Am I using Blue Sky wrong? I posted the same question here and on The Bad Place. I got one response here, but 9 over there. I have much larger follower/following numbers over there, is that the reason? Or am I missing some functionality here that would lead to more interactions?

Hi exoplanet-sky, do European universities have summer undergrad research programs similar to REUs? I have a very bright undergrad who would be interested, but I'm not familiar with what opportunities there might be.

I landed on Chemist twice. Does that mean I have to give back my Astronomy diploma?
What kind of scientist are you?🤔

I had an academic stress dream last night, where I showed up to a workshop to find out I was supposed to give the second talk, which I didn't have prepared. So I decided I would try to throw together some slides during the first talk, with titles and fun distracting pictures and just talk over them.
