book, One Hundred Years of Solitude, has been adapted into a 16 part Netflix adaption that is ... exquisite? Sublime? This was supposed to be an unfilmable book but it's just beautifully done.

This, from my dear friend (and recent @aasoffice.bsky.social President) @profkelsey.bsky.social is a beautiful, profound, moving read. An extraordinary meditation on our connection to the cosmos and the biggest questions that animate us. Highly recommend read (and gift!).

Osase Omoruyi, a *brilliant* PhD student at Harvard, wrote this absolutely monumental and gorgeously multiwavelength magnum opus on one of the prettiest galaxies and clusters I've ever seen. What she found was even more awesome: arxiv.org/abs/2312.06762

oh I see! ok, that makes sense. I didn't realize you could just fiddle with a default source straight from the calculation tab.

JWST friends: is there any reason why these tabs in the ETC shouldn't be reversed? I can't think of any ETC use case in which one wouldn't first set up a Scene+Source, then run a calculation. Feels better for the mental flow to have the tabs in L->R order of operations?
